Hydro authority.
Operate switch manually and replace if inoperative.
Check to see float is not rubbing sump wall or float rod rubbing or
stuck against sump cover.

automatic overload may have tripped. Check inlet screen to be
sure impeller is not jammed. If so, free impeller of obstruction.
Check power cord, automatic switch and motor. Replace faulty
parts as needed.
Check inlet and clean if needed.
Clear discharge line and check valve for obstruction.
Refer Corrective Actionon low line voltage in above section.
Dril a 1/8" (3.2mm) hole in discharge pipe just above pump body
but below the check valvee.
Replace impeller or shaft as needed.
Lower float rod stop.
Replace automatic switch.
Refer to No. 5 in Insallation instructions.

2. Fill sump pit with water, pump will start automatically
when lower rod stop actuates switch lever arm. When
upper rod stop actuates switch lever arm, pump will stop.
NOTICE Do not allow pump to run dry.
3. The motor is equipped with an automatic reset
thermal protector to protect unit from overheating.
When motor has cooled sufficiently, switch will reset
automatically and restart motor. Repeated tripping
could be caused by low voltage, long extension cords,
clogged impeller, very low head or lift, etc. Cycling of
protector will cause eventual motor burnout.
