Operation
Operation
Risk of electric shock. Can shock,
burn or kill. Do not handle a pump or pump
motor with wet hands or when standing on wet
or damp surface, or in water.
1. Shaft seal depends on water for lubrication.
Do not operate pump unless it is submerged
in water as seal may be damaged if allowed
to run dry.
2. Motor is equipped with automatic reset
thermal protector. If temperature in motor
should rise unduly, switch will cut off all
power before damage can be done to motor.
When motor has cooled sufficiently, switch
will reset automatically and restart motor.
If protector trips repeatedly, pump should
be removed and checked as to cause of
difficulty. Low voltage, long extension cords,
clogged impeller, very low head or lift, or a
plugged or frozen discharge pipe, etc., could
cause cycling.
For assistance, call Simer Customer Service at
3. Pump will not remove all water. If operating
a pump manually, and suddenly no water
comes out of the discharge hose, shut off the
unit immediately. The water level is probably
very low and the unit has broken prime.
Risk of electric shock. Can
shock, burn or kill. Before attempting to
check why unit has stopped operating,
disconnect power from unit.
