OPERATION
Risk of electric shock. 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 exten-
sion cords, clogged impeller, very low head or lift, etc., could cause cycling.
3. Pump will not remove all water. If manually operated pump is operating
and suddenly no water comes out discharge hose, shut off unit immediate-
ly. Water level is probably very low and unit has broken prime.
NOTICE: For continuous operation, water depth must be at least 5"
(127mm) to prevent motor overheating.
NOTICE: This pump has no serviceable parts inside case. Opening case will ruin pump. If obstructions or blockages of impeller cannot be
cleaned out from the outside (for instance, by washing out with a garden hose), replace pump.
Hazardous voltage; can shock, burn or kill. Unplug pump before attempting to clean or work on pump.
SYMPTOM
Pump won't start or run.
Pump starts and stops
too often.
Pump won't shut off.
Pump operates but
delivers little or no water.
