Operation
OPERATION
Risk of electrical shock. Can burn or cause
death. Do not handle pump or pump motor with wet hands
or when standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.
Disconnect power from pump before handling, servicing, or
attempting to repair pump.
NOTE: The power cord for this pump is equipped with a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). The GFCI will shut
down the pump in the event of leakage of electrical current
from the pump motor or cord to ground. If the pump does not
respond when plugged in, unplug it, reset the GFCI (push the
RESET button on the plug) and plug it in again. If it still doesn't
respond, make sure that the circuit breaker for the branch
circuit is in the 'on' position (closed). if the circuit breaker
is closed and the pump doesn't respond, consult a licensed
electrician. DO NOT TRY TO MODIFY the cord or plug, and
do not remove the GFCI.
The Electronic Pool Cover Pump is fully Automatic in
Operation. The "smart" controller periodically starts the pump
to sense if water is present. If it senses water it will run for
a period of time occasionally cycling off for a few seconds
and turning on to verify it has water to remove and not just
stirring a small puddle. If no water is detected the start cycle
delay will gradually increase. As soon as water is detected the
sequence repeats again.
NOTICE: When you plug the pump into the outlet, it will start
and run for 5 seconds. It will then cycle as described above.
If the unit is put in the water and started, interrupting the water
flow into the pump during the 5-second water-sensing run will
cause it to wait 2-1/2 minutes before restarting.
1. The motor is equipped with an automatically resetting
thermal overload protector. If the motor gets too hot,
the overload protector will stop the motor before it is
damaged. When the motor has cooled sufficiently, the
overload protector will reset itself and the motor will
restart.
NOTICE: If the overload protector stops the pump
repeatedly, disconnect the power from the pump and check
it to find the problem. Low voltage, clogged impeller,
too much back pressure in the discharge hose (as when
pumping through 50' (15 M) of coiled hose), or extended
running of pump with no load, can all cause overheating.
2. The water being pumped cools the motor, allowing the
pump to run continuously at any depth of water above 1/4".
However, if the motor overload stops the pump, allow it to
cool for one hour before restarting. The motor will not restart
before the overload has cooled.
For parts or assistance, call Simer Customer Service at
LOCKED ROTOR
To restart the pump manually, unplug it and plug it in again.
1. If the rotor is locked, UNPLUG THE PUMP, remove the
base, shield, and screen, and clean out the rotor.
Risk of dangerous or fatal electrical shock.
Disconnect the pump from the power source before
disassembling the pump or cleaning out the rotor.
2. See Page 4 for important information about the alignment
of the screen and shield when you reassemble them. Note
that the pump will not operate correctly if these parts are
not correctly installed.
3. Once you have reassembled the pump, reset it on the pool
cover and plug it in again to resume normal operation.
AIRLOCKS
When a pump airlocks, it runs but does not move any water.
An airlock will cause the pump to overheat and fail. This
pump has an anti-airlock hole in the side of the pump body. If
you suspect an airlock, unplug the pump, clean out the anti-
airlock hole with a paper clip or piece of wire, and restart the
pump.
NOTICE: If the outlet of the discharge hose is submerged you
must have a 1/8" hole in the discharge hose to prevent airlock.
This hole must be open to air.
NOTICE: If you move the pump or the pump airlocks, be sure to
drain the hose before trying to restart the pump.
