Operation / Maintenance
OPERATION
The automatic overload protector in the motor will protect
motor from burning out due to over heating/overloading.
When motor cools down, protector automatically resets
and starts motor.
If overload trips frequently, check for cause. It could be
a stuck impeller, wrong/low voltage, or electrical failure
in motor. If an electrical failure in the motor is suspected,
have it serviced by a competent repairman.
NOTICE: Do not allow pump to run in a dry sump. It will
void the warranty and may damage the pump.
Pump is permanently lubricated. No oiling or greasing is
required.

or cause death. Before removing pump from basin for
