MAINTENANCE
Risk of electric shock. Can burn or cause
death. Disconnect the power before servicing, repairing,
or working on pump.
The pump's motor is completely sealed in the motor
housing and does not require any service. Disassembly
of the motor housing or modification or removal of the
power cord voids the warranty. The power cord is non-
replaceable.
Troubleshooting
NOTICE: This pump has no serviceable parts inside the
case. Opening the case will ruin the pump. If obstruc-
tions or blockages of the impeller cannot be cleaned out
from the outside (for instance, by washing out with a gar-
den hose), replace the pump.

mersible type and must be in water at all times for prop-
er operation and cooling.
Periodically clean the suction screen. Make sure that
impeller rotation is not being hampered by any debris.
