Care And Cleaning - K2 Pumps UTM01602K Manual De Instrucciones

NOTE: After starting, the pump will lower the water level to 1/ 4in. (6.4 mm) before losing suction. It will not pick up water
less than1/ 4in. (6.4 mm) deep when running and will not operate successfully if started in only 1/ 4in. (6.4 mm) of water.
AIRLOCK
This pump is a centrifugal utility pump, designed to efficiently remove water.
However, it cannot move air. If airis trapped inside the pump (a condition
called"airlock"), the pump cannot pump water out even thoughthe pump is
completely submerged. This pump has an anti-airlock hole. Air flows out
through the anti-airlock hole, eliminating the airlock so that the pump can operate
properly. If debris blocks the anti-airlock hole, unplug the pump, clean out the
anti-airlock hole, and restart thepump. Alternately, drain the water out of the
garden hose, keep the end of the hose out of the water, and plugin the power
cord, restarting the pump.
CAUTION: This hole is for anti-airlock purposes. Leakage of air or water is
NORMAL.
DO NOT BLOCK THIS HOLE!
