3. Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Each unit is individually factory tested to ensure proper adjustment and operation. If the unit fails to operate properly, carefully re-read
the instructions to see that they have been followed correctly. Routine maintenance is not required on the pump itself, but associated
connections may require occasional attention. The check valve on the discharge should also be checked for freedom of operation at
the same time.
NOTE: Liberty Pumps, Inc. assumes no responsibility for damage or injury due to disassembly beyond float removal in the field.
Disassembly, other than at Liberty Pumps or its authorized service centers, automatically voids warranty.
Problem

3 Year Limited Warranty
Liberty Pumps, Inc. warrants that pumps of its manufacture are free from all factory defects in material and workmanship for a period of
3 years from the date of purchase. The date of purchase shall be determined by a dated sales receipt noting the model and serial
number of the pump. The dated sales receipt must accompany the returned pump if the date of return is more than 3 years from the
"CODE" (date of manufacture) number noted on the pump nameplate. The manufacturer's obligation under this Warranty shall be
limited to the repair or replacement of any parts found by the manufacturer to be defective, provided the part or assembly is returned
freight prepaid to the manufacturer or its authorized service center, and provided that none of the following warranty-voiding
characteristics are evident. The manufacturer shall not be liable under this Warranty if the product has not been properly installed; if it
has been disassembled, modified, abused or tampered with; if the electrical cord has been cut, damaged or spliced; if the p ump
discharge has been reduced in size; if the pump has been used in water temperatures above the advertised rating, or water containing
sand, lime, cement, gravel or other abrasives; if the product has been used to pump chemicals or hydrocarbons; if a non-submersible
motor has been subjected to excessive moisture; or if the label bearing the serial, model and code number has been removed. Liberty

damages, including costs of removal, reinstallation or transportation. There is no other express warranty. All implied warranties,

Correction
Check that the unit is securely plugged in.
Have an electrician check all wiring for proper
connections and adequate capacity.
Check that float is free to move. If build-up
restricts float, clean and reinstall. If defective,
replace switch.
Check the discharge line for blockage,
including ice if the line passes through or into
cold areas.
Remove and examine for freedom of
operation and proper installation.
Try routing pipe to a lower level. If not
possible, another pumping station may be
required at a level of roughly half the total lift.
