any oil leaks out of the motor it can kill fish.
1.
Shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do not
operate pump unless it is in at least 3/16" (4.75mm)
of water as seal may be damaged if allowed to
run dry.
2.
Motor is equipped with automatic reset thermal
protector. If temperature in motor should rise unduly,
switch will cut off all power before damage can be
done to motor. When motor has cooled sufficiently,
switch will reset automatically and restart motor. If
protector trips repeatedly, pump should be checked
as to cause of difficulty. Low voltage, long extension
cords, clogged impeller, very low head or lift, etc.,
could cause cycling.
3.
Pump will pump water down to 3/16" (4.75mm); this
means that it will not remove all water. If unit has
been operating and suddenly no water comes out of
discharge hose, shut off unit immediately. Water level

Make certain that the pump is unplugged before attempting
to service or remove any component.
1.
The motor in the unit is sealed in oil. No additional
lubrication is necessary.

NOTICE Disassembly of the motor assembly will void
the warranty. It might also cause internal leakage and
damage to the unit. If repairs are required, return the
pump to the dealer from whom it was purchased.

burn or kill. Before attempting to check why unit has
stopped operating, disconnect power from unit. Do
not handle pump with wet hands or when standing
on wet or damp surfaces, or in water. Failure to
follow precaution can result in personal injury and/or
property damage.
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 bottom of
the pump body (see REPAIR PARTS). If you suspect an
airlock, unplug the pump, clean out the anti-airlock hole
with a paper clip or piece of wire, and restart pump.
NOTICE This hole allows the pump to start priming within
15 seconds in as little as 1/2" of water. NEVER restart
pump in less than 1/2" of water. Leakage from the anti-
airlock hole is normal.
MAINTENANCE
PUMP CLEANING
NOTICE Attempting to disassemble motor will void
the warranty.
1.
Disconnect power cord from electrical outlet before
working on pump. The volute screen and shield may
be removed to replace impeller or clean pump of mud
or debris.
