OPERATION
WARNING: Do not handle this pump or plug in or unplug this pump with wet hands or while standing in water, unless you
are certain all power has been turned off to the pump. Remember, the pump should be connected only to a properly
grounded, GFCI outlet.
1.
Make certain the pump is submerged in water. Running the pump dry can damage the shaft seal.
2.
Plug the pump cord into the back of the float switch cord's plug. Plug the float switch cord into a 115V GFCI power
outlet.
3.
After connecting power to the pump and periodically afterwards, test the pump:
a. Fill the basin to above the float switch operation ON Height. The pump should start pumping.
b. The pump should pump the water down to below its float switch operation OFF Height and then stop pumping.
c. If the water drains back into the basin and restarts the pump, make sure the check valve is properly installed and
working. Also make sure that all pipe connections are tight.
4. The motor is equipped with an automatically resetting thermal overload protector. If the motor gets too hot, the
overload protector will shut off the pump before it is damaged. When the motor has cooled sufficiently, the overload
protector will reset, and the motor will restart.
NOTICE: If the overload protector stops the pump repeatedly, disconnect the power from the pump and check to find the
problem. Low voltage, a long extension cord, clogged impeller, screen blocked by debris, or water that is too hot can
cause motor overheating.
