Operation
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet
hands or when standing on wet or damp surface, or in
water.
1. Shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do not
operate pump unless it is submerged in 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, switch
will cut off all power before damage can be done
to motor. When motor has cooled, switch will reset
automatically and restart motor. If protector trips
repeatedly, pump should be removed and checked.
Low voltage, long extension cords, clogged impeller,
very low head or lift, or a plugged or frozen discharge
pipe, etc., could cause cycling.
3. Pump will not remove all water. If operating a pump
manually and suddenly no water comes out of the
discharge hose, shut off the unit immediately. The unit
has broken prime due to a very low water level.
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. Before attempting to check why unit has stopped
operating, disconnect power from unit.
