vidual branch circuit, with a Class A, 15 amp
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). Consult
your local electrician for information and avail-
ability.

always disconnect power from unit.
3. The motor is equipped with an automatic reset
thermal protector to protect unit from overheat-
ing. When motor has cooled sufficiently, switch
will reset automatically and restart motor.
Repeated tripping could be caused by low volt-
age, long extension cords, clogged impeller,
very low head or lift, etc. Cycling of protector
will cause eventual motor burnout.
Corrective Action
Check fuse, circuit breaker, power cord and and
electrical outlet.
If voltage wiring under recommended minimum, check
size of wiring from main source. If OK, contact Electric
Company or local Hydro cuthority.
Operate switch manually and replace if inoperative.
Check to see float is not rubbing sump wall or float rod
rubbing or stuck against sump cover.
Replace float if filled with water.
If pump has been running and stops before sump is
emptied, automatic overload may have been tripped.
Check inlet screen to be sure impeller is not jammed. If
so, free impeller of obstruction.
Check power cord, automatic switch and motor.
Replace faulty parts as needed.
Check inlet and clean if needed.
Clear discharge line and check valve for obstruction.
Refer to Corrective Action on low voltage in above
section.
Drill a 1/8" (3.2mm) hole in discharge pipe just above
pump body but below the check valve.
Replace impeller or shaft as needed.
Lower float rod stop.
Replace automatic switch.
Refer to No. 5 in Installtion Instructions
