Operation; Check Valve - Flotec FPSC2200A Owner's Manual

Operation

1. The shaft seal depends on water for
lubrication. Do not operate the pump unless
it is submerged in water; running it dry may
damage the seal.
2. If the pump overheats, an automatic-reset
thermal protector cuts off the power and stops
the motor before it can be damaged. The motor
will automatically restart when it cools. If the
protector trips repeatedly, unplug the pump,
remove it from the sump, and check it for
the cause of the difficulty. Low voltage, long
extension cords, clogged impeller, very low lift,
a plugged or frozen discharge pipe, etc., can
all cause cycling and overheating.
3. This pump will not remove all the water in the
sump. If you are running the pump manually
and water stops coming out of the discharge,
the pump has probably run dry. Shut it off
immediately and check the water level.
Figure 7 – LIFT: Lift is the vertical distance the
pump actually lifts water. The higher the lift, the
lower the flow.
