Read the following instructions
carefully before replacing any
parts. Reasonable care and safe
methods should be practiced.
Check local codes and
requirements before installation.
Only competent electrician
should make the installations.
Before removing the pump from
its installation for repairs, check

the terminal block.
2. Miswiring of the float level
controls into the panel.
3. Miswiring inside the
control panel.
4. Tripped circuit breaker. If the
breaker is manually reset and
then trips off again, the
problem could be:
a. short circuit in motor or
control panel
b. water in the motor
housing
c. insufficient amp capacity
of
wiring or breakers, or low
voltage supply
d. improper panel wiring
5. Tripped overload. If overload
is manually reset and then
trips off again, the problem
could be:
a. pump or piping clogged
b. pump motor or bearings
