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.
