Operation

OPERATION
Risk of electric shock. 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
unduly, switch will cut off all power before dam-
age can be done to motor. When motor has
cooled sufficiently, switch will reset automatically
and restart motor. If protector trips repeatedly,
pump should be removed and checked as to
cause of difficulty. 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 water level is probably very low
and the unit has broken prime.
NOTICE: For continuous operation, water depth
must be at least 5" (127mm) to prevent the
motor from overheating. A fully submerged
pump is preferred for proper cooling when a
pump runs continuously.
Risk of electric shock. Before attempt-
ing to check why unit has stopped operating,
disconnect power from unit.
