MAINTENANCE

Make certain that the pump is unplugged
before attempting to service or remove any compo-
nent.
1. The motor in the unit is sealed in oil. No additional lubri-
cation is necessary.
2. IMPORTANT: Disassembly of the motor assembly will
void the warranty. It might also cause internal leakage and
damage to the unit. If repairs are required, return the
pump to the dealer from whom it was purchased.
3. Inlet screen should be kept clean and free of all foreign
objects.
Pump Cleaning
NOTICE: Attempting to disassemble motor will void the
warranty.
1. Disconnect power cord from electrical outlet before work-
ing on pump. The volute bottom may be removed to re-
place impeller or clean pump of mud or debris.
2. Remove screws from volute bottom and clean impeller.
Replace the gasket/O-Ring if it is damaged.
To Reassemble:
Attach volute bottom to volute top with screws.
General
Risk of electric shock. When servicing
pump always disconnect power to electrical outlet
and remove pump electric cord from outlet.
1. If pump does not operate:
a. Check for loose plug at electric outlet.
b. Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers at
fuse box/circuit breaker box.
c. Be sure nothing interferes with action of automatic
float switch.
d. If a, b, and c above check OK, plug in a light that you
know works. If it lights, take your pump to Sears for
service. If it doesn't light, the electrical circuit is faulty;
consult a licensed electrician.
2. Pump starts, but blows fuses/trips circuit breakers:
After disconnecting power to pump, remove the screen
and shield from the bottom of the pump and make sure
that the impeller turns freely. Remove any debris ob-
structing impeller. If pump still does not operate cor-
rectly, return it to your nearest Sears Service Department
for repairs.
3. Pump runs, but does not empty sump:
a. Clean pump intake screen.
b. Water may be entering sump faster than the pump can
discharge it.
