Operation

NOTICE Do not allow pump to run in a dry
sump. It will void the warranty and may damage
the pump.
An automatic overload protector in the motor
will protect motor from burning out due to
overheating/overloading. When motor cools
down, overload protector will automatically
reset and start motor.
If overload trips frequently, check for cause. It
could be a stuck impeller, wrong/low voltage, or
electrical failure in motor. If an electrical failure
in the motor is suspected, have it serviced by a
competent repairman.
Pump is permanently lubricated. No oiling or
greasing is required.
