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 it from
sump. Remove the plate from the bottom of the pump
and make sure that the impeller turns freely. Remove any
debris obstructing impeller. If pump still does not oper-
ate correctly, 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.
c. Be sure vertical distance from pump discharge outlet
to discharge pipe outlet does not exceed specifications.
See chart below.
d. Be sure discharge pipe is not plugged or frozen.
e. Be sure check valve is operating correctly.
Risk of electric shock. Unplug pump be-
fore attempting to service or remove any component.
