PUMPING HEIGHT
When water is pumped to an elevated position, any volume that has not
reached the discharge outlet can flow back through the pump when
the pump shuts off. This back-flow can cause the water level in small
areas to rise enough to re-start the pump. A check valve [Check Valve Sold
Separately] is required in this situation. For proper operation, make certain
the check valve is oriented as instructed.

attempting any repairs. Failure to follow will result in serious injury or death.
Corrective Action
1. Reset breaker
2. Check for damaged wiring or moisture
3. If voltage is under 108 volts, check wiring size
4. Replace pump
5. Rinse out switch with clean water (Figure 3 on page 3)
6. Remove base and impeller plate (Figure 2 on page 3) check for
debris; clean
7. Clean inlet screen (Figure 2 on page 3)
8. Clean hole, inside volute housing, with a pin or paper clip (Figure 2
on page 3)
1. Install or replace check valve [Sold Separately: 62061-001]

1. Rinse out switch with clean water (Figure 3 on page 3)
2. Raise pump or reduce discharge height
1. Remove base and impeller plate (Figure 2 on page 3), check for
debris; clean
2. Clean hole, inside volute housing, with a pin or paper clip
(Figure 2 on page 3)
3. Check for kinks, reposition hose or check for debris
4. Reposition pump to reduce discharge height

In small areas a check valve is required to prevent
backflow. Without a check valve the pump may cycle
