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.
Risk of electric shock. Before attempting to check why unit has stopped operating, disconnect power from
unit.
