4.Use the hose, not the power cord, to position the pump on the pool cover and to retrieve the pump when finished. Make sure that the pump stands on its feet while running and that it is in at least 2-1/2” of water (the pump loses prime at 2- 1/4”).

5.With pump submersed in the water, plug the pump into a GFCI outlet.

6.Monitor water level on the pool cover to be ready to unplug the pump before it runs dry.

7.The motor is thermally protected. This means that the pump will shut off before damage from overloading can be done to the motor. Low volt- age, long extension cords, clogged impeller, very low head or lift, etc., could cause cycling.

8.This pump will pump water down to 2-1/4"; this means that it will not remove all water. If unit has been operating and suddenly no water comes out of discharge hose, shut off unit immediately. Water level is probably very low and unit has broken prime. Use mop or squeegee to remove remaining water.

9.Pump depends on water for lubrication. Do not operate pump unless it is in at least 2-1/4” of water as pump may be damaged if allowed to run dry.

Risk of electric shock. Before attempting to check why unit has stopped oper- ating, disconnect power from unit. Do not han- dle pump with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surfaces, or in water. Failure to fol- low this precaution can result in personal injury or death and/or property damage.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Pump won’t start or run.

1.Blown fuse: If blown, replace with fuse of prop- er size.

2.Low line voltage: If voltage under recommended minimum, check size of wiring from main switch on property. If OK, contact power company.

3.Obstructed impeller: Unplug pump and clear the impeller (Key No. 2) .

4.Pump Unplugged: Plug in pump.

5.Defective motor: Replace pump.

Pump operates but delivers little or no water.

1.Garden hose is air-locked: Remove the garden hose from the pump and hold the hose up while walking all of the water out of the hose. Emptying the hose of water should restore the flow.

2.Low line voltage: If voltage under recommended minimum, check size of wiring from main switch on property. If OK, contact power company.

3.Something caught in impeller: Follow instruc- tions under “To Clean Impeller” under “Maintenance”.

4.Plugged filter or screen: Remove parts and clean; replace if necessary.

5.Worn or defective parts or plugged impeller: Clean parts; if required, replace parts or pump.
