Risk of sudden starts. Can result in an electri- cal shock and pinching of hands or fingers. If the power is on to the pump when the thermal overload resets, the pump may start without warning. Disconnect the power before servicing the pump.

A. Pump fails to operate:

1. Check to be sure that power cord is securely plugged into outlet. Disconnect power to

 

 

outlet before handling pump or motor.

 

2.

Check to be sure you have electrical power.

 

3.

Check that liquid fluid level is high enough to activate switch or controller.

 

4.

Check to be sure that 3/16" (4.7 mm) vent hole in discharge pipe is not plugged.

 

5.

Check for blockage in pump inlet, impeller, check valve or discharge pipe.

 

6.

Thermal overload may have tripped. Test start pump; if it starts and then stops immedi-

 

 

ately, disconnect from power source for 30 minutes to allow motor to cool, then

 

 

reconnect to power source. Check for cause of overheating/overloading.

 

 

 

B. Pump fails to empty sump:

1.

Be sure all valves in discharge valve are fully open.

 

2.
