Operation / Service | 4 |
For automatic operation, plug or wire pump into an auto- matic float switch or pump controller. Pump will run con- tinuously when plugged directly into an electrical outlet.
Connect or wire pump to its own individual branch circuit with no other outlets or equipment in the circuit. Size fuses or circuit breakers according to chart on Page 2.
Risk of electrical shock and fire. Can burn or cause death. Be sure that power supply information (Voltage/Hertz/Phase) on pump motor nameplate matches incoming power supply exactly. Install pump according to all electrical codes that apply.
OPERATION
NOTICE: Do not allow pump to run in a dry sump. It will void the warranty and may damage the pump.
An automatic overload protector in the motor will pro- tect motor from burning out due to overheating/overload- ing. When motor cools down, overload protector will automatically reset and start motor.
If overload trips frequently, check for cause. It could be a stuck impeller, wrong/low voltage, or electrical failure in motor. If an electrical failure in the motor is suspected, have it serviced by a competent repairman.
Pump is permanently lubricated. No oiling or greasing is required.
SERVICE
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or cause death. Before removing pump from basin for ser- vice, always disconnect electrical power to pump and control switch.
Risk of electrical shock. Can burn or kill. Do not lift pump by power cord. See “Cord Lift Warning” below.
Submerge pump in a disinfectant solution (chlorox or chlorine) for at least one hour before disassembling pump.
The pump motor contains a special lubricating oil which should be kept clean and free of water at all times.
Check operation by filling sump with water and observ- ing pump operation through one complete cycle.
Risk of flooding. May cause personal injury or property damage. Failure to make this operational check may lead to flooding and premature failure.
NOTICE: This unit is not designed for applications involving salt water or brine! Use with salt water or brine will void warranty.
