7.If pump runs continuously, unplug the unit. Once unplugged, check for debris stuck inside the sensor body (Figure 3). Remove any trapped leaves, debris or dirt.

8.If the pump cycles on and off too often the electronic switch may need cleaning. Unplug the pump and turn upside down. The sensor probe will be visible inside the switch housing. Clean inside the housing gently scrubbing with a small brush using soapy water.

Do not use pump if any part of the switch housing or probe is cracked, broken or missing.

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.

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

cycle continuously and potentially wear out the pump components.
