INLET SCREEN/
BASE
PRIMING HOLE
WHEN REATTACHING THE BASE (INLET SCREEN), BE SURE THAT THE FOUR (4) "PLUGGED" SCREENS ARE ORIENTED BELOW THE SWITCH.
Figure 2 - Priming Hole Location
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
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.

Troubleshooting
Chart
Symptom | Possible Cause(s) | |
Pump will not | 1. Tripped home electrical breaker | |
start or run | 2. GFCI tripped | |
| 3. | Low line voltage |
| 4. | Defective motor |
| 5. | Dirty switch |
| 6. | Impeller obstructed |
| 7. | Inlet screen clogged |
| 8. | Priming hole plugged |
Pump starts and | 1. Backflow of water from piping | |
stops too often | 2. Dirty switch | |
| 3. | Priming hole plugged |
Electrocution Hazard! Pump starts automatically. Disconnect the power before attempting any repairs. Failure to follow will result in serious injury or death.
Corrective Action
1. Reset breaker
2.Check for damaged wiring or moisture
3.If voltage is under 108 volts, check wiring size
4.Replace pump
5.Rinse out switch with clean water (Figure 3 on page 3)
6.Remove base and impeller plate (Figure 2 on page 3) check for debris; clean
7.Clean inlet screen (Figure 2 on page 3)
8.Clean hole, inside volute housing, with a pin or paper clip (Figure 2 on page 3)
1.Install or replace check valve [Sold Separately: CAT No. 40138]
2.Rinse out switch with clean water (Figure 3 on page 3)
3.Clean hole, inside volute housing, with a pin or paper clip (Figure 2 on page 3)
