OPERATION
Risk of electric shock. Do not
handle a pump or pump motor
with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp
surface, or in water.
1. Shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do
not operate pump unless it is submerged in
water as seal may be damaged if allowed to run
dry.
2. Motor is equipped with automatic reset thermal
protector. If temperature in motor should rise
unduly, switch will cut off all power before dam-
age can be done to motor. When motor has
cooled sufficiently, switch will reset automatically
and restart motor. If protector trips repeatedly,
pump should be removed and checked as to
cause of difficulty. Low voltage, long extension
cords, clogged impeller, very low head or lift, or
a plugged or frozen discharge pipe, etc., could
cause cycling.
3. Pump will not remove all water. If operating a
pump manually, and suddenly no water comes
out of the discharge hose, shut off the unit
immediately. The water level is probably very low
and the unit has broken prime.
Risk of electric shock. Before
attempting to check why unit
has stopped operating, disconnect power from
unit.
