Airlock
This pump is a centrifugal utility pump, designed to efficiently remove water. However, it cannot move air. If air is trapped inside the pump
(a condition called “airlock”), the pump cannot pump water out even though the pump is completely submerged. This pump has an airlock
hole. Air flows out through the anti-airlock hole, eliminating the airlock so that the pump can operate properly. If debris blocks the
anti-airlock hole, unplug the pump, reinstall the pump, and restart the pump.
If the pump is suddenly dropped into water, it might take a couple minutes to squeeze air out through the anti-airlock hole.
Alternately, drain the water out of the garden hose, keep the end of the hose out of the water, and plug in the power cord, restarting the
pump.
Care and Cleaning
CAUTION:
Always use the handle to lift the pump. Never use the power cord to lift the pump. To avoid skin burns, unplug
the pump and allow time for it to cool after periods of extended use.
