Maintenance
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Unplug the Pump from its electrical outlet before performing any
inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedure.
TO AVOID SKIN BURNS: Allow time for the pump to cool after periods of extended use.
TO AVOID INJURY: Do not use pump if any part of the switch housing or
probe (inside switch housing) is cracked, broken or missing.
Maintenance
1. If the pump is moved during operation, flush
pump with clean water after every use.
2.
Quarterly
Perform at least once every 3 months under
optimal conditions. For frequent use or dirty
areas, more frequent maintenance is required.
a. Clean sludge and debris from
surface where pump is placed.
b. Clean sludge/debris from Debris
Strainer and Inlet Screen.
c. Flush discharge hose and make
sure it is free from leaks.
d. Make sure Check Valve is functioning properly.
e.
Lift Pump from 2″ or more of water to determine
that pump turns on/off as intended.
Note:
If the pump won’t stop, unplug the pump.
Remove the Debris Strainer and check
inside the sensor body. Remove any
trapped leaves, debris or dirt.
3.
When the temperature drops below freezing,
remove the pump from service and store indoors
to protect pump from ice damage.
The pump
has a protection circuit to protect the motor from a
locked impeller which can be caused by debris build
up or a frozen impeller. When the pump is activated
and the impeller is detected to be locked, the unit
will automatically shut down to protect the motor
from overheating. Once the pump is able to operate
correctly, the pump will resume normal operation.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Causes
Possible Solutions
Pump runs, but
delivers little
to no water.
1. Debris Strainer, Inlet Screen and/or
Impeller clogged.
2. Obstructed discharge hose.
3. Discharge height exceeds capability.
1. Remove Debris Strainer. Clean out dirt and
debris from Debris Strainer, inlet screen
and impeller. Replace Debris Strainer.
2. Check for kinks, reposition and straighten.
Flush any clogs with clean water.
3. Reduce discharge height.
Pump won’t
start or run.
1. Check power connections
and circuits/fuses.
2. Water level too low.
3. Defective motor.
1. Consult an electrician.
2.
Wait for water level to reach 2″
or move Pump to a lower location.
3. Have a qualified service technician repair or replace.
Pump won’t
turn off
1. Debris in switch
2. Discharge height exceeds capability.
1. Rinse switch with clean water.
2. Reduce discharge height.
Pump starts and
stops too often.
1. Back flow of water from hose.
2. Pump not sitting level.
3. Dirty switch.
1. Replace check valve. Move hose so output
runs downward, away from pump.
