Installation (continued)
8. If the pump discharge line is exposed to outside subfreezing atmosphere, a portion of line exposed must be installed so any water
remaining in the pipe will drain to the outfall by gravity. Failure to do this can cause water trapped in the discharge to freeze which could
result in damage to the pump.
9. After the piping and check valve have been installed, the unit is ready for operation.
10. Check the pump operation by filling the sump with water and observing pump operation through one complete cycle.
CAUTION
: Risk of flooding. Can cause personal injury and/or property damage. Failure to make this operational check may
lead to improper operation, premature failure, and flooding.

Operation
WARNING
:
Risk of electric shock
.
Can shock, burn or kill. Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.
1. The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do not operate the pump unless it is submerged in water as the seal may be damaged
if allowed to run dry.
2. The motor is equipped with an automatic reset thermal protector. If temperature in the motor should rise unduly, the switch will cut off
all power before damage can be done to the motor. When the motor has cooled sufficiently, the switch will reset automatically and restart
the motor. If the protector trips repeatedly, the pump should be removed and checked. Low voltage, long extension cords, clogged
impeller, very low head or lift, or a plugged or frozen discharge pipe, etc., could cause the protector to trip.
3. The 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.
WARNING
:
Risk of electric shock
.
Can shock, burn or kill. Before attempting to check why the unit has stopped operating,
disconnect power from the unit.
