d. If a, b, and c above check OK, plug in a light that

you know works. If it lights, take your pump to
Sears for service. If it doesn’t light, the electrical
circuit is faulty; consult a licensed electrician.

2. Pump starts, but blows fuses/trips circuit breakers:

After disconnecting power to pump, remove it from
sump. Remove the plate from the bottom of the pump
and make sure that the impeller turns freely. Remove
any debris obstructing impeller. If pump still does not
operate correctly, return it to your nearest Sears
Service Department for repairs.

3. Pump runs, but does not empty sump:

a. Clean pump intake screen.
b. Water may be entering sump faster than the pump

can discharge it.

c. Be sure vertical distance from pump discharge

outlet to discharge pipe outlet does not exceed
specifications. See chart below. 

d. Be sure discharge pipe is not plugged or frozen.
e. Be sure check valve is operating correctly.

Risk of electric shock. Unplug pump before

attempting to service or remove any component.

1. The motor in the unit is sealed in oil. No additional

lubrication is necessary.

2. NOTICE: Disassembly of the motor assembly will void

warranty. It might also cause internal leakage and
damage to the unit. If motor fails, replace entire pump.

3. Keep inlet screen clean and free of all foreign objects.

Pump Cleaning

1. NOTICE:  Attempting to disassemble motor will void

warranty.

2. To clean impeller, remove eight screws holding

baseplate to motor assembly. Clean/replace impeller as
necessary. To remove impeller, unscrew it from motor
shaft.

3. Re-install baseplate and screws.

Switch Replacement

1. Remove pump power cord from switch plug.
2. Remove tether clamp screw and slide cord out of

clamp.

3. Insert new switch cord in clamp. Distance from clamp

to float should be the same as original installation.
(See Figure 3, Page 4).

4. Tighten tether clamp screw.

NOTICE:  Make sure switch can swing through its
entire arc without interference from sump, plumbing,
or any other object.

5. Check operation by filling sump with water and

running pump through one complete cycle.

Failure to make this operational check

may lead to improper operation, premature pump
failure and flooding.
