Automatic Thermal Overload Protection
This pump motor has a built-in automatic thermal over-
load protector. If the motor overheats, the protector will
open and cut off power to the motor before the heat
damages it internally. The overload will reset automa-
tically and the pump will restart after the pump cools
down below the danger point.
DO NOT attempt to work on the pump or
motor if the overload seems to have tripped. The motor
may restart without warning at any time. You could be
injured and the pump damaged if it starts when you are
working on it.
DO NOT attempt to repair a non-operational sump pump.
Take it to Sears for service by a qualified technician.

SERVICE
General
Risk of electric shock. When servicing pump
always disconnect power to electrical outlet and remove
pump electric cord from outlet.
1. If pump does not operate:
a. Check for loose plug at electric outlet.
b. Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers at
fuse box/circuit breaker box.
c. Be sure nothing interferes with action of float
switch.
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 is 18' (5.5M) or less.
d. Be sure discharge pipe is not plugged or frozen.
