OPERATION
PRIMING/OPERATION
NOTICE:
Do not run pump dry. Running pump without
water can damage impeller and may damage seal, causing
leaking or flooding, and will void warranty.
All suction connections must be airtight. Make sure suction
lift is not more than 20 feet (6.1M). Fill pump body through
priming port before starting pump. Start pump; it should
pump water in under 10 minutes (depending on length of
suction hose and height of pump above water).
LUBRICATION
Motor is lubricated at factory for life of bearings. Pump seal
is water cooled and self lubricating.
PUMP SERVICE
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or-
cause death. Disconnect motor from elec-
trical power before servicing pump.
Motor has auto-reset thermal overload. If motor overheats,
overload will cut off power to prevent damage and will reset
after motor cools. If overload trips repeatedly, check pump
for cause (low voltage, clogged impeller, etc.).
