lubrication. Do not operate the pump unless
it is submerged in water; running it dry may
damage the seal.
2. If the pump overheats, an automatic-reset
thermal protector cuts off the power and stops
the motor before it can be damaged. The motor
will automatically restart when it cools. If the
protector trips repeatedly, unplug the pump,
remove it from the sump, and check it for

sump. If you are running the pump manually
and water stops coming out of the discharge,
the pump has probably run dry. Shut it off
immediately and check the water level.

Li� is the vertical distance the pump
actually li�s water. The higher the lift, the
lower
the
flow.
NOTICE The friction caused by water running
through the pipe will also, on longer pipe runs,
reduce the flow.
