MAINTENANCE
To prevent airlocking, make sure air bleed hole is not plugged. To clear it, un-
plug pump and clean hole with a short piece of wire.
Risk of electrical shock if motor is incorrectly assembled. Do
not have it repaired locally. Do not attempt to replace cord.
Motor is not designed for field maintenance. It is filled with special
dielectric oil and sealed. Attempting to open or work on motor can cause
shock hazard and will void warranty.
If motor needs repair, call Sta-Rite Customer Service at 1-800-752-0183.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1.
Motor fails to run
A. Check fuses, etc. to be sure there is current at outlet.
B. Check GFCI in outlet for tripping. GFCI protects against dangerous
current leaks to ground. If GFCI has tripped and will not reset, DO
NOT USE PUMP until problem is repaired.
C. If motor runs for a short time and cuts out:
1. Turn power to pump OFF; unplug pump.
2. Remove base plate and check to see that impeller turns freely.
3. If pump still does not operate after this preliminary check, take it to
a qualified motor repair facility.
