7. Power Supply: The pump is designed for
115 V., 60 Hz., operation and requires a
minimum 15 amp individual branch circuit.
The pump is supplied with a 3-wire cord
set with grounding-type plug. Be sure it
is connected only to a properly grounded
grounding-type receptacle.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock,
burn or kill. The pump should always be
electrically grounded to a suitable electrical
ground such as a grounded water pipe or a
properly grounded metallic raceway, or
ground wire system. Do not modify the cord
or plug or cut off the round ground pin.
8. If pump discharge line is exposed to outside
sub-freezing atmosphere, portion of line
exposed must be installed so any water
remaining in pipe will drain to the outfall by
gravity. Failure to do this can cause water
trapped in discharge to freeze which could
result in damage to pump.
9. After piping, check valve and float switch
have been installed, the unit is ready for
operation.
10. Check the pump operation by filling sump
with water and observing pump operation
through one complete cycle.
Risk of Flooding. Failure to
make this operational check may lead to
improper operation, premature failure, and
flooding.
OPERATION
Risk of electrical shock. Can burn
or cause death. Do not handle a pump or
pump motor with wet hands or when standing
on wet or damp surface, or in water. Before
attempting to check why unit has stopped
operating, disconnect power from unit.
1. Shaft seal depends on water for
lubrication. Do not operate pump unless
it is submerged in water as seal may be
damaged if allowed to run dry.
2. Motor is equipped with automatic reset
thermal protector. If temperature in motor
should rise unduly, switch will cut off all
power before damage can be done to
motor. When motor has cooled sufficiently,
switch will reset automatically and restart
motor. If protector trips repeatedly, pump
should be removed and checked as to
cause of difficulty. Low voltage, long
extension cords, clogged impeller, very
low head or lift, or a plugged or frozen
discharge pipe, etc., could cause cycling.
3. Pump will not remove all water. If operating
a pump manually, and suddenly no water
comes out of the discharge hose, shut off
the unit immediately. The water level is
probably very low and the unit has broken
prime.
Risk of electric shock. Before
attempting to check why unit has stopped
operating, disconnect power from unit.
Airlock
When a pump airlocks, it runs but does not
move any water. An airlock will cause the pump
to overheat and fail. This pump has a built in
anti-airlock hole (see Repair Parts diagram).
Water leakage from the anti-airlock hole is
normal.
If you suspect an airlock, unplug the pump,
clean out the anti-airlock hole with a paper clip
or a piece of wire, and restart the pump.
