MAINTENANCE
OPERATION
1.
See Figure 2 for pump plug-in instructions.
•
Automatic:
Plug the piggy-back plug of the float
switch into a 115 V grounded outlet. The use of a
GFCI is strongly recommended. Plug the pump plug
into the back of the piggy-back float switch plug.
•
Manual:
Plug the pump plug into a 115 V grounded
outlet. The use of a GFCI is strongly recommended.
2.
Test your installation by filling the basin with water. Observe the float switch through at least
one complete cycle to ensure it operates freely and does not contact the sides of the basin. If
necessary, adjust the float switch or reposition the pump to ensure proper operation.
3.
This pump is equipped with an anti-airlock hole. A stream of water will emit from this hole
when the pump is operating. This is a normal feature of this pump. The anti-airlock hole
should be cleaned periodically to prevent the pump from becoming air-locked.
4.
Do not let the pump run dry. The pump depends on water for cooling and lubrication.
Operating the pump without water may cause the motor to overheat or cause damage to
internal parts. It may also shorten the life of your pump.
5.
Your pump motor is thermally protected. It is not recommended for pumping liquids over
120°F (49°C). The thermal overload protector will automatically shut down the pump in an
overheat situation. The pump will reset itself once the pump cools down. This overload is
designed as a safety device and it will fail after repeated use. Normal operation is for fluids
between 32 and 120°F (0 and 49°C).
MAINTENANCE
1.
The pump motor is hermetically sealed in the housing and does not require any service.
Disassembly of the motor housing or modification of the power cord voids the warranty.
2.
Periodically check the sump basin for accumulation of mud, silt, sand and foreign objects. Clean
the basin as needed to prevent damage or clogging of the pump.
3.
Periodically check the removable intake screen for obstructions. Clean if necessary.
4.
Periodically inspect and clean the anti-airlock hole.
5.
Inspect the float switch for any accumulated debris that may inhibit it from operating properly.
Clean if necessary.
6.
Inspect the impeller for signs of wear and obstructions.
7.
Inspect the power cord for signs of damage or wear. Do not operate the pump if the cord is
damaged or worn.
8.
In applications where the pump may not activate for extended periods of time, it is recommended
to cycle the pump at least once per month to ensure the pumping system is working properly when
needed.
Risk of electric shock. Always disconnect the power supply before attempting
to install, service or perform maintenance on the pump.
All repairs must be made by an authorized service centre.
This submersible pump contains oil which may become pressurized and hot
under normal operating conditions – allow the pump to cool for 2–3 hours
before servicing.
