General
Risk of electric shock. When servicing
pump always disconnect power to electrical outlet
and remove pump electric cord from outlet.
1. If pump does not operate:
a. Check for loose plug at electric outlet.
b. Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers at
fuse box/circuit breaker box.
c. If a and b above check OK, plug in a light that you
know works. If it lights, take your pump to Sears
for service. If it doesn’t light, the electrical circuit is
faulty; consult a licensed electrician.

After disconnecting power to pump, remove the
screen and shield from the bottom of the pump and
make sure that the impeller turns freely. Remove any
debris obstructing impeller. If pump still does not
operate correctly, return it to your nearest Sears Service
Department for repairs.

can discharge it.

to discharge pipe outlet is 22-1/2 feet (6.9M) or less.
