ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS-
Before servicing a pump, always shut off the main power breaker and then unplug the pump - making sure
you are wearing insulated protective sole shoes and not standing in water. Under flooded conditions, contact your local electric company or a qualified
licensed electrician for disconnecting electrical service prior to pump removal.
Submersible pumps contain oils which becomes pressurized and hot under operating conditions.
Allow 2-1/2 hours after disconnecting before
attempting service.
If the above checklist does not uncover the problem, consult the factory. Do not attempt to service or otherwise disassemble pump. Service must be performed by

CONDITION
COMMON CAUSES
A. Pump will not start or run.
Check fuse, low voltage, overload open, open or incorrect wiring, open switch, impeller or seal bound mechanically,
defective capacitor or relay when used, motor or wiring shorted. Float assembly held down. Switch defective,
damaged, or out of adjustment.
B. Motor overheats and trips overload or
blows fuse.
Incorrect voltage, negative head (discharge open lower than normal) impeller or seal bound mechanically, defective
capacitor or relay, motor shorted.
C. Pump starts and stops too often.
Float tight on rod, check valve stuck or none installed in long distance line, overload open, level switch(s) defective,
sump pit too small.
D. Pump will not shut off.
Debris under float assembly, float or float rod bound by pit sides or other, switch defective, damaged or out of adjustment.
E. Pump operates but delivers little or no
water.
Check strainer housing, discharge pipe, or if check valve is used vent hole must be clear. Discharge head exceeds
pump capacity. Low or incorrect voltage. Incorrect motor rotation. Capacitor defective. Incoming water containing
air or causing air to enter pumping chamber.
F. Drop in head and/or capacity after a
period of use.
Increased pipe friction, clogged line or check valve. Abrasive material and adverse chemicals could possibly
deteriorate impeller and pump housing. Check line. Remove base and inspect.
