Use and Care Manual

6
10. Check the pump operation by filling the sump with water and observing pump operation through one complete
cycle.
CAUTION ： Risk of flooding. Can cause personal injury and/or property damage. Failure to make this
operational check may lead to improper operation, premature failure, and flooding.
OPERATION
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill. Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or
when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.
1. The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do not operate the pump unless it is submerged in water as
the seal may be damaged if allowed to run dry.
2. The motor is equipped with an automatic reset thermal protector. If temperature in the motor should rise unduly,
the switch will cut off all power before damage can be done to the motor. When the motor has cooled
sufficiently, the switch will reset automatically and restart the motor. If the protector trips repeatedly, the pump
should be removed and checked. Low voltage, long extension cords, clogged impeller, very low head or lift, or
a plugged or frozen discharge pipe, etc., could cause the protector to trip.
3. The 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.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill. Before attempting to
check why the unit has stopped operating, disconnect power from the unit.
CAUTION: Do Not Change the preset tether length.
CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION: Always use the handle to lift the pump. Never use the power cord to lift the pump. To avoid skin burns,
unplug the pump and allow time for it to cool after periods of extended use.
Do Do Not

When the power is disconnected, inspect the
pump suction screen and remove all debris,
then plug the pump back into the grounded
(GFCI) outlet.

Do not disassemble the motor housing. This motor
has NO repairable internal parts, and disassembly
may cause leakage or dangerous electrical wiring
issues.
 Do not lift up the pump by the power cord.
