Operation
Risk of electric shock. Do not handle
a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.
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.
NOTICE: For continuous operation, water
depth must be at least 5" (127mm) to prevent
the motor from overheating. A fully submerged
pump is preferred for proper cooling when a
pump runs continuously.

attempting to check why unit has stopped
