Installation • Operation
Operation
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. Shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do not
operate the pump unless it is 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 the 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, remove the pump and check it as to
the cause of difficulty. Low voltage, long extension
cords, clogged impeller, very low head or lift, etc.,
could cause cycling.
3. The pump will not remove all water. If the pump is
operating 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 must
flow through pump to prevent motor overheating.
The pump is cooled by the water flow through
the housing.
4. This pump is designed to pump cold water only.
Pumping heated liquids can overheat the motor and
cause the thermal overload to trip.
5. Pump can run in water that doesn't completely cover
the motor housing, but the inlet must be completely
submerged or it will break suction and will not move
any water.
6. Keep the inlet screen clean at all times. If the bottom
surface of the pond or waterfall is dirty, raise the
pump slightly to reduce the amount of debris pulled
into the pump inlet.
7. If you need to reduce the flow, restrict the discharge.
Do not restrict the intake. Doing so will starve the
pump for water and can cause overheating.
Maintenance
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. Disconnect the power before servicing, repairing, or
working on pump.
The pump's motor is completely sealed in the motor
housing and does not require any service. Disassembly
of the motor housing or modification or removal of
the power cord voids the warranty. The power cord is
not replaceable.
Never run the pump dry! Running the pump dry can
damage the seal, causing leakage. This pump is a
submersible type and must be in water at all times for
proper operation and cooling.
Periodically clean the suction screen. Make sure that
impeller rotation is not being hampered by any debris.
