The automatic thermal overload protection shuts the motor off when it overheats
because of low voltage, trash in the pump or other problems. Normally, motor cools
in 10 minutes and restarts automatically.
If this pump is used for pumping mildly abrasive liquids like lake water, keep hose
inlet above mud and sand. All severely abrasive liquids will wear the pump quickly
and void warranty.
This pump will handle most common waterlike liquids (water, brines, light lube oil, etc.) at
temperatures of 0°F to 120°F (-18°C to 50°C). Thick liquids, fuels (gasoline etc.) or other
flammable liquids, solvents, thinners and strong acids are totally prohibited.
Never operate the pump against a closed or clogged discharge.
Use 1/2'' (13mm) minimum pipe. Note that the best performance occurs when the
suction line is as short and direct as possible. For any lines of 40' or longer, install a
3/4'' (19mm) pipe size.
After few months of inactivity, the impeller may get bone dry. If this happens, replace
the impeller.
The motor is drop-proof but not waterproof.
Motor brushes should be replaced every 300 hours of use. Remove brush cap to
replace brush only.
Never add oil to motor or brushes.
This unit will prime to 10 feet if you follow these instructions. Drop 1 tablespoon of
vegetable oil into pump inlet and outlet before each use. Add water to suction pipe and
install a foot valve to make easier priming. For a succion from 10' to 20' depth, a foot
valve is mandatory and the suction line must be filled before pump start. If the pump
does not prime within one (1) minute, unplug from receptacle and perform next steps :
Air leaks in suction pipe. For a garden hose, be sure fittings are tight and rubber
washers are in good condition. For other pipe types, use teflon tape on all threads.
Verify foot valve action.
Verify for collapsed suction hose or plugged suction line.
Verify for liquid supply too far away or too far below pump (more than 20 feet).
Worn out or damaged impeller.
Severe abrasive wear of volute plate or pump body. Remove pump cover to access
these parts. Proceed carefully to avoid damaging the ''0'' ring.
