9. When temperatures drop below freezing remove pump from service and store indoors to protect pump from damage
due to ice. The pump has a unique protection circuit to protect the motor from a locked impeller condition possibly
caused by debris buildup or from a "frozen" impeller situation caused by ice formation. When the pump is activated
and a locked impeller condition is detected the unit will automatically shutdown to protect the motor from overheating.
Once the pump is able to operate correctly the pump will resume normal operation.
DANGER
: Do not use pump if any part of the switch housing or probe is cracked, broken or missing.
PUMPING HEIGHT
When water is pumped to an elevated position, any volume that has not reached the discharge outlet can flow back
through the pump when the pump shuts off. This back-flow can cause the water level in small areas to rise enough to
re-start the pump. The check valve included is required in this situation. For proper operation, make certain the check
valve is oriented as instructed on check valve body.
