NOTE: If the overload protector stops the
pump repeatedly, disconnect the power from
the pump and check it to find the problem.
Low voltage, a clogged impeller, too much
back pressure in the discharge hose (as when
pumping through 50 ft. of coiled hose), or
extended running of pump with no load can all
cause overheating.
2. Pumped water cools the motor, allowing the
pump to run continuously at any depth of water
above 1/4 in. However, if the motor overload
stops the pump, allow it to cool for one hour
before restarting. The motor will not restart
before the overload has cooled.
Locked rotor
1. If pump tries to start and senses the rotor is
locked, it will shut off, wait 2-1/2 minutes, and
try to restart.
2. If the rotor has unlocked, the pump will resume
normal operation. If the rotor is still locked,
the pump will shut off again and wait through
another 2-1/2 minute cycle.
3. After 2-1/2 minutes, the pump will again try
to restart. If the rotor has unlocked, the pump
will resume normal operation. If the rotor is
still locked, the pump will shut off and will not
restart automatically.
4. To restart the pump manually, unplug it and plug
it in again.
risk of electric shock. Can shock,
burn or kill. Disconnect the pump from the
power source before disassembling the pump
or cleaning out the impeller.
5. If the rotor is still locked, unplug the pump,
remove the base (G), shield (E), and
screen (F), and clean out the impeller (C).
See Figure 6. Note the pump will not operate
properly if parts are not correctly reinstalled.
6. Once pump is reassembled, reset it on the pool
cover and plug it in again to resume normal
operation.
