Operation
1. The shaft seal depends on water for
lubrication. Do not operate the pump unless
it is submerged in water; running it dry may
damage the seal.
2. If the pump overheats, an automatic-reset
thermal protector cuts off the power and stops
the motor before it can be damaged. The
motor will automatically restart when it cools.
If the protector trips repeatedly, unplug the
pump, remove it from the sump, and check

actually lifts water. The higher the lift, the lower

it for the cause of the difficulty. Low voltage,
long extension cords, clogged impeller, very
low lift, a plugged or frozen discharge pipe,
etc., can all cause cycling and overheating.
3. This pump will not remove all the water in the
sump (see off switch setting, below). If you are
running the pump manually and water stops
coming out of the discharge, the pump has
probably run dry. Shut it off immediately and
check the water level.

NOTICE The friction caused by water running
through the pipe will also, on longer pipe runs,
reduce the flow. Pipe smaller than the pump
discharge also reduces flow.
