AIRLOCK
This pump is a centrifugal utility pump, designed to efficiently remove
water. However, it cannot move air. If air is trapped inside the
pump (a condition called"airlock"), the pump cannot pump water
out even though the pump is completely submerged. This pump
has two anti-airlock holes. Air flows out through the anti-airlock hole,
eliminating the airlock so that the pump can operate properly. If debris
blocks the anti-airlock hole, unplug the pump, clean out the anti-airlock
hole, and restart the pump. Alternately, drain the water out of the
garden hose, keep the end of the hose out of the water, and plugin
the power cord, restarting the pump.
CAUTION: This hole is for anti-airlock purposes. Leakage of air or
water is NORMAL.
DO NOT BLOCK THIS HOLE!
CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION: Always use the handle to lift the pump. Never use the power cord to lift the pump. To avoid skin burns,
unplug the pump and allow time for it to cool after periods of extended use.
Do
When the power is disconnected, inspect the
pump suction screen and remove all debris, then
plug the pump back into the grounded (GFCI)
