Operation
1. After reading these instructions,
consider the following points
before starting the pump:
a. Verify that the pump rests on the floor of the shaft,
if it is not suspended by the handle.
b. Verify that the delivery pipe is properly connected.
c. Verify that the electrical connection
is 110-120 V~, 60 Hz.
d. Verify that the electrical socket
is in good condition.
e. Verify that water and moisture cannot get near the
power supply socket or power cord connection.
2. Snap the cord for the Float Switch into the cable Clip
on the side of the handle. Once the cord is snapped
into place, adjust the level that the Pump turns on
by adjusting the length of the Float Switch’s cord.
3. The Float Switch will automatically turn off the Pump
when the level of water drops below the Switch.
4. Verify that the pump is installed so as
to prevent running dry.
NOTE: The float must be allowed to move freely
and must shut off the Pump before it runs dry.
5. CAUTION: Do not run the Pump dry. Doing
so will increase wear on the unit and lead to
Seal damage. Water must be deeper than the
minimum water level (shown on specifications
chart) for the Pump to operate properly.
6. NOTE: The Pump has a built-in thermal protector for
the motor, which automatically shuts it off to avoid
overheating. After it cools, it will cycle back on.
Wait for the cycle to continue-do not try to
manually turn on Pump after it has cut off.
7. Plug power cord into an outlet fitted with a GFCI.
8. Verify that the discharge water travels
several feet from the foundation.
9. NOTE: It is normal for air bubbles from trapped air
to appear around the handle or pressure Switch.
The pump is equipped with a de-aerating device
with removes air locked in the Pump. Also, if the
water level drops below the vent valve, some
water might purge from Pump via the vent valve.
