TROUBLESHOOTING WARNINGS
LET PUMP COOL FOR A MINIMUM OF 2 HOURS BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE.
Submersible pumps contain oil that
become pressurized and hot under normal operating conditions.
LAISSER REFROIDIR LA POMPE PENDANT AU MOINS 2 HEURES
AVANT D’ESSAYER DE LA RÉPARER.
Les pompes submersibles
contiennent de l’huile qui devient pressurisée et chaude dans des
conditions normales de fonctionnement.
1. Submersible pump models have permanently lubricated
bearings and require no additional lubrication.
2. Submersible pump contains dielectric oil for cooling.
Dielectric oil can be harmful to the environment. Follow
state environmental laws when disposing of pump.
3. The AC pump motor is equipped with automatic resetting
thermal protector and may restart unexpectedly. Protector
tripping is an indication of motor overloading as a result of
operating the pump at low heads, excessively high or low
voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor conditions, or at
the end of its life.
AC ROUTINE SUMP MAINTENANCE
The pump system should be inspected 3-4 times per year for
movement or buildup of debris on the switch or float. Reposi-
tion system if it has moved. Remove any debris that could
interfere with the operation of the switches. Lack of proper
routine maintenance will void warranty.
• Make sure the system is plugged in to a working ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet and the cord is in good shape.
In damp areas, GFCI breakers may trip, effectively shutting off
the sump pump. Check in on your sump pump and reset the
GFCI if necessary. Replace pump if GFCI continues to trip.
• Ensure the system is upright. Vibrations during operation can
cause it to fall or tilt onto one side. This can jam the float so it
can’t activate the pump.
• Pour a bucket of water into the pit to make sure the AC
pump starts automatically and the water drains quickly once
the pump is on. If the pump doesn’t start, have it serviced or
replaced.
• Check the inlet screen and clear away any small stones or
debris.
