Maintenance

Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or

kill. Disconnect the power before servicing, repairing, or

working on pump.

The pump’s motor is completely sealed in the motor

housing and does not require any service. Disassembly

of the motor housing or modification or removal of

the power cord voids the warranty. The power cord is

notreplaceable.

Never run the pump dry! Running the pump dry can

damage the seal, causing leakage. This pump is a

submersible type and must be in water at all times for

proper operation and cooling.

Periodically clean the suction screen. Make sure that

impeller rotation is not being hampered by any debris.

Thank you for purchasing
