OPERATION
[ A'WARNING] Risk of electric shock. Do not handle pump or
pump motor with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp
surface, or in water.
1. Shaft seal depends on water for lubrication.
Do not operate
pomp unless it is in at least 1/2" (12.7mm) of water as seal
may be damaged if allowed to run dry.
2. Motor is equipped with automatic reset thermal protector. If
temperature in motor should rise unduly, switch will cut off
all power before damage can be done to motor. When
motor has cooled sufficiently, switch will reset automatically
and restart motor. If protector trips repeatedly, pump should
be checked as to cause of difficulty.
Low voltage, long
extension cords, clogged impeller, very low head or lift, etc.,
could cause cycling.
3. Pump will pump water down to 3/16" (4.75mm); this means
that it will not remove all water. If unit has been operating
and suddenly no water comes out of discharge hose, shut off
unit immediately. Water level is probably very low and unit
has broken prime.
Use mop
or squeegee to remove
remaining water.
[ _'WARNING]
Risk of electric shock. Before attempting to
check why unit has stopped operating, disconnect power
from unit. Do not handle pump with wet hands or when
standing on wet or damp surfaces, or in water. Failure to
follow precaution
can result
in personal injury and/or
property damage.
Airlocks
When a pump airlocks, it runs but does not move any water. An
airlock will cause the pump to overheat and fail. This pump has
an anti-airlock hole in the bottom of the pump body. If you
suspectan airlock, unplug the pump, clean out the anti-airlock
hole with a paper clip or piece of wire, and restart pump.
IMPORTANT: This hole allows the pump to start priming within
15 seconds in as little as 1/2" of water. NEVER restart pump in
less than 1/2" of water. Leakage from the anti-airlock hole is
normal.
MAINTENANCE
Make certain that the pump is unplugged before attempting to
service or remove any componenL
1. The motor in the unit is sealed in oil. No additional
lubrication is necessary.
2. IMPORTANT: Disassembly of the motor assembly will void
the warranty.
It might also cause internal leakage and
damage to the unit. If repairs are required, return the pump
to the dealer from whom it was purchased.
3. Inlet screen should be kept clean and free of all foreign
objects.
Pump Cleaning
NOTICE:
Attempting
to disassemble
motor will void the
warranty.
1. Disconnect power cord from electrical outlet before working
on pump. The volute screen and shield may be removed to
replace impeller or clean pump of mud or debris.
SERVICE
General
[_'WARNING]Risk
of electric shock. When servicing pump
always disconnect power to electrical outlet and remove pump
electric cord from outlet.
1. If pump does not operate:
a. Check for loose plug at electric outlet.
b. Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers at fuse
box/circuit breaker box.
c. If a and b above check OK, plug in a light that you know
works. If it lights, take your pump to Sears for service. If
it doesn't light, the electrical circuit is faulty; consult a
licensed electrician.
2. Pump starts, but blows fuses/tripscircuit breakers:
After disconnecting power to pump, remove the screen and
shield from the bottom of the pump and make sure that the
impeller
turns freely.
Remove any debris obstructing
impeller. If pump still does not operate correctly, return it to
your nearest SearsService Department for repairs.
3. Pump runs, but does not empty sump:
a. Clean pump intake screen.
b. Water may be entering sump faster than the pump can
discharge it.
c. Be sure vertical distance from pump discharge outlet to
discharge pipe outlet is 15 feet (4.5M) or less.
d. Be sure discharge pipe is not plugged or frozen.
e. Turn off pump for a few seconds, clean out anti-airlock
hole and restart pump.
