3. Testing for Ground. As a safety measure, each electrical outlet should
be checked for ground using an Underwriters Laboratory Listed circuit
analyzer which will indicate if the power, neutral and ground wires are
correctly connected to your outlet. If they are not, call a qualified elec-
trician.

are supplied with a 3-prong grounded plug to help protect you against
the possibility of electrical shock. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUM-
STANCES,REMOVETHE GROUNDPIN. Toreducetheriskofelectri-
cal shock, a properly grounded receptacle of grounding type must be
installed and protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in
accordance with national electrical code and local codes.

ing sure you are not standing in water and wearing insulated protective sole shoes. Under flooded conditions, contact your local electric company or a
qualified licensed electrician for disconnecting electrical service prior to pump removal.
Submersible pumps can become pressurized under normal operating conditions — allow 2½ hours after disconnecting before attempting
service.
CONDITION COMMON CAUSES
A. Pump will not start or run.
Check fuse, low voltage, overload open, open or incorrect wiring, open switch, impeller or seal bound mechanically, defec-
tive capacitor or relay when used, motor or wiring shorted. Float assembly held down. Switch defective, damaged, or out
of adjustment.
B. Motor overheats and trips over-
load or blows fuse.
Incorrectvoltage,negativehead(dischargeopenlowerthannormal)impellerorsealboundmechanically,defectivecapacitor

D. Pump will not shut off. Debrisunder float assembly,floator float rodbound by basin sidesor other, switch defective,damaged or out ofadjustment.
E. Pump operates but delivers little
or no water.
Check strainer housing, discharge pipe, or if check valve is used, the vent hole must be clear. Discharge head exceeds
pump capacity. Low or incorrect voltage. Incorrect motor rotation. Capacitor defective. Incoming water containing air or
causing air to enter pumping chamber.
F. Drop in head and/or capacity
after a period of use.
Increased pipe friction, clogged line or check valve. Abrasive material and adverse chemicals could possibly deteriorate
impeller and pump housing. Check line. Remove base and inspect.
G. If tank or fittings leak.
Carefullytightenpipe joints(usepipe dope)andscrews. Checkgasket location, tightenlid evenly.Donotover tightenfittings

minutes to enable the environmentally safe peanuts to begin
dissolving.
3. Slowly fill the basin with water.
4. Check all plumbing for leaks as the basin fills.
5. Verify that the pump starts and stops.
6. Check the discharge line for leaks as the pump empties
the basin.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 as necessary to ensure proper
operation.
8. If problems persist, refer to the troubleshooting guide
located on page 2 of this manual.
