NOTICE: If the overload protector stops the pump repeatedly, dis-
connect the power from the pump and check it to find the problem.
Low voltage, long extension cords, clogged impeller, too much
back pressure in the discharge hose (as when pumping through
50’ (15 M) of coiled hose), or running pump with no load, can all
cause excessive cycling and overheating.
5. For Model FP0S1300X, the water being pumped cools the motor,
allowing the pump to run continuously at any depth of water above
3/16”. However, if the motor overload stops the pump, allow it to
cool for one hour before restarting. Motor will not restart before
the overload has cooled.
6. For Models FP0S1100X and FP0S1250X, do not try to run the
pump continuously when the water level is below 4” (102mm) or
about 1/3 of the way up the motor casing, as it will overheat. If the
motor overheats and the overload stops the pump, allow it to cool
for one hour before restarting. Motor will not restart before the
overload has cooled.
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 suspect an airlock, unplug
the pump, clean out the anti-airlock hole with a paper clip or piece of
wire, and restart the pump.
IMPORTANT: This hole allows the pump to start priming within 15 sec-
onds 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.

SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) CORRECTIVE ACTION
Pump won’t Blown fuse If blown, replace with fuse of proper size
start or run
Low line voltage If voltage under recommended minimum, check size of wiring
from main switch on property. If OK, contact power company.
Defective motor Replace pump
Impeller If impeller won’t turn, for models FP0S1100X and FP0S1250X,
remove housing; for model FP0S1300X, remove screen.
Locate source of binding
Pump operates but Low line voltage Use only 14 gauge or larger extension cords. Use short extension cords
delivers little or when necessary
no water
Something caught in impeller Clean out impeller
Small diameter garden hose Use larger diameter garden hose or 1” flexible pipe. Eliminate any
or long discharge line excess hose. Short hoses work best
Check valve installed without Drill a 1/16" - 1/8" (1.6 - 3.2 mm) dia. hole between pump
vent hole discharge & check valve
Air lock Turn off pump for a few seconds, clean out anti-airlock hole and restart pump
Coils or bends in hose Straighten hose
