water.
If a flexible discharge hose is used, make sure the pump is secured to prevent movement.
Failure to secure the pump could result in pump malfunction.
This pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart
unexpectedly.
When a pump is in its application, do not touch the motor, pipes, or water until the unit is
unplugged or electrically disconnected.

120° F (49° C). The thermal overload protector will automatically shut down the pump in an
overheat situation. The pump will reset itself once the pump cools down. This overload is designed as a safety
device and it will fail after repeated use. Normal operation is for fluids between 34° F & 120° F.
All repairs must be made by an authorized service center.
The pump motor is hermetically sealed in the housing and does not require any service.
