Water Ace R25SP-01 Notice D'utilisation page 4

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or
cause death. Pump is supplied with a grounding conductor
and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a
properly grounded, grounding type receptacle such as a
grounded water pipe or a properly grounded metallic race-
way or ground wire system. Ground terminal on pump cord
plug is provided for your protection. DO NOT REMOVE!
A ground fault circuit interrupter is recommended for use
with any electrical appliance submerged in water. For
installation of such a circuit, consult a licensed electrician.
6. After the piping and the check valve (if needed) have
been installed, the unit is ready for operation
7. Check the operation by filling the sump with water and
observing pump operation through one complete cycle.
Risk of flooding. Can cause personal
injury and/or property damage. Failure to make this oper-
ational check may lead to flooding and premature failure.
OPERATION
Risk of electric shock. Shock can burn or kill.
Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.
1. Keep the pump inlet screen clear.
2. The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do not
operate the pump unless it is submerged in water as the
seal may be damaged if the pump is allowed to run dry.
3. The motor is equipped with an automatic reset thermal
protector. If the temperature in the motor should rise
unduly, the switch will cut off all of the power before any
damage can be done to the motor. When the motor has
cooled sufficiently, the switch will reset automatically and
restart the motor. If the protector trips repeatedly, the
pump should be removed and checked for the cause of the
difficulty. Low voltage, long extension cords, a clogged
impeller, very low head or lift, etc., could cause cycling.
Refer to the Troubleshooting Chart on Page 5 for addition-
al information.
4. Periodically inspect the pump, system components and
sump for debris and foreign objects. Keep the sump free of
all refuse. Perform routine maintenance as required.
Risk of flooding. Flooding can cause personal
injury or property damage. This pump comes with the auto-
matic float switch mounted on the motor cover ready for oper-
ation. Do not change switch settings. Refer to the "Motor,
Switch & Cord Specifications" chart for switch settings.
MAINTENANCE
To Clean the Pump Screen:
NOTICE: Attempting to disassemble motor will void warranty.
Risk of electrical shock. Shock can burn or
kill. Always unplug the pump from the power source before
servicing any system component. Do not lift pump by power
cord.
WA860
1. Disconnect power before servicing.
Risk of Electric shock. Shock can burn or
cause death. When servicing the system always disconnect
power cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Loosen the discharge pipe.
3. Use the pump handle to lift the pump out of the sump pit
and place the pump on a clean level surface.
4. To clean the screen, use screwdriver to snap the screen out
(See Figure 1), remove and rinse off the screen.
Figure 1:To clean the screen and anti-airlock valve.
5. Re-install the screen. Be sure all the snaps catch.
6. Put the pump back into the sump pit.
7. Re-install the discharge pipe.
8. Check the system operation by filling the basin with water
and observing the pump's operation through one complete
cycle.
Flood hazard. May cause personal injury or
property damage. Failure to make this operational check can
lead to improper operation, premature pump failure and
flooding.
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 a small hole in the side of the pump housing.
See Figure 1. This is an anti-airlock valve. If you suspect an
airlock, insert a hat pin or a pipe cleaner into the anti-airlock
hole to clean out the debris.
