2. Verify that the control box power on light is oFF.
3. Turn the circuit breaker or quick disconnect switch to
the oFF position.
4. Using a suitable lifting device, lift the pump up from
its current position and place on a secure flat surface.
5. Remove the discharge hose from the discharge port
on the pump.
6. Remove all power cables and float switches from
the control box. Place cables and float switches in a
suitable container where they will not get damaged.
7. If the pump was used to pump mud, grit or silt, flush
vigorously with clean water.
8. Wipe off any mud or debris that might have attached
itself to the pump.

debris.
Control box operation (manual mode)

disconnect switch to the on position.
2. For manual operation of the pump, place the 3-position
operation switch (Figure 11) on the control box in the
manual position.

4. In the manual mode the pump will run continuously. Pay
close attention when running the pump in this mode.
Damage to the pump may occur if pump is not fully
immersed in water.
Control box operation (auto mode)

2. In the auto mode the pump will run as long as there
is a sufficient amount of water. This amount of water
is determined by the setting of the float switches. The
stop float switch contacts will open when the water
level is low and power will be removed from the pump's
electric motor.
Once the water level has risen back to the appropriate
level the start float switch contacts will close and power
will be restored to the pump's motor.
