Operating Instructions

The LANCHEZ sump pump features an automatic float switch for convenient operation. The pump will automatically start when the water level reaches 6.1 inches and stop when the water level drops to 1.37 inches.

• Automatic Mode: Ensure the float switch is free to move. The pump will activate and deactivate based on the water level.
• Manual Mode (for low water levels): For continuous operation in low water levels, keep the float switch upright.
• Initial Activation: For the pump to start, it must be plugged in, and the float switch must be tilted to at least 45 degrees.
• Float Switch Adjustment: The cable length of the float switch can be adjusted to change the vertical position of the float, but this does not alter the preset maximum/minimum trigger water levels.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your sump pump.

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically inspect and clean the pump's intake screen to prevent blockages from debris.
• Float Switch Check: Ensure the float switch moves freely and is not obstructed by debris or the pump's housing.
• Power Cord Inspection: Check the power cord for any signs of damage or wear. Do not move the pump by pulling the power cord.
• Avoid Dry Running: Do not operate the pump without water, as this can cause damage to the motor.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your LANCHEZ sump pump, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Pump Not Starting:
  • Ensure the pump is securely plugged into a functional power outlet.
  • Check if the float switch is tilted to at least 45 degrees to activate the pump.
  • Verify there is sufficient water (at least 6.1 inches) for automatic operation.
  • Inspect the power cord for damage.
• Pump Running Continuously:
  • Check if the float switch is stuck in an upright position or obstructed.
  • Ensure the water level has dropped below 1.37 inches for the pump to stop automatically.
• Reduced Flow Rate:
  • Clean the intake screen for any debris that might be blocking it.
  • Check the discharge hose for kinks or obstructions.
  • Ensure the pump is not operating against excessive head pressure.
• Pump Overheating:
  • The pump has thermal overload protection and will automatically shut off if it overheats. Allow it to cool down before restarting.
  • Ensure the pump is fully submerged in water during operation to aid cooling.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support.
