6. การดำเนินการ

1. Once the pump is correctly placed and connected to the battery and discharge hose, turn on the pump power switch located on the cord.
2. The pump will begin operating, effectively removing water down to approximately 1/8" to 1/4" from the surface.
3. สำคัญ: Do not allow the pump to run dry. The pump relies on water for cooling and internal lubrication. Continuous dry operation will lead to motor overheating and permanent damage.
4. This pump features an anti-airlock hole. A small stream of water will be visible from this hole during operation. This is normal and indicates proper function. Periodically inspect and clean this hole to prevent airlock issues.
5. When pumping is complete, turn off the power switch.
