If it keeps tripping out it must mean that there is leakage of the voltage to earth.  Check all the seals and if it's not an obvious problem send it back to the supplier.

Sometimes these pumps have a float switch, a little rectangle the size of a deck of cards, this needs to be the right way up for the pump to work at all.
