11. MAINTENANCE
•
Disconnect pump when power is interrupted or unstable.
•
To avoid overheating, do not restrict the suction end to adjust flow.
•
If there are any abnormal noises, stop the pump immediately and
check the connections, hose clamps, mounting hardware, etc.
•
If the pump will remain unused for an extended time, or to winterize,
be sure to drain the water to prevent damage from freezing water.
The best way to do this is to disconnect the power and plumbing
lines, turn the pump upside down to fully drain the pump and control
-

12. TROUBLESHOOTING
Issue
Solution
The pump does not
run
•
Check the voltage on the label and make
sure the input voltage is within 10 volts of
the value
•
Check the fuse or thermal protector for
damage
The pump does not
pump properly
•
Make sure the head isn’t too high
•
Verify the suction head is in water
•
Prime the pump
The pump runs but no
water
•
Check the suction side intake connection
and ensure it is not blocked or damaged.
If so, clean or replace the connection.
•
Clean or replace intake screen, if present
•
Ensure the pump is fully primed and no
air exists in the suction side of the pump
including the connection lines. This pump
operates best with a flooded suction
connection. If pump is located above the
water source a loss of prime may occur.
This pump is not self priming and may
require manual repriming.
The flow reduces
drastically
•
Clean or replace intake screen, if present
•
Check water level as it may be too low for
pump operation
The pump keeps
stopping and starting
•
There is a small leak in the delivery pipe-
line: check for any leaking taps or running
toilets
The motor is overheat-
ing, or, stops soon
after starting
•
Verify supply voltage under load is within
10 volts of the required voltage (110 volts)
•
Improve ventilation
