Read and understand safety and operating instructions in this manual before doing any work on pump!
Only qualified personnel should electrically test the pump motor! TO AVOID FAILURE TO PUMP; YOU MAY REDUCE CAPACITY OR DISCHARGE
PRESSURE.
Problem
The pump does not pump water.
The pump is experiencing electrical
issues.
The pump is experiencing mechanical
troubles and noise.
Possible Cause
The pump is not priming.
There are leaks in the suction piping.
The suction inlet is above water level.
The vertical distance of the pump is too
high to water level.
The pump is clogged.
The impeller and diffuser are worn.
The pump is incorrect for this installation.
The voltage is incorrect.
There are issues with the piping.
The pump is improperly mounted.
Corrective Action
Pump must be primed. Make sure that

pump body and basket body are full of
water. See priming instructions.
Make sure there are no leaks in suction

piping.
Make sure suction inlet is well below the

water level to prevent pump from sucking
air.
Pump is designed to prime at a vertical

distance of 10 ft. or less. Verify suction lift
is 10 ft or less. Lower pump closer
(vertically) to water source.
Make sure suction trap is not clogged; if it

is, then clean trap and strainer.
Make sure the impeller is not clogged.

Impeller and diffuser may be worn. If so,

order replacement parts. For more
information call customer service.
The pump may be trying to push too high a

column of water. If so, a "higher head"
pump is needed.
Pump may be running too slowly; check

voltage at motor terminals and at meter
while pump is running. If low, see wiring
instructions or consult power company.
Check for loose connections.
Pump may be too hot.

a) Check line voltage; if less than 90% or
more than 110% of rated voltage
consult a licensed electrician.
b) Increase ventilation.
c) Reduce ambient temperature.
d) Tighten any loose connections.
If suction and discharge piping are not

adequately supported, pump assembly will
be strained. See "Installation."
Do not mount the pump on a wooden

platform! Securely mount on a concrete
platform for quietest performance before
working on pump or motor.
