warnIng! disconnect pump from power<br />

source before maintenance.<br />

1.<br />

2.<br />

Clean the inlet screen on the intake port<br />

regularly to remove accumulated debris.<br />

Wipe the pump clean with a soft, damp<br />

cloth with soapy water. Do not use solvents.<br />

Do not get the electrical components<br />

wet.<br />

Drain water from pump before storage<br />

by disconnecting the water lines and<br />

turning the Pump upside down. If storing<br />

the pump for a long time, store it in a dry<br />

location, and apply a light layer of oil to<br />

the metal parts prior to storage, to inhibit<br />

rust. do not expose to freezing temperatures.<br />

For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.<br />

troubleshooting<br />

After storage, check the Impeller to make<br />

sure it turns easily and is not oxidized.<br />

note: Turn off the switch and unplug the<br />

pump when performing maintenance.<br />

Problem Cause solution<br />

The pump won’t start 1. No power.<br />

1. Check connections, and breaker/fuse.<br />

The pump operates<br />

but it won’t discharge<br />

water<br />

Only a low volume of<br />

water flows<br />

2.<br />

3.<br />

Pressure switch disconnected.<br />

Thermal Protection cut out.<br />

4. Blocked impeller.<br />

1. Pump not primed.<br />

2.<br />

3.<br />

4.<br />

Lift height exceeded.<br />

Inlet tube not submerged.<br />

Air in suction pipe.<br />

5. Inlet screen clogged.<br />

1. Inlet pipe is too small.<br />

2.<br />

3.<br />

4.<br />

5.<br />

Liquid is too dirty.<br />

Lifting height exceeded.<br />

Tank’s rubber bladder under-inflated.<br />

Piping corroded, causing friction.<br />

Motor overheats often 1. Extension cord too long or wire size too<br />

small.<br />

Pump/motor cycles<br />

rapidly<br />

Tank bladder will not<br />

hold pressure<br />

Water pumps<br />

intermittently<br />

2.<br />

Pump cycling too often.<br />

Cut-in and cut-out pressure may be set too<br />

closely.<br />

1. Air inlet valve is leaking.<br />

2.<br />

3.<br />

Check gauge.<br />

Allow pump to cool.<br />

4. Free the impeller.<br />

1. Prime pump.<br />

2.<br />

3.<br />

4.<br />

Reduce lift height.<br />

Submerge the inlet.<br />

Check pipe and seals.<br />

5. Clean screen.<br />

1. Increase pipe diameter.<br />

2.<br />

3.<br />

4.<br />

Clean screen frequently.<br />

Reduce lifting height.<br />

Inflate to 26-29 PSI.<br />

2. Bladder is broken.<br />

2. Replace bladder.<br />

Water level is being drawn below foot valve. Lower foot valve.<br />

5. Replace piping, with plastic where<br />

possible.<br />

1. Eliminate use of extension cord or use<br />

shorter/heavier gauge cord.<br />

2. Cut-in and cut-out pressure may be set<br />

too closely; Have the pressure switch<br />

adjusted by a qualified technician.<br />

Have the pressure switch adjusted by a<br />

qualified technician.<br />

1. Check air tank for leaks using soapy<br />

water and replace bladder if needed.<br />

Follow all safety precautions whenever diagnosing or servicing the pump.<br />

disconnect power supply before service.<br />

do not disassemble the pump or motor as this will damage the water seals.<br />

All repairs should be performed by a qualified technician.<br />
