Check for leaks in suction line
Remove and inspect valve; must move
freely & be free of debris.
Check vanes and slots for nicks, burrs
and wear.*
Inspect rotor & vanes for excessive wear
or damage; replace if necessary.*
Check pump outlet, hose, nozzle & filter
for blockage.
Reduce vertical and horizontal distance
from pump to liquid; remove automatic
nozzle.
Remove and clean screen.
Check suction line for leaks or
restrictions; it may be too small, too long
or not airtight.
