CORRECTIVE ACTION
Check that pump casing and suction line are full.
Check RPM of source. See INSTALLATION.
A pump designed for higher head is needed.
Locate pump closer to water. Suction losses.
Check suction piping.
Remove and clean.
Check impeller rotation against arrow on casing.
Add lengths of suction pipe to keep submerged.
Locate pump closer to source of water.
A pump designed for higher head is needed.
Order replacement parts using Repair Parts.
Check suction piping.
Move pump nearer water.
Check water supply. Add length of pipe to suction
to keep submerged and under water.
Inspect shaft and bearings, replace if necessary.
Check that all piping is supported to relieve strain
on pump assembly.
Check alignment of shafts for parallelism.
The pump seal supplied is for a fresh water use.
