The flow curve below is a guide for pump performance only. Attachment of accessories, changes in fluid pumped, and temperature will affect flow rate delivered.
Troubleshooting
IF PUMP FAILS TO PRIME:
•
Check suction line for leaks or obstructions.
•
Check bypass valve for dirt. The valve should slide freely.
•
Check electrical connections; the pump will run backwards if the red and black wires are reversed.
•
Open nozzle to allow air to be removed from the system.
PUMP IS BOUND:
If the motor hums but the pump does not start, the possible cause is a stuck rotor. Remove rotor cover and check rotor and vanes for dirt.
LOW PUMPING CAPACITY:
•
Strainer screen clogged (strainer screen is in top of poly suction tube).
•
Bypass valve not seating properly (1).
•
Obstruction in suction line.
•
Make sure all five vanes slide easily in their slots (2).
