5. Clean and or replace the bag in the retainer basket.
6. Inspect all seals or O-rings (replace as necessary).
7. Replace the basket and bag into the unit and secure the lid.
8. Open the from the purge line to the BGFS.
9. When the auto vent or manual vet indicated vessel is full open the valve from
BGFS to pump suction.
F. Purge valves
Purge valves typically do not require periodic maintenance. With ball valve or failsafe valve
it should be checked once a week for proper operation through a test purge. Also look for
leakage from the seals. Replace or repair as necessary. For flush setting please review the
electrical portion of this manual.
Trouble shooting:

Pump will not prime:

Make sure the strainer basket is not clogged (if applicable).

Make sure the strainer basket is positioned correctly (if applicable).

Tighten the strainer lid down completely (if applicable).

Make sure the strainer is full of water (if applicable).

Tighten all the fittings and seal all the joints on the suction side.

Open all the valves on the return and suction lines.

Remove and replace the pump seal if needed.

Check the compatibility of the pump and motor.

Check pump rotation. Reverse motor wire terminals if necessary.

Motor Runs Hot:

Motors will run warm to the touch. The motor starter thermal and
overload module will function to tum off the motor if there is an
overload current problem.

Factors which will increase the operating temperature:

The pump is installed in the direct sun.

Poor ventilation in the area the pump is located.

Low voltage is available to the pump.

The wiring is the incorrect size for the load.

The solids loading requires more than the pump's motor horsepower
rating.

The pump is operated above the full load Amp rating of the motor.

Motor is experiencing imbalance load (in case of 3 phase; it is doing a
single phase.)

Fan is broken/missing.

Motor does not start:

There is a safety/shock hazard. Have a qualified electrician perform
the testing. Opening the motor starter box does not shut off power
into the box; it only disconnects the starter module and control
transformer. Follow electro-mechanical safety lock-out procedure.

If the system does not start, open the motor control box and check for
power and/or blown control transformer fuses. If the motor overload
trips, check the overload amp setting. Adjust the overload module to
