• For correct voltage (±10%) and electrical
connections
• Pressure switch operation and correct
voltage at switch or motor wires (as
equipped).
• Rectifier or motor for open or grounded
circuit
Drive assembly locked
Will Not Prime Check:
(No discharge/motor runs)
• Out of product
• Strainer for debris
• Inlet tubing/plumbing; severe vacuum leak
• Inlet/Outlet tube severely restricted
(kinked)
• Debris in pump inlet/outlet valves
• Proper voltage with the pump operating
(±10%)
• Pump housing for cracks
Leaks From Pump Head Or Switch:
• For loose screws at switch or pump head.
• Switch diaphragm ruptured or pinched

For punctured diaphragm if fluid is
present at bottom drain holes.

screws
