CONDITION

Pump is noisy and pump rate is low.

Grease and solids have accumulated around pump 

and will not pump out of basin.

PROBABLE CAUSE

1.  Impeller may be partially clogged with some foreign 

objects causing noise and overload on the motor.

2.  Impeller may be rubbing on wear ring due to bent 

shaft or misalignment.

3.  Pump may be operating too close to shut-off.  Check 

head.

1.  Lower control switch may be set too high.

2.  Run pump on Hand operation for several minutes with 

small amount of water running into basin to clean out 

solids and grease.  This allows pump to break suc-

tion and surge which will break up the solids.  If level 

switch is set properly, this condition generally will not 

occur.

3.  Trash and grease may have accumulated around floats 

causing pump to operate erratically.
