Troubleshooting
DANGER! Disconnect all power prior to performing any service or maintenance. Failure to disconnect the power may cause electrical shock, or unexpected starting
of the motor, resulting in injury or death.
WARNING! DO NOT open or attempt to repair the motor on your NX25‑120 or NX25‑240 series pump. Opening the motor case can compromise the integrity of
the Explosion Proof construction and will void any existing warranty and certification (UL listing). Please refer to the warranty policy located on page 2.
