TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSES AND CORRECTION
The drive motor is
operating but the pump
is not functioning.
Check that the coupling is fully inserted in the bell housing and secured by the trigger.
Check that the impeller is not obstructed.
Check that a kink in the discharge hose has not created an air lock preventing water from initially
entering the pump.
Check that the pump is sufficiently submerged to allow water to cover the impeller.
Check that electric motor rotation is as shown by the direction arrow on the bell housing (anti-clockwise
when viewing its drive dog).
Check that the threaded core ends on the flexible drive core have not unscrewed from the pump or
coupling spindle due to reverse rotation of the motor.
Check that the inner flexible core has not failed.
There is a tendency
for the pump head to
bury itself in the heavy
sediment
Overcome this by improvising an auxiliary strainer. Remove the top from an empty 20 litre drum and
punch openings around the sides. Place the pump head in the drum below the water.
