 ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS

  

Before servicing a pump, always shut off the main power breaker to the panel and then disconnect the pump - making 

sure you are wearing insulated protective sole shoes and are not standing in water.

 

Under fl ooded conditions, contact your local electric company or a qualifi ed licensed 

electrician for disconnecting electrical service prior to pump removal.

 

 

Submersible pumps contain oils which become pressurized and hot under operating conditions - allow 2½ hours after disconnecting before attempting service.

CONDITION
A.  Pump will not start or run.

 

          COMMON 

CAUSES

B.  Motor overheats and trips overload or blows fuse.
 

- Incorrect Voltage

 

-  Unbalanced power source

 

-  Incorrect motor rotation

 

-  Negative or low head

 

-  Excessive water temperature

 

-  Impeller or seal mechanically bound

 

-  Defective capacitor or relay

 

- Motor shorted

 

-  Lost one line in a Three Phase unit

C.   Pumps starts and stops too often.
 

- Check valve stuck open

 

-  Level controls out of adjustment

 

- Thermal overload switch out of 

 

  adjustment or defective

 

- Pit too small

D.

 

 Pump will not shut off.

 

- Debris under fl oat switch

 

-  Float travel obstructed

 

-  Defective or damaged fl oat switch 

 

-  Magnetic starter contacts shorted

 

-  Air lock - check vent hole

E.

 

Pump operates but delivers little or no water.

 

-  Check for plugged Pump housing, discharge   

 

  pipe or sticking check valve

 

-  Vent hole clogged or not drilled

 

-  Discharge head exceeds pumps capacity

 

-  Low or incorrect voltage

 

-  Incorrect motor rotation

 

- Defective capacitor

F.

 

  Drop in head and/or capacity after a period or use.

 

-  Increase Pipe Friction

 

-  Clogged line or check valve

 

-  Abrasive material & chemical, 

 

  deteriorated impeller and pump housing

If the above check list does not uncover the problem, consult the factory - Do not attempt to service or otherwise disassemble pump.
