Use the following information to resolve possible issues with your booster pump. PROBLEM Pump motor does not run. POSSIBLE CAUSE Power is off. Circuit is tripped. Fan guard pushed against fan. Pump is in OFF mode in a timer controlled circuit. Motor terminal wiring is incorrect. Reduced pump flow and/ or cleaner runs too slow. Impeller is blocked by debris. Inlet and outlet line is blocked. Motor is wired improperly. Air pockets or leaks in suction line. Clogged impeller. Clogged filter. CORRECTIVE ACTION Check power and reset. Check circuit breaker and reset. Move fan guard back into place with hammer and screwdriver. Check timer mode. Have terminal connections checked by an electrician. Clear debris from impeller. Check for debris. Open line restriction. Check terminal connection. Check suction piping and valves. Make suction piping is at least 2' (51 mm) in diameter. Clear debris from impeller. Refer to pages 11-12 for instructions on removal. Shut down pump and clean filter. Motor Over-Heating. Incorrect electrical supply connections. Wiring to pump is under-sized. Power company supply voltage is too low. Check motor terminal. Tighten any loose connections. Increase wiring size. Check line voltage; if less than 90% or more than 110% of rated voltage, consult licensed electrician. Inadequate motor ventilation. Remove any restriction to air flow to reduce ambient temperature. Mechanical Noise. Pump vibrating or making loud noise on equipment pad. Cavitation. Fan guard pushed against fan. Check pump location; bolt pump to concrete pad. Make sure suction and discharge pipes are adequately supported. Improve suction conditions. Increase pipe size. Increase discharge pressure. Remove bends or kinks in flexible hose piping. Move fan guard back into place with hammer and screwdriver. 9 TROUBLESHOOTING BOOST-RITE™ Universal Booster Pump Installation and User's Guide
