Troubleshooting Guide

Problem

 

Solution

No flow out of the outlet tubing

1.

Check to see that the Stator is

 

 

snapped shut. If it is, push down on

 

 

the Stator while the motor is

 

 

running. This action enhances the

 

 

self-priming capability of the pump.

 

2.

Make sure the tubing is loaded

 

 

properly. The tubing should be

 

 

centered in the middle of the

 

 

rollers. Reload if necessary.

 

3.

Check to see that the tubing has no

 

 

holes or cracks. Replace with new

 

 

tubing, if necessary.

 

4.

Check that the inlet tubing is fully

 

 

immersed in fluid.

 

5.

Check that the motor is rotating in

 

 

the correct direction. Refer to Figure

 

 

5-5.

 

 

6.

Check to see if the tubing is

 

 

clogged. Replace with new tubing,

 

 

if necessary.

 

7.

Check to see if the pump is properly

 

 

mounted to the motor. Refer to

 

 

Section 3 for instructions on proper

 

 

mounting.

 

8.

Check to see if the Rotor Assembly

 

 

is worn or stuck. Check that the

 

 

rollers spin freely. Use a high

 

 

pressure air hose to blow out

 

 

particles from the pump which may

 

 

be restricting roller motion.
