ST2037, 47, 47B, 38P, 40T SUB. PUMP —TROUBLESHOOTING
Practically all breakdowns can be prevented by proper handling and maintenance inspections, but in the event of a breakdown, use Table 8 (Pump Troubleshooting) as a basic guideline for troubleshooting the pump. If the problem cannot be remedied, contact Multiquip's service department.
TABLE 8. PUMP TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM | POSSIBLE PROBLEM | SOLUTION | |
|
|
| |
|
| Check that proper voltage (115 VAC, 60 Hz, | |
| Incorrect voltage/amps? | supplied to the pump. Also check that there is an adequate amount | |
| of current (amps) to run the pump. Check power source circuit | ||
|
| ||
|
| breaker. | |
|
|
| |
| Check electrical connections? | If using float switches check wiring, inspect power cord. | |
|
|
| |
| Blown power fuse? | Replace fuse, check cause of blown fuse. | |
Pump Fails To Start |
|
| |
Impeller locked? | Disconnect power cord and check for clogging. Unclog pump. Check | ||
| |||
| overload protection device. | ||
|
| ||
|
|
| |
|
| Use multimeter to check motor insulation. Insulation resistance must | |
| Wet motor windings? | be approximately 15 megaohms. If resistance is low, disassemble | |
|
| pump motor and bake windings to dry them. | |
|
|
| |
| Defective motor and pump | Check for excessive bearing wear, if worn replace bearings. Replace | |
| bearings? | motor if defective. | |
|
|
| |
| Twisted or restricted discharge | Lay hose flat | |
| hose? |
| |
|
|
| |
| Clogged pump strainer? | Clean strainer. | |
Pump Fails to Deliver Full |
|
| |
| Use a voltmeter to check voltage while pump is energized. Voltage | ||
Output |
| ||
Low voltage? | must be within ±10%. Check power source (no load and load). If an | ||
| |||
| extension cord is used, make sure it has adequate | ||
|
| ||
|
| capacity for the required length.See Table 4. | |
|
|
| |
| Impeller worn? | Replace impeller. | |
|
|
| |
Water in Seal Oil | Defective water seal? | Replace water seal. | |
|
| ||
Loose Oil Fill Plug? | Tighten securely. | ||
