FAQ

What should I do if the unit will not start?

Check for blown fuse at power supply, ensure correct voltage and check for loose wire connections.

Why does the unit shut down on high pressure switch?

It may be due to low air flow across condenser, non-operating fan, high ambient air temperature or insufficient clear space around the unit.

What are the possible reasons for pump not starting?

The impeller may be bound or frozen, motor winding may be open, internal overload may have tripped, there may be a loose wire connection or defective start capacitor, or the on/off circuit breaker may be tripped.
