Symptom		Possible Problem				Solution
						Check that proper voltage (115 VAC
						1Ø) is being supplied to the pump.
		Incorrect voltage/amps?				Also check that there is an adequate
						amount of current (amps) to run the
						pump. Check power source circuit
						breaker.
Pump Fails To Start		Check electrical connections?				Inspect power cord.
		Blown fuse or defective circuit				Replace fuse or circuit breaker. Check

		Twisted or restricted discharge hose?				Lay hose flat un-kinked. Remove clog
						from hose line.
		Clogged pump strainer?				Clean strainer.
						Use a voltmeter to check voltage
Pump Fails to Deliver Full Output						while pump is energized. Voltage must
						be within ±10%. Check power source
		Low voltage?				(no load and load). If an extension
						cord is used, make sure it has
						adequate current-carrying capacity for
						the required length.
