due to installation :
a) Check the adequate adjustment of the requirement (conformity to the required
points).
b) Let dismantle the pump and clean it.
c) Clean all the pipes.
d) Check tightness of the whole pipe up to the pump and make it tight.
e) Too high losses of load on suction or suction head is too high
(check the NPSH of the pump installed and of the installation).
a) Check and tighten completely the nuts of the stud bolts.
b) Have the pump dismantled and clean it.
c) Check the pump turns freely without abnormal sticking.
a) Check if the set value is correctly adjusted.
b) Replace it.
c) Open the venting device and vent until there are no more air bubbles.
d) Check it and screw it again.
a) Study again the installation conditions and the recommendations described
in this instruction.
b) The suction pipe must have at least the same diameter as the suction pump
port.
c) Remove and clean.
d) Put a sensor with conforming pressure scale and accuracy
(see chapter 4.4).
a) Clean it or change it.
b) Replace it by an adequate non-return valve.
c) Change it or add an other one on the installation.
