CHECK (possible cause)
A. Check that the motor is live and that the
mains voltage corresponds to the voltage
on the data plate.
B. Check the protection fuses.
C. The float switch does not allow starting.
D. The shaft is not turning.
A. The suction filter or the pipes are
blocked.
B. The impellers are worn or blocked.
C. The check valve, if installed on the
