five minutes:

Turn power off at the breaker box and check

all pipe connections for leaks. All connections

must be water and air tight in order for pump to

operate.

suction pipe in a straight line to the pump.

NOTE: Look for leaks or a milky color in the

discharged water, which indicates an air leak.

Re-prime if necessary, following steps 1 through

6 above. Reset breaker at the breaker box. All

connections must be water and air tight in order

for pump to operate.
