TROUBLESHOOTING |
| POSSIBLE CAUSE OF TROUBLE | CHECK PROCEDURES | CORRECTIVE ACTION |
| A. Spray pattern not to specification | Remove both nozzle and pump and disassemble | Remove any
debris found Replace any leaking gaskets |
| B. Unit does not start | Determine if voltage is present and is correct. Voltage must be within +/- 10% of rated voltage | Supply correct power |
| C. Fuses blow or circuit breaker trips at consumer fuse box/circuit breaker panel or fountain control panel (Not the fountain GFCI) | Check for the proper size fuse or circuit breaker recommended for the equipment supplied | Provide the proper size fuse or circuit breaker |
| D. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) trips or will not reset | Disconnect outgoing power to the fountain (at the fountain terminal control panel strip) and apply power, If GFCI, energizes and stays energized, it is OK | Replace GFCI, consult the factory |
| E. Ground fault circuit interrupter trips (GFCI tests OK) (single phase only) | Check power cord for nicks or cuts in fountain power lead cables | Replace power cable if leads are damaged |
| Check motor lead for nicks or cuts (splice box to motor) | Replace the motor lead | |
| Verify the GFCI is not sensing outside interference or noise (single phase) | Correct outside interference | |
| Check motor for shorts | Replace motor | |
| If purchased, bypass the lighting transformer and connect the power cord directly to the unit junction box | Replace lighting photo cell | |
| F. Motor runs, however, fuses blow or circuit breaker trips (not the control panel GFCI) | Check for proper voltage using a volt meter. Voltage must be within +/- 10% of the rated voltage | Correct voltage |
| Check that the amperage does not exceed the maximum rating of the motor | Remove any foreign debris from pump chamber or nozzle area | |
| Check the motor shaft bearing and propeller/impeller (horizontally) for wear | If movement is determined, replace the motor | |
| G. Unit operates but lights do not come on | Check photo cell for operation use (tape over photo eye for test) | Replace photo cell module |
| Check light wiring for cuts | Replace wire as needed | |
| Check that sealed beams are OK | Replace seal beam as needed | |
| H. Lights operate, motor runs, but no spray | Check propeller/impeller for spline wear | Replace propeller/impeller |
