                        TROUBLE SHOOTING  Between regular maintenance inspections, be alert for signs of motor or pump trouble. Common  symptoms are listed below. Correct any trouble immediately and AVOID COSTLY REPAIR AND  SHUTDOWN.  CAUSES CURES  No Liquid Delivered  1. Lack of prime. Fill pump and suction pipe completely with liquid.  2. Loss of prime. Check for leaks in suction pipe joints and fittings; vent casing to remove  accumulated air. Check mechanical seal or packing.  3. Suction lift too high (a If there i
