• The pump is running dry.
• The inlet pressure is too high.
• The inlet pressure is too low.
• The temperature of the uid is too high.

8.3 Mechanical failure
If the pump is running dry, the temperature will
quickly increase which can cause burns.
If there is any leakage at start-up or during
operation, a high pressure jet can cause eye or
skin damage.
Leakage can result in ooding, which can cause
slipping, tripping or falling.
If water is leaking into the electric motor; it can
cause electric shock, re, short circuit or even
death. When mounting the pump vertically

avoid water leaking into the electric motor.
