4. Energize control panel. (Turn
on power to panel.)
5. Check overload relay and
verify reset mode (if overload
is sup plied).
6. WARNING! Live voltage
can kill! Check voltage to the
panel and at secondary of
control trans form er using a
voltmeter. If no transformer is
supplied, check volt age at the
circuit breakers.
7. With H-O-A switch in hand,
check dis charge to ver i fy the
pump is run ning. Check for
flow. On three phase power,
check to see if each pump
has prop er ro ta tion. Wrong
ro ta tion will give low flow.
8. Check full load current with
amp probe and compare it
with the name plate rat ing. On
three phase pumps, check all
three phases. On single phase
pumps, check black pump lead.
9. Check operation of start relay,
if supplied on single phase
panels, per procedure in Item
#7 of Maintenance Instructions.
10. With H-O-A switch in Auto,
check float op er a tion and
response to control panel to

design specification.
11. Make sure H-O-A switch is left
in the Auto position after
start-up is completed.
12. Make sure all conduits from
wet well to panel are sealed
below panel. Septic gases
