TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE:
My TrunkPump ® won’t pump…
• Are the two drain plugs securely screwed in place?
• Did you make sure all belts were tensioned and hoses were properly attached
complete with gaskets? Are your hoses watertight? The smallest leak will make
your pump difficult to prime.
• Did you engage the PTO immediately after dipping the trunk?
• Did you fill the unit with water before you attempted pumping?
• Did you check for any obstructions or clogs in the system?
• If the pump was not level, water may have drained from the unit, fully raise Trunk
Pump and add more water.
• Check for pressure build-up in discharge hose… if pressure is building up, the
pump is priming the suction line and should be moving water soon.
My TrunkPump ® doesn’t seem as efficient as it used to be…
• If you have had the pump for a while and it has been pumping abrasive materials,
it may necessary to replace the gaskets and/or the impeller and volute (for repair
kits, see your local TrunkPump ® dealer). Installing these parts annually would be a
good maintenance practice.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What kind of hoses and fittings does my TrunkPump ® use?
• Suction hose should be a reinforced 3”PVC hose (usually green) with a female
camlock fitting and a threaded hose barb. Discharge hose should be a 3” PVC lay
flat 3” hose (usually blue) with female camlock fitting and either an open end or
male camlock fitting on the other. NOTE: You’ll need to find a hose and rubber
supply company for these items, hardware stores and home improvement centers
normally do not carry these products.
Can I use longer hoses if I need to?
• Yes, a longer suction hose can be used so long as you don’t exceed the vertical
pumping capacity of the pump (25 feet of head). NOTE: A longer suction hose will
likely need to be detached for transport. And long discharge hoses can run for hun-
dreds of feet.
