We bought a brand new booster pump pb4-60 last summer and it kept shutting off so we had all of our electral wiring checked and the company replaced the pump on the understanding that it was faulty. We now have the new pump hooked up and the polaris will run for about 5 minutes then shut off any ideas on what this could be?
SOURCE: Pump comes on for about a minute...then shuts off..
Has this pump worked at all -pumped water?
When it's running for about a minute, is it pumping water?
Is this a self priming pump or do you need to prime it?
SOURCE: polaris booster pump runs for minute but quits. Tries to restart
The motors are usually dual voltage and factory connected for 230V. Are you sure it is properly wired and set for the correct incoming line voltage?
SOURCE: Just bought a new polaris booster pump (PB4-60)
Have you checked for voltage at the pump motor? Did you wire it correctly? Is the motor 110V or 220V. Did you match the motor to your existing voltage?
SOURCE: My brand new Polaris 380
Thank
you for posting your question here on Fixya.com. It
is likely due to cavitation in the booster pump impeller. The easiest way to
correct the issue is to slowly close a throttling valve on the booster
discharge. If there is not one present install a ball or gate valve near the
pump discharge line and slowly close it with everything running until the noise
stops. Generally speaking closing the valve about a quarter of the way seems to
be when most pumps run quietly but the setting is unique to each installation. If

Yes this is the correct oil. Polaris recommends the PS-4 PLUS in all of their atv engines.
