 Hagen Brothers farms,Goodrich ND | If it has a permanent magnet motor (most now do) and you have the battery leads connected wrong, then the pump will turn backwards and will not pump.
Easy to do, this spring came home from seeding and found my brother with a shuttle pump about half disassembled and grumbling that the #@%%**+ thing runs, but will not pump a drop. I helped him finish disassembling the pump and found nothing wrong. about then it struck me I asked " do you have it correctly hooked to the battery" His only reply was a puzzled look. I checked the battery and yep, the red was on the neg post and black on the pos post. Reassembled the pump, correctly connected it to the battery (red to pos and black to neg) and it pumped just fine :-)
