If the pump runs manually as you state, then the problem probably has to do with the control for the pump. It could be a bad capacitor in the control , but I'm not sure there are replacement parts for these control units. Possibly you need a new control unit.
Check the pressure switch. Be sure you have enough water available. Check for a leak. What are you pumping. Is it pumping. I am not familiar with this pump so I am just listing some points to check. If it is a submersible well pump it can develop a lot of pressure.
Are you sure the rotor on the motor is rotating freely and getting up to full speed? Did you try running the motor without attaching the housing that actually pumps the water?
