Change pump oil after first 50 hours of use or first season, then every 300 hours or as needed. Please
use the GENERGY Universal Pump Oil and follow the steps below:
1.
Unthread the oil cap on the top of the pump;
2.
Put a container under the pump, then unthread the drain plug on the bottom of the pump;
3.
After oil drains away completely, screw the drain plug into the drain hole again, make sure the o-ring
is with the plug;
4.
Refill pump oil via the top hole of the pump until the oil level is halfway up the sight glass.
