General Recommendations
Regular maintenance will improve the performance
and extend the life of the water pump. Contact an
authorized service dealer for service.
This water pump's warranty does not cover items
that have been subjected to operator abuse or
negligence. To receive full value from the warranty,
the operator must maintain the water pump as
instructed in this manual, including proper storage
as detailed in the Storage section.
Note: Should you have questions about replacing
components on your water pump, please call (800)
828-5500 for assistance.
All service and adjustments should be made
at least once each season, or more frequently
when operated in dusty conditions. Follow the
requirements in the Maintenance Schedule.
Note: Once per year you should clean or replace the
spark plug, and clean or replace the air filter on the
FLEX™ Power Base. A new spark plug and clean air
filter ensure proper fuel-air mixture and help your
engine run better and last longer.
Clutch Bumpers
It is necessary to check the clutch bumpers, installed
on the dog clutch assembly, before each use. The
clutch bumpers are wearable parts that will need to
be replaced periodically after extended usage.
To replace the clutch bumpers, follow these
instructions:
1.
Gently pry each clutch bumper (a) out of
the dog clutch using a flathead screw driver.
See Figure 5-1.

Water Pump Maintenance
Clean Debris
Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
CAUTION: Improper treatment of water pump could
damage it and shorten its life.
Check and Clean Suction Hose Strainer
Examine the strainer on the suction hose after every
use. Clean it if the screening is clogged or replace it
if this screening is damaged.
Check Hoses
The suction hose and discharge hose can develop
leaks from wear, kinking, or abuse. Inspect the hoses
each time before using the FLEX™ water pump.
Check for cuts, leaks, abrasions or bulging of cover,
damage or movement of couplings. If any of these
conditions exist, replace the hose.
Storage
Water should not remain in the unit or in the hoses.
Follow these storage procedures.

Make sure all the water is out of the suction
hose and store it using the suction hose
