MAINTENANCE

Periodic Service

To test manual pump operation, follow these steps:
1. Connect a discharge hose to the pump's discharge port.
2. Place pump into a basin or test reservoir.
3. Direct the opposite end of the discharge hose back into the basin or test reservoir so that the water dis-
charged from the hose during testing will be contained within the basin or test reservoir. Secure the
hose to prevent the water pressure created during testing from causing the hose to exit the basin or
test reservoir.
4. If there is a valve on the discharge hose, be sure the valve is open.
5. Using a separate water source, fill the basin or test reservoir until the pump is fully submerged. Do not
attempt to run the pump without water; this could result in permanent damage to the pump. Do not
overfill the basin or test reservoir.
6. If the pump is provided with an attachment plug on the power cord, plug the pump's power cord into a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacle with voltage consistent with the pump voltage, as
indicated on the pump nameplate.
If the pump is hardwired, turn on the circuit breaker for the pump's power circuit.
7. Confirm that the pump is functioning as intended.
the air bleed hole in the pump's plumbing. Confirm that this spray is captured within the basin.
8. If pump is not functioning as intended, disconnect power from the pump and refer to
ing" on page 9. If the solution still cannot be found, please contact the place of purchase or an autho-
rized service center.
9. If the pump is functioning as intended, disconnect power from the pump before attempting to remove
it from the basin or test reservoir.
MAINTENANCE
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock, high temperatures, or
pressurized fluids.
• Always unplug the pump power cord in addition to removing the fuse or shutting off the circuit
breaker before working on the pump or switch.
• Let pump cool for a minimum of 2 hours before attempting to service. Submersible pumps contain
oil that becomes pressurized and hot under normal operating conditions.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• This unit is permanently lubricated. Oiling is not required. Do not open the sealed portion of the unit
or remove housing screws.
• Do not remove the motor housing cover.
• Do not remove the impeller
• Warranty is void if the motor housing cover, impeller, or seals have been removed. Repairs on the
motor or impeller require special tools.
Periodic Service
Inspect and test the pump system condition and operation every three months—more frequently in heavy
use applications. The motor housing of the pump is completely sealed and requires no service. Disassembly
of the motor housing or alteration of the power cord voids all warranty. Let the pump cool for a minimum of
2 hours before attempting to service. These pumps contain oil that becomes pressurized and hot under nor-
mal operating conditions.
1. Check the power cords and electrical outlet for damage or corrosion. The power cord on these units
cannot be replaced. In case of damage, the whole unit must be replaced.
