DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged
and the pump will start leaking. If this occurs, the damaged seal must be replaced. AL-
WAYS maintain proper water level. If the water level falls below the suction port, the
pump will draw air through the suction port, losing the prime and causing the pump to
run dry, resulting in a damaged seal. Continued operation in this manner could cause a
loss of pressure, resulting in damage to the pump case, impeller and seal and may cause
property damage and seal and may cause property damage and personal injury.
Pump Reassembly
1. Using water with soap to wet the rubber boot and press seal into the seal plate when install-
ing the replacement seal into the seal plate.
2. Reinstall the seal plate to the motor.
3. Before installing the rotating part of the seal on the impeller shaft, wet the impeller shaft
with soapy water and slide the seal to the impeller shaft end. Remove the dirt from the con-
tact surface of the seal with a clean cloth.
4. Screw in the impeller lock screw (clockwise to tighten).
Note: Insert a Phillips screwdriver into the hole of the motor fan.
5. Remount the diffuser onto the seal plate.
6. Using silicon grease to grease the diffuser quad ring and seal plate o-ring before reassembly.
7. Assemble the motor sub-assembly to the strainer pot-pump body. Tighten the bolts until all
4 bolts are in place and finger tightened.
8. Fill the pump with water.
