Easy service access is provided by unbolting manhole lid through which pump is
mounted and removing entire assembly. Use proper thread sealant and insert gas-
ket between flanges of floating suction and pump. This prevents hindrance to pump
performance when product level is below this point.
Red Jacket pumps are centrifugal type pumps and as such
are not designed to pump product when the level is below the
bottom end of the UMP.
