Perform Pressure Check
NOTE:
This is to be performed with no oil in housing.
CAUTION: MAKE CERTAIN THAT CORD SET IS ATTACHED TO PUMP. PERFORMING THE
PRESSURE CHECK WITHOUT THE CORD SET ON MAY CAUSE THE TERMINAL BLOCK TO
BLOW OUT
.
To check the pump for any seal leaks, attach the pressure gauge assembly using pipe sealant. Tighten
the fi tting into the hole. Pressurize the gauge to 8 to 10 psi. Use a soap solution around the sealed areas
and inspect joints for air bubbles.
If after 5 minutes the pressure is still holding constant, and no bubbles are observed, slowly bleed the
pressure and remove the gauge assembly. Replace the pipe plug using sealant. If the pressure does not
hold, then the leak must be located and repaired.
