Pump Removal/Replacement

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Disconnect all 
power and piping to system.

1.

Disconnect all power to the system.

2.

Bleed pressure and drain all water from the sys-
tem.

3.

Remove top and side panels.

4.

Remove pump motor wiring cover panel (2 screws).

5.

Note location of pump motor wires and remove.

6.

Loosen and remove vent line (see Figure 6.3, Motor
Vent Line).

7.

Remove bolts holding pump motor to the casting
(4 bolts), and lift motor out of casting.

8.

Remove impeller and install new mechanical seal
and impeller on the new motor.

9.

Place new motor in system and bolt down.

10. Replace vent line and tighten.

11. Reconnect wires and replace wiring cover and side

panels.

12. Reconnect the system.

13. Perform Pump Rotation Check (see Section 2,

page 12).

14. Replace top panel.

Close the front electrical enclosure door and 
retighten the locking screw. This must be done 
to limit access to high voltage components. 
Failure to comply could lead to electric shock 
or electrocution.

4.

Remove cover on the cooling solenoid (see Figure
6.4, Heat Exchanger).

5.

Disconnect “COOLING INLET” and “COOLING
OUTLET” piping.

6.

Disconnect copper tubing connected to the heat
exchanger.

7.

Unbolt the heat exchanger and remove (4 bolts).

8.

Place new heat exchanger in system and bolt
down.

9.

Reconnect “COOLING INLET” and “COOLING
OUTLET” piping.

10. Reconnect wires to the cooling solenoid.

11. Reconnect copper tubing.

12. Replace cover on cooling solenoid and top panel.

13. Replace system water and reconnect the system.
