MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE OR REMOVE ANY PUMP COMPONENT.
1) The pump is permanently lubricated. Oiling IS NOT required. Do not, in any case, open the
sealed portion of the unit or remove housing screws.
2) Periodic cleaning of the pump parts will prolong the LIFE and EFFICIENCY of the pump. Refer to
Fig.1 for assembly and disassembly of the pumping head.
3) First remove the screen from the pump. Then remove the (3) screws as indicated by the arrows.
(DO NOT remove any other screws, which may be exposed).
4) Lightly clean any corrosion or debris which may clog the impeller. Use a brush and penetrating
oil and lightly scrape to remove encrusted material.
5)
Turn the impeller by hand to make sure it turns freely. Set pump down so you are not touching
pump and the impeller is not touching anything. Connect the Edger to power source, turn
conveyor switch “ON” to see if the impeller turns. a) If it is rotating, turn conveyor switch “OFF”,
disconnect from power source and install parts in reverse order in which they were removed. b)
If it does not rotate, if pump is tripping circuit breakers, or not operating properly after cleaning,
call
CRL Glass Machinery
Parts Department for ordering a replacement pump. DO NOT attempt
repairs yourself.
6)
Be sure the power cord is in good condition and contains no nicks or cuts.
