MAINTENANCE
Like all pieces of precision machinery, certain maintenance procedures must
be performed to keep your unit running trouble free for years. The following
recommendations should be done annually to prevent a more serious and costly
problem from occurring.
Following these recommended procedures will result in years of trouble free
operation, as well as keeping the warranty in effect.
• In all cases it is strongly recommended that you remove your unit from
the water annually for a good visual inspection.
• Remove unit from the water and inspect nuts, bolts, brackets, and float,
replacing any broken or worn parts. Tighten any nuts and bolts that may
have worked loose.
• Make sure the intake screen is in place, intact and free of debris. If you
have debris floating in your pond (plastic bags, fishing line, etc.) you may
choose to perform maintenance on all units annually, assuring you years
of trouble free operation.
• Inspect the motor shaft, impeller or propeller and diffuser making sure
they are not damaged. If there is damage to any parts, replace them. If
debris has wrapped around them, remove it, and inspect the shaft
especially around the seal area. Debris wrapped in this area can push
the seal faces apart causing water to enter the unit and shorting out the
motor. If there is any evidence of this an annual maintenance should be
performed (oil and seal change) to keep your unit running properly and
warranty in effect.
• Check motor bearings by turning impeller or propeller shaft by hand; it
should turn smoothly and quietly.
• Visually inspect the power cable making sure there are no cuts, worn
spots or animal chew marks. If any damage has occurred, replacement
of the cable must be done, do not splice your cables. Make sure the
cable support grip is not broken and securely fastened to the unit before
putting the unit back into the water.
• Under normal conditions, no maintenance is required for a specific period
of time after the initial installation of your unit. On 1/2 HP units it is
recommended that maintenance of replacing the seal and oil be
performed annually after the initial 2 years of operation and every year
thereafter. Routine maintenance consisting of power unit oil and seal
change, along with inspection of all other in-water and electrical control
panel components is recommended annually when installed in saltwater
or highly brackish water conditions. Preventative or routine maintenance
expenses are the responsibility of the customer. For warranty repair or
replacement consideration, equipment must be pre-approved and
returned to the AquaMaster® factory for inspection, repair or
replacement.
