J. FIELD AND FACTORY SERVICE AND PARTS
Imo Pump maintains a staff of trained service personnel that can provide pump installation, pump start-up,
maintenance/overhaul and troubleshooting supervision as well as installation and maintenance training.
Our factories provide maintenance as well as overhaul and test facilities the in event the user prefers to
return pumps for inspection or overhaul. Factory-overhauled pumps are normally tested and warranted “as-
new” for a period of one year from date of shipment. For either field service or factory overhaul assistance,
contact your local Imo Sales Office or representative at Technical/ Customer Service Department in Monroe,
NC, USA.
Most pumps have repair kits available. Minor Repair Kits are used to repair leaking seals, bad bearings
and/or for re-assembly after pump tear-down. They include (as applicable) pump shaft seals, packing, all
gaskets/O-rings and bearings. Major Repair Kits are sufficient to rebuild completely worn-out pumps to “as-
new” condition. They include all parts found in Minor Repair Kits plus all major internal parts subject to wear.
Since kits have all necessary parts, kit purchase is preferred rather than selecting individual parts. When
parts are individually selected from Parts List, some needed components are often overlooked. In addition,
mixing worn or used parts with new parts risks rapid wear and shortened service life from new parts.
