AutoPump Service
AutoPump Shutdown and Removal from Well
To shut down and remove the AutoPump, follow these directions:
STEP 1 -
Wait until the pump is in its discharge cycle and then raise it above the
water level in the well. This will empty most of the fluid from the pump
making it lighter to lift. There will also be less fluid to drain from the
pump.
Note:
See Start Up and Operation for optional pump removal technique.
STEP 2 -
Pull the pump and hoses to the surface.
STEP 3 -
Shut off the air to the pump and disconnect the air hose from the pump.
STEP 4 -
Ensure that there is a safe place to drain any fluid from the pump and
discharge hose.
STEP 5 -
Disconnect the fluid discharge hose from the pump.
For Bottom-loading pumps
Drain the fluid in the pump by lifting the bottom inlet check valve from its seat by
using a thin wire or Allen wrench.
For Top-loading pumps
Drain the fluid by turning the pump upside-down and allowing fluid to flow from
the air inlet fitting.
Caution:
Wear gloves and catch the draining fluid in a sump or bucket.
