recommissioning. This will protect both
intake and discharge sides of the pump.
Pouring antifreeze into the bowl will only
protect the discharge.
NOTE: Holding tanks, seacocks and
treatment systems need to be independently
winterized, stored and recommissioned (see
manufacturer’s instructions).

Inlet Valve/ Handle Orientation and Repair
Tools you will need:
Channel type pliers, Flat
-
blade (med) screwdriver
Gaining access to the inlet valve
To clean out debris or dismantle the valve it is nec-
essary to access the inlet valve spring (part# LWS)
and ball (#1201).
It is only necessary to unscrew the inlet valve cap
(part #1204B) approximately 5 revolutions with
channel type pliers.
Note: It is not necessary to
remove or loosen any other part.
Then by grasping the 1209BW handle and gently
lifting upwards, the entire assembly (down to part
#1203BW) can be removed.
Clean out any debris in this area.
Replace gasket (part#1202) if necessary
and apply a small amount of Super Lube
(#SL1CC) to the O-ring area of the 1203BW.
Reassemble in the reverse order making sure
that the alignment post of the 1200CW hous
-
ing protrudes
between
the two limiting stops
in the underside of the 1209BW. This allows
for the proper position of the inlet valve.
If installed properly this creates a maximum
of a 1/4 turn from "Dry" to "Flush"
not
3/4
turn.
Note: Do not overtighten #1204B as gasket
#1202 will displace
NOTE: Before reinstalling
1209BW valve handle, be
