To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF 
power to motor and remove plug from power outlet before 
working on pump or motor.

Routine Maintenance requires regular checking of the pump to ensure no water is 
leaking from joints whilst pump is operating and inspection/cleaning of trap basket. 
Debris or trash that collects in basket will choke off water fl ow through the pump.

Do not operate pump with trap basket missing or damaged.

Follow instructions below to clean trap:

1.  Switch off power to pump, close valves in suction and discharge, and release all 

pressure from system before proceeding.

2.  Remove trap cover (turn clockwise). If necessary, tap handles gently with a rubber 

mallet or use a board as a lever.

3.  Remove strainer basket and clean. Ensure all holes in basket are clear, fl ush basket 

with water and replace in trap with large opening at pipe connection port (between 
ribs provided). If basket is replaced backwards, the cover will not fi t on trap body. 
To clean tranparent cover, use water and neutral soap only. Do not use solvents.

4. Clean and inspect lid o-ring; reinstall on trap.

5.  Clean O’ring groove on trap body and replace cover. To help keep cover from 

sticking, tighten hand tight only.

6. Prime pump (refer priming instructions).

genuine Onga service parts. Be sure to prime pump before starting.

1. SWITCH OFF POWER to pump before proceeding.
2. CLOSE SHUT-OFF VALVES in suction and discharge pipes.
3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system.
4.  NEVER tighten or loosen covers, valves, nuts or bolts while pump is 

operating!
