MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
This submersible pump is a maintenance-free high quality product. However,
regular inspections and cleaning of the pump are recommended and will insure
longer pump life and uninterrupted operation.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Before performing any maintenance unplug the pump for safety
•
For occasional usage, pumping with clear water for a few minutes after each
use is recommended to clean out any debris.
•
For stationary installation, the float switch should be checked at least every
three months.
o
Check to see that the pump is still resting in water and not mud.
Excess debris will need to be removed from the pit before the pump is
installed for long term operation.
•
All fibrous particles and debris that have built-up inside the pump housing
should be removed. A water jet, if available, would make this a quicker job.
•
Remove deposits on the float switch
IMPELLER CLEANING

pump will need to be dismantled for cleaning. Unplug the pump then dismantle and
clean the impeller by doing the following:
1.
Remove the intake cage from the pump case

Clean the impeller with clean water.
WARNING
: Do not put the pump down or rest it on the impeller since the
