Maintenance and Inspection
• Regular maintenance and inspections are a necessity for continued efficient functioning.
If any abnormal conditions are noticed, refer to the section on Troubleshooting and take
corrective measures immediately.
• During or after the warranty period, the customer is NOT to disassemble the pump for
any reason.
Monthly Inspection
• Check for any drop in performance. Reduced performance is usually caused by debris
blocking the intake screen.
• Detach the power cable from the receptacle and turn off the power supply (circuit breaker).
• Disconnect the pump discharge and remove the pump from the water.
• Remove any accumulated debris from the surface of the pump, inlet screen and impeller.
• Make sure all nuts and bolts are fastened securely.
Winterizing
• Under no circumstances should the pump be left in frozen water.
• When the pump is out of use for an extended period, wash it and dry it thoroughly, then
store it indoors.
Note:
Always run a test operation before putting the pump back into operation. When the
pump is left installed in water it should be run at regular intervals (about once per week).
