All suction connections must be airtight. Make sure
suction lift is not more than 25’ (7.6M). Fill pump body
through priming port before starting pump. Start pump; it
should pump water in under 10 minutes (depending on
length of suction hose and height of pump above water).
Maintenance
Motor is lubricated at factory for life of bearings. Pump
seal is water cooled and self lubricating.
Motor has auto-reset thermal overload. If motor
overheats, overload will cut off power to prevent
damage and will reset after motor cools. If overload trips
repeatedly, check pump for cause (low voltage, clogged
impeller, etc.).
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. Disconnect motor from electrical power before
servicing pump.
Always replace both brushes - to avoid fire hazard, never
replace just one.
Seal Changing Procedure
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. Unplug pump before continuing.
1. Unplug the pump from the outlet and remove all
piping or hoses from the pump.
2. To avoid breaking the brushes when you remove or
replace the motor shaft, remove the motor brushes
(see Brush Changing Procedure). Put the brushes
where they will not get lost or damaged while
you proceed.
3. Remove 4 screws from the back of the pump body
(Ref. 1, Repair Parts) and remove the pump body
from the motor. Remove the old Square-cut O-Ring
(Ref. 4C) from the assembly.
4. Unscrew the impeller (Ref. 4A) from the motor shaft
and discard it.
5. Pull the seal plate (Ref. 5) from the motor shaft.
6. Turn the seal plate face down (See Figure 4A) and
use a screwdriver or small tube to push the stationary
seal half out of the seal plate (Figure 4B).
