Chapter 6: Maintenance
STEP 4 -
If you suspect the pump of being clogged with mud or other particles,
prevent the outer casing from turning while the lower plug or check valve
is unscrewed.
STEP 5 -
Have a second person hold a strap wrench around the pump casing. If
there is only one person, hold the upper head in a vise while unscrewing
the lower head. This allows a free hand to hold the strap wrench which
prevents the pump casing from rotating.
STEP 6 -
When the plug or check valve is removed, use a pump casing removal tool
to remove the pump casing. The pump casing removal tool is a specially
threaded pipe with internal threads at one end and a cap at the other.
STEP 7 -
Thread the tool onto the bottom of the discharge pipe (onto the same
threads from which the lower head was unscrewed).
STEP 8 -
Hold the pump vertically upright with the pump casing removal tool
extending down out of the pump casing.
STEP 9 -
Hold the pump by the casing and strike the pump casing removal tool on
the ground. This will cause the pump casing to slide off the upper O-ring
and will allow it to slide off the pump.
Cleaning Pump Interior
The inner workings of the pump should now be exposed for inspection and cleaning.
(See Figures 22 through 26)
Note:
A Scotch Brite® abrasive pad is useful for cleaning debris from the pump
components.
STEP 1 -
Gently brush off built-up solids from the float, the discharge tube, the
pump casing and the control rod guide.
STEP 2 -
The pump can be steam cleaned without damage.
STEP 3 -
Remove thick deposits of hardened scale on the discharge tube by using a
handbrush or by lightly tapping the discharge tube with a small hammer.
Be careful not to strike any pins or other components, since they may
be damaged.
