Cold Weather Operation
The pump can be run in below freezing temperatures if certain precautions are taken to
avoid the formation of ice in the pump.
1. After priming the pump, the unit should be run at low speed for a short period of time to
allow all components to warm up before continuing with the remaining operating
procedures.
2. Unless wrapped in a heater, drain the pump of all water if it is stopped for any length of
time. The engine/drive unit should be turned over a few revolutions to make sure all
water has been removed from the pump. Drain the pump priming line if a primer has
been used.
3. After use, drain the pump, manifolds, and lines of all water. You can also pour some
antifreeze into the pump and circulate it through the pump and plumbing system.
Basic Care and Storage
The basic care described in this section does not require any disassembly of the pump.
For any servicing procedures that require removing any part of the pump to access a
component, please see the Service section.
WARNING: Before doing any maintenance to the pump, always ensure that the
equipment cannot be accidentally started. Follow any apparatus and/or departmental
procedures or guidelines in regards to locking out the equipment.
Regular maintenance
After each use:
1. Visually inspect the pump unit.
2. Make sure the mechanical rotary seal is not leaking.
3. Check the pump for external leaks.
4. Check the engine for leaks.
5. Check the condition of the flexible buffer coupling. Replace if worn. See instructions for
