Maintenance
• Before inspection, always unplug the pump from power and allow it to cool.
• This pump must be monitored frequently (at least once a month, possibly more frequently if
used in water that is full of debris).If the pump becomes overly clogged with debris (leaves,
sticks, mud, etc.), excess pressure could cause the motor seal to weaken and water could
come in contact with the electric motor. If a proper GFCL outlet is not being used, hazardous
shock could occur. NEVER STAND IN WATER WITH A RUNNING OR ELECTRICALLY-
CONNECTED PUMP!
• Use only identical replacement parts.
Maintain your pump. It is recommended that the general condition of any pump be examined before it
is used. Keep your pump in good repair by adopting a program of conscientious repair and
maintenance in accordance with the recommended procedures found in this manual.
1. Clean the inlet screen regularly to remove accumulated debris.
2. Use air pressure gauge to test air pressure in the tank’s rubber bladder. Air pressure should
range between 18 and 19 PSI.
3. Wipe the pump clean with a soft, damp cloth with soapy water. Do not use solvents. Do not get
the electrical components wet.
4. If storing the pump for a long time, store it in a dry location, and apply a light layer of oil to the
metal parts prior to storage to prevent rust.
5. To drain the pump, disconnect the water lines and turn it upside down.
