Service
Keep ventilation openings clear of extraneous objects which may hinder free flow of air thru motor. Motor bearings are lubricated
during manufacture. Additional lubrication is not required during their normal lifetime.
Draining
The pump and piping should always be protected against freezing temperatures. If there is any danger of freezing, the unit
should be drained. To drain the pump, remove the drain plug at the bottom of the volute, and remove the priming plug to
vent the pump. Drain all piping.

All pumping parts can be removed from case without disturbing the piping.
