Removing the Pump

OFF DANGER! Always disconnect, lock out, and tag the power before starting to service the pump.
When servicing unit use non-sparking tools and use caution when removing or installing equipment to
avoid generating a spark.
1. If a ball valve is installed down line from the pump, close it.
2. Back out the electrical yoke disconnect bolt (see Figure 28).
LOCK DOWN BOLT
3. Swing the electrical connector aside.
4. If a siphon system is in place, disconnect the siphon tubing. If ball valves are installed, close them.
5. Remove the two lock-down bolts. To relieve pressure, rock the pump to allow excess pressure to flow into the
tank or back out Functional Element screw.
WARNING!
Confirm that the packer wiring compartment cover/plug (with lifting eyebolt) is properly torqued
at 50 ft-lbs (70 N•m). Confirm that the lifting eyebolt is properly torqued to 10 ft-lbs (13.6 N•m)
with a minimum of 6 full threads installed. Occasionally, eyebolts are removed after pump
installation and corrosion may occur in the threaded areas of the wiring compartment cover/plug
and the eyebolt. If corrosion has occurred, the cover/plug and eyebolt should be replaced.
Utilize the lifting eyebolt to lift out the extractable unit and place it on a clean surface. Removal of
the extractable section of the pump must be conducted with caution. Make certain that the
extractable portion remains centered within the riser pipe and that no portion of the extractable
binds during the removal process. If binding occurs during removal, stop and determine the cause
of the binding and correct the situation before proceeding with removal.
6. Lift out the extractable unit.
CAUTION! DO NOT damage the surface above the discharge port. The o-ring below the leak detector port
seals on this surface.
NOTE: Before replacing the extractable portion, make sure that the packer o-ring and discharge o-ring seal
surfaces are clean. New o-rings should be installed, lubricate with petroleum jelly.
