OPERATION

Risk of fire or explosion. Can cause severe
personal injury, property damage or death. Do not use in
explosive atmospheres. Pump water only with this pump.
NOTICE: Do not allow the pump to run in a dry sump. It will
void the warranty and may damage the pump.
An automatic overload protector in the motor will protect the
motor from burning out due to overheating/overloading. When
the motor cools down, the overload protector will automati-
cally reset and start the motor.
If the overload trips frequently, check for the cause. It could
be a stuck impeller, wrong/low voltage, or an electrical failure
in the motor. If an electrical failure in the motor is suspected,
have it serviced by a competent repairman.
The pump is permanently lubricated. No oiling or greasing is
required.
SERVICE
General
Hazardous voltage and risk of cord dam-
age. Can shock, burn, or kill. Before removing the pump
from the basin for service, always disconnect electrical power
to the pump and the control switch. Do not lift the pump by
the power cord. See the "Cord Lift Warning" below.
After removing the basin cover and the necessary discharge
piping, lift the pump out of the basin.
Place the pump in an area where it can be cleaned thor-
oughly. Remove all scale and deposits on the pump.
Submerge the complete pump in a disinfectant solution
(chlorox or chlorine bleach) for at least one hour before dis-
assembling the pump.
The pump motor housing contains a special lubricating oil
which should be kept clean and free of water at all times.
NOTICE: Whenever the motor housing is being removed for
service, remove oil and replace it with new oil at reassembly.
Use only oil listed in parts list in this manual. When filling
with new oil, DO NOT overfill. Allow about 7/8" (22mm) air
space from top of boss in housing for expansion of oil when
the pump is operating.
Pump Disassembly
Impeller and Seal Replacement
A. Impeller removal
1. Remove the oil fill plug and turn the pump upside
down to drain oil.
2. Remove the capscrews holding the upper motor hous-
ing to the lower motor housing; lift off the upper motor
housing and remove the motor lead wires from the
connector to detach upper housing from assembly.
The lead wires are fitted with quick connect terminals
for this purpose.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock.
Can burn or kill.
Do not lift pump by
power cord.
CORD LIFT WARNING
3. Remove the capscrews holding the lower motor hous-
ing to the volute; lift off the lower motor housing.
4. Hold the rotor shaft assembly and unscrew the
impeller by turning it counter-clockwise. Remove
impeller and clean it.
If no more service is needed, reverse instructions above
to reassemble the pump. Reattach the motor lead wires
as shown in Figure 1, fill with clean dielectric oil (Part
No. U197-8A), check the oil level and replace fill plug.
Oil should cover the motor windings (E3/EC3/SC5
Series) or the top of the motor (EC4 Series).

B. Shaft seal replacement:
1. Follow the instructions to remove the impeller, above.
2. Remove the stator capscrews and the spacers (if
applicable). Lift off the stator.
3. Remove the seal's ceramic seat from the shaft and tap
the body of the seal out of the lower motor housing.
4. Clean the seal cavity thoroughly before installing the
new seal. NOTICE: Make sure that the seal faces are
clean; do not scratch or damage the new seal face
during seal replacement. Apply Permatex #2 or an
equivalent sparingly to the outside edge of seal body
before installing the seal in the lower motor housing.
5. Press the new seal body into position in the lower
housing cavity.
6. Press the ceramic seat onto the motor shaft. The
impeller will pull it into position.
7. Reassemble the stator and tighten the stator cap-
screws. If your pump has a capacitor (Key. No. 14), be
sure the spacer is under it to keep it away from the oil
in the motor.
Risk of electrical shock. Can burn or
kill. Discharge capacitor before handling it. Electrical
shock can burn or kill.
8. Reassemble the impeller and the pump (reverse
instructions 1 through 4 in section A).
9. Install new capacitor.
10. Reattach the motor lead wires as shown in Figure 1.
11. Fill with clean dielectric oil (Part No. U197-8A), check
the oil level and replace the oil fill plug.
1. Attempting to lift or support pump by power cord
can damage cord and cord connections.
2. Cord may pull apart, exposing bare wires with
possibility of fire or electrical shock.
3. Lifting or supporting pump by power cord will
void warranty.
4. Use lifting ring or handle on top of pump for all
lifting/lowering of pump. Disconnect power to
pump before doing any work on pump or
attempting to remove pump from sump.
