Your pump requires no additional lubrica-
tion or maintenance beyond keeping it
clean and free of debris.
Cleaning
Before storing the pump, it should be
cleaned.
To clean the Pump Accessory, rinse out
your vac drum so that it is free of any
debris. Fill the drum 3/4 of the way full with
clean water and allow the pump to pump
the water out. For vacuums under 12-gal-
lons, perform this procedure twice.
Remove the remaining water from the
drum; remove the Pump Accessory from

to the permanently installed drain adapter.
To keep your pump looking its best, clean
the outside with a cloth dampened with
warm water and mild soap. Remove any
excess water or debris with a dry cloth.
