Page 23: Routine Maintenance
MAINTENANCE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE A well maintained pumping system will extend the life of the unit and require fewer repairs. This means less down-time which can be very critical when a constant delivery of liquid is required. A routine maintenance and inspection schedule should be set up on a weekly, quarterly, and annual basis with records kept of these actions. - Page 24 MAINTENANCE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE QUARTERLY Pump and Piping Connections – Inspect all system piping connections for leakage or possible misalignment. Misalignment of pipe connections to the pump will put excessive strain on the pump case and can cause damage to internal components of both the pump and motor.

Page 25: Recommended Spare Parts
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS The number and type of spare parts kept on hand at any pump site is dictated by the severity of the service in which the pump is used. That is, a pump servicing a golf course’ s sprinkling system should not be down because of a simple case gasket, or a subdivision out of water because of a failed mechanical seal. -
