Operation (Continued)
Routine Maintenance
The only routine maintenance required is inspection/cleaning of trap basket.
Debris or trash that collects in basket will choke off water flow through the
pump. Follow instructions below to clean trap:
1.
Switch off power to pump, close valves in suction and discharge, and
release all pressure from system before proceeding.
2.
Remove trap cover handle ring (turn counterclockwise). If necessary,
tap handles gently with a rubber mallet.
3.
Remove strainer basket and clean. Ensure all holes in basket are clear,
flush basket with water and replace in trap with large opening at pipe
connection port (between ribs provided). If basket is replaced
backwards cover will not fit on trap body. To clean transparent cover,
use water and neutral soap only. Do not use solvents.
4.
Clean and inspect lid o'ring; reinstall on trap.
5.
Clean O'ring groove on trap body and replace cover and handle ring. To
help keep cover from sticking, tighten hand tight only.
6.
Prime pump (refer priming instructions).
Pump Service
Pump should only be serviced by qualified personnel. For best
results, use only genuine Pentair factory parts. Be sure to prime
pump before starting.
Before removing clamp or trap cover:
1.
SWITCH OFF POWER to pump before proceeding.
2.
CLOSE SHUT-OFF VALVES in suction and discharge pipes.
3.
RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system.
4.
NEVER tighten or loosen clamp while pump is operating!
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to motor
and remove plug from power outlet before working on pump or motor.
No lubrication or regular maintenance is needed beyond reasonable care and
periodic cleaning of strainer basket. When pump is not in use and there is a risk
of frost, empty it completely through the drain plug.
If shaft seal is worn or damaged, repair as per the procedure on page 11.
