PUMP MAINTENANCE
WINTERIZATION
• The pump requires little to no maintenance other than reasonable care
and cleaning of the strainer basket on a regular basis. The pump is
equipped with a mechanical seal. This seal may eventually come loose
of a period of time, depending on running time and water quality. If water
continually leaks out, a new mechanical seal should be installed.
• See parts diagram for seal location.
• The pump is equipped with a rubber O-Ring that seals the strainer basket
lid. This O-Ring should be lubricated with water proof lubricant
(O-RING LUBE) to ensure proper seal and extend O-Ring life.
If O-Ring becomes cracked or worn (flattened) is will become necessary
to replace.
• In areas subject to freezing temperatures, it is recommended that the
pump be disconnected and stored indoors in a warm and dry location.
Remove the drain plugs from the pump housing and place them in the
strainer basket for storage.
