acorn hex nut or attempt to adjust the relief
valve setting.

2. Remove the G3503-[ ] cooler from the Power Wave

machine.

3. Clean the pump’s inlet strainer:

• Drain the reservoir of coolant and dispose of it

in an environmentally responsible manner (see
Recommended Coolants).

• Place absorbent towels underneath pump

head.

• Hold pump head to apply countertorque when

loosening strainer’s 7/8 acorn nut. Do not con-
fuse with 3/4 acorn nut. Remove nut and slide
inlet strainer down and out from pump head.

• Gently rinse strainer under running water to

thoroughly clean it.

• Use the mirror to inspect inside of pump for

contamination. Carefully remove hardened
debris with dental pick if necessary, without
scratching inside of the pump.

• Reinstall strainer and acorn nut, tightening with

75±15 in.-lbs. of torque. Wipe dry all areas wet-
ted by coolant. Dispose of towels in an envi-
ronmentally responsible manner (see
Recommended Coolants).

4. Gently rinse the reservoir’s strainer under running

water to thoroughly clean it.

5. Remove fan shroud and inspect hoses and electrical

harnesses for kinking or damage (cut, abrasion,
swelling, etc.). Replace if necessary.

6. Remove accumulated dust from cooler, especially

from the motor and heat exchanger, by blowing it off
with shop air or vacuuming it out.

• The heat exchanger fins are sharp but can be

easily bent. Treat them with care to avoid per-
sonal injury and damaging them.

• Remove the cooler from the machine for a

more thorough cleaning job.

7. Motor lubrication is recommended once a year:

• Remove plug over lube port at top of motor

near fan end.

8. Flush coolant from the system and replace with

fresh, recommended coolant at least once a year.
More frequent flushing may be necessary, depend-
ing upon a user’s particular system or its usage.

NOTE: Never run the pump dry. Always use a recom-

mended coolant, otherwise pump damage may
result.
