PUMP MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR - SECTION E
GENERAL INFORMATION
Review all SAFETY information in Section A.
Do not attempt to service the pump as­
sembly unless all power to the motor
has been shut off at the control box;
otherwise, injury or death could result.
Use a lifting device with sufficient ca­
pacity. If slings or chains are used to
move the pump or components, make
sure that the load is balanced; other­
wise serious personal injury or death
could result.
The maintenance and repair instructions in this
manual are keyed to the illustrations, Figures E-1
and E-2, and the corresponding parts lists.
Select a suitable location, preferably indoors, to
perform required maintenance. All work must be
performed by qualified personnel.
Check TROUBLESHOOTING, Section B to deter­
mine causes and remedies of pump problems.
Disassemble the pump only as far as required.
Lifting
Pump unit weights will vary depending on the
mounting and drive provided. Check the shipping
tag on the unit packaging for the actual weight, and
use lifting equipment with appropriate capacity.
Drain the pump and remove all customer‐installed
equipment such as suction and discharge hoses
or piping before attempting to lift existing, installed
units.
