SERVICING YOUR SUBMERSIBLE PUMP
Pump should be disconnected from the electric power supply before proceeding to do
any service or maintenance.
To service or repair your pump, please contact your local BJM Pumps distributor.
Service should only be performed by a qualified electrician.
The design of the “F” series
high temperature pump models is unique and requires specific knowledge to perform
the proper assembly. BJM Pumps recommends that all electrical service work be
performed at the factory or by a factory trained and certified repair technician to insure
that the materials and assembly methods meet BJM standards.
MAINTAINING YOUR PUMP

Pump must be disconnected from the electric power supply before proceeding to
do any service or maintenance.

Pump should be inspected at regular intervals for wear.

More frequent inspections are required if the pump is used in a harsh
environment, such as pumping abrasive solids or high/low PH water.

Preventative maintenance should be performed to reduce the chance of
premature failure.

Worn impeller wear plates and lip seals should be replaced.

Cut or cracked power cords must be replaced. (Never operate a pump with a
cut, cracked or damaged power cord.)
