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.
