❏ Verify for collapsed suction hose or plugged suction line
❏ Verify for liquid supply too far away or too far below pump (more than 20 feet)
❏ Worn out or damaged impeller
❏ Severe abrasive wear of volute plate or pump body. Remove pump cover to access these parts. Proceed
carefully to avoid damaging the “0” ring.

❏ The shaft motor seal is generally good for the life of the pump. When shaft seal leaks, it is because
enough abrasives have been pumped to wear deep grooves in the shaft under the seal. In this
situation, the purchase of a whole unit will cost less than repairs (motor and pump).
❏ Brush replacement is done quickly and easily. Unscrew brush cover, then
remove spring and worn brush. Insert the replacement brush and spring kit in
the same position and replace brush cover. Never drop oil in brush area. This
may damage the motor and void warranty.
❏ Impeller replacement is also easy to do. Remove pump cover screws and
cover. Remove worn impeller. Clean out inside of pump body and examine the
volute plate. If worn, turn over. Wipe a small quantity of oil and install the
replacement impeller by twisting in clockwise direction. This will blend the
blades in place. Using screws, replace pump cover. Do not overtight.
