If the unit stands idle for a long time before being installed in your
factory, gaskets can dry out and possibly leak when you start the
unit. In most cases, these gaskets soon swell and form a tight seal.
If not, you may need to tighten the bolts to stop the leak.
Similarly, rough handling in shipping may sometimes cause minor
leaks upon startup; you may need to re-tighten bolts or fittings
to stop the leak.
You should expect to periodically replace the pump seal. If the
pump is properly lubricated and used at moderate temperatures, the
seal should last several years. The following section describes the
proper procedures for replacing the seal (Mechanical seal, part no.
162-00030-160). Periodic replacement of the pump drive V-belt is
also to be expected.
Note: If the pump motor wiring is disconnected for removal from
the unit, you must check the actual direction of rotation
when the motor is rewired to the unit. Consult Elementary
Diagram provided in unit for more information.
