NOTE: All parts must be kept clean and free of scratches

(especially the shaft). A small bit of dirt caught under
a seal can cause a leak.

Replacement of Flapper Valve & Stainless Disk:

nut in place). Disconnect the water line. Disconnect electrical
connections (Model 6142 only).

2. Unscrew and remove adapter.

3. Place new flapper valve into the adapter.

4. If the shaft nut is out of the base, replace it with the word “up”

facing the pump base.

5. Add a thin film of petroleum jelly to the surface of the new

stainless disk. Center and place the disk in the shaft nut
recess. It should stay in place.

6. Screw on the adapter and hand tighten. Close the faucet.

Reconnect water and electrical.
