Maintenance
Perform a periodic inspection at least twice a year. Before inspecting/servicing pump, follow
all warnings outlined in the Warnings and Safeguards sheet inside the front cover of this
manual.
Remove Water from Tank
After every fill-up, check your tanks for water. Remove any water with a sump pump.
Clean the Dial Face
Use a soft, clean, damp cloth as needed.
Preserve the Pump’s Finish
Clean all painted surfaces at regular intervals with a high grade automobile polish and protect
with a coat of paste wax. Do not use abrasive cleaners or polish. Do not use high-pressure
spraying equipment.
For stainless steel cabinets, wash with mild detergent or soap and water followed by a clean
water rinse. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Stubborn stains, such as oil or grease will require a
stronger cleaner. DO NOT use steel wool. Always clean in the direction of the polishing lines
in the steel, never across them. In hard water areas, wipe the surface dry with a soft clean cloth
to prevent spotting. Protect the finish with a coat of paste wax.
Check and Change Filter
If applicable, check and change the filter at regular intervals.
Clean the Strainer
Clean the strainer immediately after the pump has been installed and tested, and again after a
few hundred gallons have been delivered. Thereafter, once every six months, or as required.
The symptoms of a dirty or clogged strainer in a pump are slow delivery, noisy operation, and
pulsation.
To clean the strainer, turn off AC power to the pump. Locate the Suction Strainer Cap on the
plumbing unit and unscrew it to access and remove the strainer. Use compressed air to blow
the dirt out of the strainer. Always wear protective safety goggles or glasses when using
compressed air.
