MAINTENANCE

WARNING
Make certain that unit is disconnected from power source before attempting to service or remove any component.
POWER CORD REPLACEMENT
Periodically inspect power cord and replace whenever abrasion, cracking, softening, or other signs of deterioration are found.
Refer to Figures 1 and 2.

1. Place unit on workbench in upright position. Clean dirt and rust from around wire cover (R, No. ).

2. Remove two fasteners (Ref. No. 2) which hold cord retainer (Ref. No. 1).

3. Remove four fasteners (Ref. No. 8) which hold wire cover in place.

4. Carefully pry cover from unit with screwdriver.
   IMPORT A NT: Be careful to keep rust and other debris from falling into motor housing during cover removal.

5. Take note of proper wire configuration, and connect new power cord (Ref.No. 1) in identical fashion. If unsure about above information or wiring diagrams, consult an electrician familiar with motor wiring.

6. Clean sealing flanges if necessary and reassemble pump in reverse order.

IMPELLER INSPECTION / REPLACEMENT
If pump develops poor performance characteristics, impeller may be worn or ©°99¢d:

IMPELLER INSPECTION

Refer to Figure 2.
1. Place unit on workbench in horizontal position and clean rust and buildup from around pump-to-motor flange.
2. Remove three fasteners (Ref. No. 42) to free screen (Ref. No. 41).
3. Remove three fasteners (Ref. No. 40) and use screwdriver to pry base (Ref. No. 39) from pump assembly.
4. Inspect impeller (Ref. No. 37).
If clog is found, remove debris and reassemble in reverse order.
If damage to impeller is found, such as pitting, deep grooves, or breakage, proceed to next section.
IMPELLER REPLACEMENT

1. Remove impeller fastener (Ref. No. 38) by unscrewing in counterclockwise direction.
   NOTE: To prevent motor shaft from turning, wedge a screwdriver between impeller vane and impeller fastener (see Figure 1).

2. JUnthread the impeller from the motor shaft/rotor (Ref. No. 24).

3. Install replacement impeller and reassemble in reverse order.

Submersible Pumps

MECHANICAL SEAL REPLACEMENT

Motor internals are protected from contact with liquid being pumped by a mechanical shaft seal and oil cavity. When seal wears out, potential motor life will be compromised. Therefore, periodic seal replacement is recommended.
Time interval between replacements will depend on abrasiveness of liquid being pumped, temperature, total accumulated runtime, etc.
IMPORTANT: Always replace the mechanical seal (Ref. No. 30) at same time to insure proper mating of components.
Refer to Figure 2.

1. Disassemble pump by following directions in both “Power Cord Replacement” and “Impeller Inspection / Replacement” sections.

2. With uniton it’s side and wire cover, pump assembly and impeller removed from shaft/rotor.

3. Clean rust and buildup from unit.

4. Drain oil from seal cavity by removing drain plug (Ref. No. 29). Then tip components overtop of a catch pan until oil is drained.

5. Remove four fasteners which attach casing (Ref. No. 29) to motor case and pry two components apart with screwdriver.

6. Press on end of motor shaft to separate from motor case. Then carefully guide upper end bell (Ref. No. 14) along with shaft/rotor and bearing assembly out of motor case. Shaft seal head will now be free.
   IMPORTANT: Shaft seal head (with spring) may have unique ends, and two seal seats may be different from one another also. Be sure to note size and color of each before disassembly so that new parts are installed in proper orientation.

7. Remove upper seal seat (Ref. No. 30) from motor case by using a screwdriver or dowel to press on seal from rear. Do the same for lower seal seat in casing.

8. Clean seal seat cavities before inserting new seals.

9. Carefully wipe polished surface of new seal seats with a clean cloth.

10. Wet outside of rubber portion of seal seats with a light coating of soapy water.

11. Press each new seal seat squarely into cavity in both motor case and casing. If seal seat does not press squarely into cavity, it can be adjusted into place by pushing on it carefully with a piece of pipe or dowel. Always use a piece of cardboard between pipe and seal seat to avoid scratching seal seat. (This is a lapped surface and must be handled very carefully.)

12. After each seal seat is in place, insure that it is clean and has not been marred.

13. Using a clean cloth, wipe shaft and make certain that it is perfectly clean.

14. Carefully guide motor shaft through seal seat and use a press to seat bearing back into motor case.

15. Apply a light coating of soapy water to inside rubber portion of seal head and slide onto shaft (be sure to start correct end first).

16. Place casing back onto motor housing being careful to guide shaft and avoid damage to seal seat. Secure with fasteners.

17. Press lip seal back in place.

18. Refill cavity with oil through fill hole and reassemble in reverse order.
