Maintenance Instructions
MODEL: P-1/15
DISASSEMBLY
1. Insert a screwdriver through the center hole at the end of the
housing to remove the head. Pull with a rocking motion to
remove. Head O-ring can easily be replaced.
2. Unscrew the three (3) fan cover screws and remove the fan
cover. With the pump in a horizontal position, hold the fan
with one hand or insert a screwdriver in the center motor slot
and unscrew the impeller counterclockwise using ngers or
the handle end of a pair of pliers.
3. Placing the pump vertical with the motor on top, carefully
bend down one fan blade in order to expose the motor
screw. Remove motor screw. Rotate the fan 180 degrees
to expose second motor screw and remove. Motor and
housing are now separated. Do not try to remove shaft as
this is an integral piece with the motor rotor. Lip seal can be
replaced.
ASSEMBLY
1. (New Motor) Remove fan cover and bend down one fan
blade. (See Disassembly). Remove existing motor screws
from new motor and exchange with screws from motor being
replaced.
2. With the housing in a vertical position, mounting bracket
on top, place motor shaft into housing. The cord should be
180 degrees from the outlet. Screw the motor screws into
the holes at the top of the pump housing. The motor screws
should not be overtightened.
3. Insert the impeller into the housing. With one hand on the
fan and the other on the impeller, turn the impeller clockwise
with ngers or handle end of a pair of pliers until impeller
bottoms out.
4. Place the pump upright resting on the motor. Look down
into the housing and, while rotating the impeller, check to
see that the impeller is centered. The impeller must not
be touching the side of the housing. If the impeller is not
centered, hold the motor with one hand and tap the housing
with the mallet in the direction necessary to clear the hous-
ing.
5. Finish screwing the two motor screws. Bend fan blade back
to normal position. Replace the fan cover. Insert the three
(3) fan cover screws and tighten. Spin the impeller to check
that the fan is not rubbing against the cover and fan blade is
properly in place. (Do not operate pump until motor fan and
pump impeller have been checked for position.)
6. Wet head and head O-ring. Be sure head O-ring is properly
in place. Place head and head O-ring into housing. The
threaded nipple should be tapped with a mallet until bottom-
ing out in the housing.

DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the front snap ring at the end of the housing
using a screwdriver or a pair of pliers.
2. Insert appropriate threaded pipe through the center hole
at the end of the housing to remove the head. Pull with
a rocking motion to remove. Head O-ring can easily be
replaced.
3. Take the plug out from the back of the fan cover or
drip shield. Insert a screwdriver in the slot of the motor
shaft and unscrew the impeller counterclockwise using
ngers or the handle end of a pair of pliers.
4. Remove the four (4) motor bolts located beneath the
motor bracket. Motor and housing are now separated.
Do not try to remove shaft as this is an integral piece
with the motor rotor. Slinger and lip seal can be re-
placed.
ASSEMBLY
1. With the motor in a vertical position, shaft upwards,
place housing over shaft, lining up motor bolt holes in
mounting bracket with holes in the motor. Be sure the
slinger is properly placed. Conduit box should be 180
degrees from the outlet. Screw the motor bolts into
the holes beneath the mounting bracket in a diagonal
sequence. Be sure motor screws are tight.
2. Insert the impeller into the housing. With one hand hold-
ing a screwdriver in the slot of the motor shaft and the
other on the impeller, turn the impeller clockwise with
ngers or handle end of a pair of pliers until impeller
bottoms out.
3. Place the pump upright resting on the motor. Look down
into the housing and while rotating the impeller, check to
see that the impeller is centered. The impeller must not
be touching the side of the housing.
4. Replace plug in the back of the fan cover or drip shield.
5. Wet head and head O-ring. Be sure head O-ring is
properly in place. Insert appropriate threaded pipe
into head and replace into housing. The threaded pipe
should be tapped with a mallet, pushing the head into
the housing until it bottoms out. On Models P-1/2 and
