WM81 PUMP SHIELD 5KG SMARTDRIVE – September 1996 - Phases 1 to 4

Under some conditions, especially with over sudsing or splash over, water can run down the side of the 5kg Smartdrive outer bowl and drip directly onto the pump bracket causing the pump to corrode or burn out.

A shield has been designed that can clip into place above the pump bracket to protect the pump from water damage.

When servicing any 5kg Smartdrive, without a shield, for pump related problems a shield should be fitted. The shield is available under p.n. 426292.

To fit the shield remove the inspection hatch, make sure the legs of the drain hose clamp are facing towards the centre of Smartdrive, apply a small amount of silicone sealant to the shield where it clips onto the outer bowl, hook the shield onto the back pillar above the pump bracket then clip the shield into place by pushing the front clip section onto the front pillar above the pump bracket.
