Preventative maintenance for the AM is simple. Follow these steps to allow the unit to operate efficiently.
1.Clean the condenser once a year using a brush or vacuum.
2.Check and clean the inlet water valve screen as needed to assure proper water flow.
*Remember that the original fitting is a 3/4” BSP and the use of a standard MPT fitting will damage the threads. In May of 2003, this fitting was changed to 3/8” male flare . After August and September of 2003, this fitting was changed to a 1/2" FPT.
3.Clean and sanitize the water distribution system annually using the recommended cleaner. (See the next page for detailed information on cleaning the water system)
4.Wipe down the exterior using a soft cloth and neutral cleaner.
The AM series uses a magnetic pump. This style of pump allows the water portion of the pump to be completely sealed from the motor. This eliminates the need for a mechanical seal and eliminates the possibility of water entering the pump through the pump end.
If the pump does not pump and is being energized then remove the four screws from the front of the pump and check for any debris that may be binding the impeller
