Cord Replacement
Hazardous voltage. Unplug pump before working on or servicing pump. Don’t attempt to modify the cord or plug; these instructions are ONLY for replacement of cord.
1.Unplug the pump.
2.Unscrew the two screws holding the cord plate to the back of the motor. Pull the cord gently out of the motor cavity.
3.Cut the existing wires on the motor side of the crimps, as close to the connectors as possible (in other words, leave yourself as much wire in the motor as possible).
4.Strip all the wires back about 5/8” from the wire ends.
NOTE: Make connections with wire nuts designed for connecting 2 #16 AWG wires (see the wire nut package).
5.Connect the green (ground) wire from the cord to the green (ground) wire from the motor. Connect the black (hot) wire from the cord to either black wire from the motor. Connect the white (neutral) wire from the cord to the remaining black wire from the motor.
6.After you have made the connections, check all con- nections carefully to be sure that no bare copper shows. If you see any bare wire, disconnect the wire nut and remake that connection.
7.Once you are sure that there is no exposed wire, carefully stuff the wire and wire nuts back into the cavity in the motor.
8.Hold the cord plate up against the motor and rein- stall the screws. Tighten thoroughly but do not over- tighten!
9.Once assembly is complete, SET THE PUMP DOWN (that is, don’t touch it) and plug it in (very briefly, to avoid damaging the shaft seal) to make sure that everything is correctly connected and nothing is shorted.
10. The pump is ready for operation.
Motor Brush Replacement (See Brush Changing Procedure, page 7:
Replace brushes when they wear down to 3/8" (9.5mm) length.
1.Unplug pump from power outlet.
2.Unscrew brush caps and remove brushes. NOTICE: Pull brushes straight out of holders, being careful not to stretch springs. If reusing same brushes, mark brush and brush cap for replacement to original position.
3.Install new brushes and brush caps.
NOTICE: When reinstalling same brushes that were removed, replace on same side of motor they were on originally. Match curve on ends of brushes to curve on commutator.
