MAINTAINING YOUR PUMP
Lubrication
It is not necessary to lubricate the pump or its motor. The motor
bearings are lubricated for life. The mechanical shaft seal in the
pump is water lubricated and self-adjusting.
Draining for Winter
When the pump is to be disconnected from service, or is in dan-
ger of freezing, it must be drained. The pump has a dmincock
which must be opened. Remove the priming plug to vent the
pump. Drain the pressure tank. Drain all piping to a point below
the freezing hne.
To drain an air volume control (AVC), remove the tubing Turn the
AVC upside down. This will permit any water to drain into tank.
