WARNING: Before servicing pump, turn off pump and drain water from system.
Annual Checks
•
Whale advise that the boat's plumbing system is checked annually for leaks and obstructions.
Also a pump electrics check is advisable.
•
Before inspecting or replacing the diaphragm, disconnect the electrical supply.
Optimal Performance
•
Ensure this product is clear of debris
IF THE PUMP IS NOT OPERATING AS EXPECTED:-
•
Loosen the hose clips to release the pump from plumbing.
•
Unscrew the Ezi-clamp clamping ring to release the pump head - see Fig 4
•
This will release the pump head, and allow easy access to the valves & diaphragm.
•
The diaphragm and valves should be checked for any excessive wear, damage or cracks,
and should be replaced if necessary (service kit AK2050 - replacement pump head).
Cleaning
Gulper® IC and accessories should be wiped clean regularly to maintain optimal performance and
ensure no clogging occurs. WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners.
