Helpful Hints - Whale Bilge IC BP2082B Manual Del Usuario

14. MAINTENANCE
This Whale Gulper® IC is designed to only require minimal maintenance.
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 (Fig 3). 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
Bilge IC should be wiped clean regularly to maintain optimal performance and ensure no clogging
occurs. See Fig 12 and Fig 13 for cleaning Strainer IC. WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners.

15. HELPFUL HINTS

The unique ezi-clamp ring makes installation and maintenance of the pump easier with a retaining
screw which means the head can be fitted or replaced easily by one fitter, without the risk of
dropping screws.
16. TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING: DO NOT unscrew the rear section as interference with the internal electrics will render
the pump unfit for use - this is a non-serviceable part of the pump.
