The pump motor housing contains a special lubricating oil.
Keep oil clean and free of water at all times.
NOTICE: Whenever motor cover is being removed for
service, remove oil and replace with new oil at reassembly.
Use only oil listed in parts list (Part No. U197-8A). When
filling with new oil, DO NOT overfill. To allow room for
expansion, oil level with cold motor should be about 1/4'' (6
mm) above top of motor assembly.
Impeller and Seal Replacement
Risk of electrical shock. Disconnect
electrical power before doing any service work on pump!
Refer to assembly drawing.
Disassembly
1. Unscrew hex-head cap screws, remove motor assembly
from volute and set it on its side in a clean area.
2. Remove oil plug. Turn pump upside down to drain oil.
3. Hold impeller; remove impeller nut and washer.
4. Unscrew impeller (turn counter-clockwise) for cleaning.
5. Loosen cord nut and gently pull cord assembly out from
