IMPELLER REPLACEMENT
1.
Turn off power to the pump, disconnect the
discharge piping, and lift the pump out of the
sump BY THE HANDLE ON TOP OF THE MOTOR
(not by the cord).
2.
Invert the pump and secure it from tipping.
3.
Remove the three screws holding the motor to
the base and lift the motor off the base
(Figure 8).
Do not remove the seal plate, as
the motor is full of oil and will spill.
4.
Hold the motor shaft with a screwdriver and
unscrew the impeller as shown (Figure 9). The
impeller has a left-hand thread, so it loosens to
the right (

after it is assembled and reinstalled. It should
operate correctly and you should not hear any
sounds of scraping or dragging from the pump.
