MAINTENANCE
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock, high temperatures, or
pressurized fluids.
• To minimize risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or around the system.
• Do not continuously run pump against closed discharge. Release all system pressure before working on any component.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• Do not let the unit run dry (without liquid). It is designed to be cooled by pumping fluid. The seal may be damaged and the
motor may fail if the pump is allowed to run dry.
• Drain the pump, water tanks, and all piping exposed to freezing temperatures.
NOTE: For replacement parts, visit www.franklinwater.com.

2. Release pump pressure.
3. Partially unscrew the needle pin on the filling plug.
4. Completely remove the drain and priming cap.
5. Allow the water to drain.
6. Fully tighten the drain and priming cap and the needle pin on the filling plug.

Periodic Service
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• Periodic service of the pump should only be done by certified or licensed professionals. Inspect the pump system condition
and operation after the first 500 hours of work and every month after—more frequently in heavy use applications.
NOTE: Check guards and safety devices daily for proper operation.
1. Observe the unit during normal operation to notice any odd noises, vibrations, loose or rubbing parts,
etc.
• Service immediately if any unusual noise, leaks, or vibrations develop.
2. Disconnect power.
3. Check the power cords and electrical outlet/control panel for damage or corrosion.
• If the pump cord is damaged, replace pump.
• If the electrical outlet/control panel is damaged or corroded, employ a licensed electrician to
replace the affected parts.
4. Check for seal wear indicators.
• Remove a cover guard.
• Inspect the shaft passage for any liquid leaks.
