QUARTERLY PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SERVICES

The pump is fitted with a flapper (check) valve to prevent water from completely draining from the

suction line. Any damage to the flapper face or seat will allow the suction line to drain each time the pump is

stopped, and debris or dirt on the face or seat will also allow the suction line to drain.

The drive spline is a precision unit for transmitting power of the engine to the pump shaft. Dirt,

dust, or rust can impair the serviceability of the drive spline and coupling unit.

Frequent running of the unit for short periods of time does not allow the alternator to keep the

battery at full strength.

During operation observe for leaks and any unusual noise or vibration.
