WINTERIZING YOUR PUMP

The WP300 Submersible Pump cannot freeze as long as it remains submerged and in operation at the pump site in which it was originally installed. The discharge hose MUST BE FREE FROM any obstructions or damages that can cause the improper discharge of water.

If the pump is removed from this pump site, perform the following steps to winterize your pump:

1. Completely drain and dry off the pump, hoses and any other exposed components to prevent damage to the pump.

2. Store in areas where temperatures do not fall below 32ºF or 0ºC.

3. If the pump has been exposed to freezing temperatures, it must be thawed prior to operation.

DO NOT thaw over any open flames or similar methods.This will lead to O-Rings and other components being damaged!

If you have any questions concerning the maintenance and operations of this unit, please do not hesitate to contact your local dealer.

DO NOT attempt servicing or performing any maintenance procedures outlined in this manual unless technician is qualified and clear on the task's requirements.
