operation be inspected twice a year and pumps
in continuous operation be inspected every
1,000 hours. The following is a listing of required
inspection and maintenance items. (Refer to
shop manual for disassembly and reassembly
procedures).
If any of the problems described in the
following list exists stop operating the pump
to avoid damage or personal injury.
1. CABLE ENTRY

relief clamp are tight. If the cable entry is
showing signs of leakage remove cable from

so that the grommet seats on a new portion of
the cable, replace grommet, and reinstall cable
assembly, into the top of the motor.
2. CABLES
Inspect the cable for cuts, scrapes or sharp
bends. If the outer jacket is damaged, replace
the cable. Do not attempt splices within wetwells

between any phase and ground. Resistance
values should be greater than 1 M ohm. If
abnormal readings are obtained contact
