SERVICING YOUR SUBMERSIBLE PUMP
Pump should be disconnected from the electric power supply before proceeding to do
any service or maintenance.
The design of the “F” Series high temperature pump models is unique and requires
specific knowledge to perform the proper assembly. BJM Pumps recommends that all
electrical service work be performed at the factory, or by a factory trained and certified
repair technician, to insure that the materials and assembly methods meet BJM
standards.
