: PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
OVERVIEW
Hale SM Series Pumps require minimal care and maintenance. Pre-
ventive maintenance tasks take little time to perform and consist prima-
rily of leak testing, lubrication and cleaning.
The procedures supplied in this section are for normal use under
normal operating conditions. Extreme conditions may indicate a need
for increased maintenance and the additional measures needed to
ensure lengthened pump life and continuing dependability.
This section provides recommended actions to be completed after each
use, weekly, monthly and annually.
POST-OPERATION

washers in the suction tube caps.
2. Remove any foreign matter from the hose and coupling.
3. Replace worn, damaged, or dry washers.
4. Verify all discharge valves, drain valves and drain cocks are
closed.
5. Tighten the suction caps.
EXTREME CONDITIONS
Extreme conditions occur when the pump has been operated during
freezing weather or when pumping from a water source that contains
material that is harmful to the pump if not purged.
