PUMP MAINTENANCE
1) Remove the pump from the fountain as explained in the Fountain
Disassembly and Cleaning section (Steps #4-6).
2) Once the pump is out of the fountain, with your thumb and forefinger,
gently squeeze on either side of the intake plate and pull off. It may be
necessary to insert a fingernail into the seam of the intake plate to pry it off.
3) Remove the stator by placing your fingernail under the small lip located on
the narrow side of tear drop shaped stator and pull out (Fig. 12a & 12b).
4) Once the stator is removed, remove the impeller (3 white- bladed
propeller). The impeller is held in place magnetically, simply insert
a fingernail or other slim object underneath the plastic blade and lift
out (Fig. 13, next page)
