The drain hose must have a loop at a
minimum
height of 32 inches
in order to insure proper
drainage.
The main pump can easily be removed by
disconnecting the upper spray arm supply tube
hose,the drain pumpconnector hose, thewiring
harness connections made at the circulation
motor, the water heat thermistor located on the
bottom of the pump and rotating the four sump
retainers toward the middle of the sump.
PumpAssembly
The pump assembly is driven by a synchronous
motor. Rotation is in the counterclockwise
directionat3600RPM. The motor drives apump
which supplies 100 percent filtered water at a
rate of approximately 12 GPM to one spray arm
atatime.Thesprayarm’soperationisalternated
by small “pauses” of the motor during the wash
cycle.
Draining is accomplished by using a small
separate synchronous drain pump mounted to
the side of the sump. The drain pump is
connected to the main pump by a small rubber
hose. The drain check valve is located at the
dischargeendofthe drain pump. The drain hose
