Maintenance
Regular inspection of valves
and seals is recommended
with cleaning and replace-
ment of components as
necessary.
Replacement parts are
available in service kits and
assemblies from dealers or
direct from the manufac-
turer.
Note: For winter storage,
ensure that the pump is
drained completely to avoid
frost damage.
Helpful hints
a) The pump can be serv-
iced using Service Kit
AK1304 which contains the
complete set of washers for
the Mk3 and Mk4 pump.
b) If the pump is slow to
prime, the cup washer may
be worn or valves are not
seating properly. Check and
replace these if necessary
using Service Kit AK1304.
c) If the pump will not pump:
- check that the suction line
is in the water.
- check that the hose con-
nections are secure and
there are no air leaks.
- check the washers in the
pump, they may need to be
replaced.
- if the outlet is an on/off
faucet or tap, make sure
that it is open to allow water
to flow.
d) If the pump is leaking, it is
likely that the gland washer
is worn. A replacement for
this part is contained in
Service Kit AK1304.
Read carefully before
