Maintenance; Periodic Service - Franklin Electric FPS IGP-A Serie Manuel Du Propriétaire

4. Ensure the pump and its control switch are functioning as intended.
NOTE: When these pumps are installed in a basin with a sealed cover, switch operation is not usually
immediately observable. The basin cover will typically have a spare hole that is plugged with a rubber
plug. This plug can be removed to view switch operation.
5. Make sure no potential obstructions exist that could inhibit switch operation.
6. Verify that there are no leaks in the pump discharge plumbing.
NOTE: It is normal for a stream of water to spray from the air bleed hole in the pump's plumbing. Con-
firm that this spray is captured within the basin.
7. Allow the pump to operate through several ON/OFF cycles.

MAINTENANCE

Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock, high temperatures, or
pressurized fluids.
• Let pump cool for a minimum of 2 hours before attempting to service. Submersible pumps can
become pressurized and hot under normal operating conditions.
Risk of personal injury or damage to pump or other equipment.
• Before working on pump, always disconnect pump power cord in addition to shutting off circuit
breaker or removing the fuse. Always wear eye protection.
• This pump is equipped with a cutting mechanism that has very sharp edges. Use caution when
working on or near these parts.
• Do not remove motor housing seal plate screws or top motor housing screws. The motor section of
the pump is permanently lubricated with dielectric oil and sealed at the factory. Removal of these
screws by anyone other than an authorized service center will break the seal and void the warranty.

Periodic Service

Periodic service of the pump should only be done by certified or licensed professionals. Inspect the pump
system condition and operation every three months—more frequently in heavy use applications.
1. Disconnect power.
NOTE: In applications where screw type fuses are used, remove using only one hand while the other
hand and torso are free from contact with anything.
2. Check the power cords and electrical outlet/control panel for damage or corrosion.
• If the pump cord is damaged, replace the entire pump.
• If the electrical outlet/control panel is damaged or corroded, a licensed electrician must replace
the affected parts.
3. Remove all debris (gravel, sand, floating debris, etc.) from the basin.
4. Check the pump system components (basin, pump, switch, etc.) for any build-up (sludge, sediment,
minerals, etc.) that would inhibit functionality of the components.
• If significant, remove build-up or replace affected components.
5. Confirm that all flexible coupling hose clamps are fully engaged with plumbing and fully tightened.
6. Test operation of the pump system. Refer to "Operation" on page 6.
