CAUTION
Beware of water hammering
Do not allow any vehicle to run over the delivery hose.
Do not close the delivery valve

For engine manual and notes, please refer to Engine Operation Manual enclosed.
1. Turn the knob counterclock-wise and remove the knob.
2. Pull the handle towards you, and then both front cover
and volute casing can be removed.
3. Remove the peripheral plug before taking impeller out.
The impeller can be detached by prying loose
with a rod or the like.
4. Draw out the mechanical seal from the engine shaft
along with the sleeve.
NOTE: Please do not hammer an impeller directly when you want to take it out from
the machine. It might damage the impeller.
Instead, take out the plug set first and then insert something like a rod or tool
which is thin enough to get through the hole and hammer the rod or tool at
the other end. The impeller can be removed out easily without damaging it.
NOTE: When assembling the parts, do not forget to place the adjusting washer,
O-ring, etc., in the right positions. Also, correctly install the front cover
and evenly tighten the right and left knobs.
Note that incomplete assembling may affect the performance of the unit.
