4.15 Covers

See Graphic: wc_gr003210

DO NOT open the covers or reach into the pump while the engine is
running! The spinning impeller could cause a severe injury.

DO NOT run the pump with any of the covers open or missing.

Drain/Priming Cover:

Clean-out covers are located on the top 

(a) 

and bottom 

(b)

 of the

pump. The top cover is also used to add water to the pump housing for
priming. To open a cover, loosen the knob and swing the cover to the
side.

Grease the rubber gasket under each cover occasionally to prevent it
from sticking to the metal and tearing.

Impeller Cover:

The impeller cover 

(c)

 can be removed to clean the pump, set the

impeller clearance, and inspect the pump interior.

To remove the impeller cover and elbow:

4.15.1

Turn the inner star wheel 

(d) 

in until it is seated tightly against the

impeller cover.

4.15.2

Turn the outer star wheel 

(e) 

in until the cover is pulled out of the

housing.

4.15.3

When the impeller cover is free of the housing, rotate the clamp 

(f)

counterclockwise and pull the impeller cover from the housing.

To install the impeller:

4.15.4

Place the impeller cover assembly into the housing with the arrow on
the casting pointing up. Rotate the clamp 

(f)

 into position.

4.15.5

Turn the outer star wheel out until it is seated against the end of the
threaded shaft 

(g)

.

4.15.6

Turn the inner star wheel out to push the impeller cover into the
housing. Hand tighten the inner star only!

4.15.7
