shorter
Inspect cooling system for leaks. Sample coolant and check to ensure coolant
meets minimum coolant quality requirements. Before removing the pump, evaluate
the leak using the methods outlined in the physical inspection of this document.
Every three months or more
often if conditions are harsh*
Visually inspect exterior of pump and ensure weep holes are not clogged by debris.
Check wires for wear or frayed insulation. Ensure all electrical connections are
tight.
Ensure connections are tightened to proper torque rating. Ensure all wires and pin
connections are intact. Inspect support structure for any damage or loose
hardware.
+ Inspections should also be conducted after any service to the unit.
