TO REPLACE CAPACITORS ONLY
1. Remove oil fill plug near the top of motor housing
and pour oil out.
2. Loosen the cord nut on power cord until
cord is loose enough to push cord down into
motor housing.
3. Remove four bolts from motor housing and bump
housing with a plastic hammer to loosen. Lay
pump on its side.
4. Remove the housing carefully to be sure that
enough cord is pushed into the housing so as not
to create tension on cord.
5. Slide motor housing up far enough to expose the
capacitors and to be able to lay the housing down.
6. Disconnect wiring from capacitor and loosen
capacitor clamp and slide capacitor out. Replace
with new capacitor, tighten clamp and reconnect.
7. Check all wiring connectors to be sure they
are secure.
8. Be sure tetraseal gasket is in place.
9. Slide motor housing back onto pump while pulling
the cord out slowly. Assemble motor housing with
four bolts.
10. Reassemble cord nut. Be sure washers are seated
and cord is pulled up against the washers. Tighten
