Step 6
Clean Rotor Shaft & Rotor Ports
Liberaly apply Airmax D-Scale to the rotor, and if
possible, use a rigid wire (6a) or small T-handle wrench
to clear any debris that may be plugging the rotor shaft
and rotor ports (6b). Clearing the rotor is important as
it assures proper water ow in and out of the motor for
cooling and lubrication (6c).
Step 7
Begin Reassembly
When ready to reassemble the unit, be sure that the
motor O-ring is seated properly (it can be cleaned
beforehand if necessary). At this stage, it is also helpful
to coat the O-ring, rotor, and stator with a light silicone
lubricant if possible. Coating with silicone lubricant is
more important when winterizing than it is when the
pump is going to be placed back in the pond within the
next 24 to 48 hours.
NOTE: Do not use lithium grease or other heavy
lubricants.
