Maintenance Tips

• Verify Compatibility: Ensure the pump matches your system's specifications, including voltage (115V), horsepower (1/6 HP), and pressure rating (125 PSI).

• Use Provided Gaskets: Always install the pump with the two O-ring flange gaskets provided by Taco. Failure to use these gaskets will void the warranty.

• Install Isolation Valves: Place isolation valves on both the suction and discharge lines to facilitate future maintenance or replacement without draining the system.

• Check for Leaks: Regularly inspect the pump for any signs of leakage, especially around the mechanical seal.

• Monitor Operating Conditions: Operate within the specified temperature range (up to 240°F) and pressure limits (up to 125 PSI) to prevent premature wear.

• Lubricate Bearings: If applicable, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for bearing lubrication to reduce friction and wear.

• Inspect Couplings and Seals: Regularly examine mechanical seals and coupling devices for signs of wear or failure, replacing them as needed.

• Ensure Proper Alignment: Verify that the pump and motor shafts are correctly aligned to prevent undue stress on components.
