Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This kit is designed exclusively for Pacer Pumps 'S' series polyester pumps that are equipped with EPDM seals. Ensure your pump model and existing seal material match this specification before purchasing or installation. It is not compatible with pumps using other seal materials like Viton or Buna-N.
Setup:
- Turn off and disconnect power to the pump.
- Carefully remove the existing plug and O-ring from the drain/fill port.
- Clean the port area thoroughly to remove any debris or old sealant.
- Lubricate the new EPDM O-ring with a compatible lubricant (e.g., silicone grease) to ease installation and ensure a better seal.
- Install the new O-ring onto the plug.
- Insert the plug back into the drain/fill port, ensuring it is seated correctly and tightened securely.
- Reconnect power and test the pump for leaks.
Care:
- Inspect the O-ring and plug regularly for signs of wear, cracking, or damage. Replace as needed.
- Keep the plug and O-ring clean. Store them in a clean, dry place when not in use.
- Avoid exposing the EPDM components to petroleum-based oils or solvents, as this can degrade the material.
