Do not use oil or grease! Lubricating the pump will cause problems.
Inspect the strainer from time to time.
Inspect the brass valve. Blow into it and test its function.
If you have to rinse the pump cyclinder or the piston, dismantle the brass valve and the float, and pull the piston-rod downwards.
Should a foreign particle enter the piston take a soft cloth and wipe the piston. Should any particle attach to the piston take a piece of sandpaper (200 or higher) and rub gently to remove. Be sure the piston is wiped clean.
Never Lubricate
Following these simple guidelines will extend the life of your Smart Bilge Pump!
