Service And Repair

• Service and repair work on this pump must be per-
formed by qualified repair personnel. Pump should
be taken to a RIDGID Independent Authorized
Service Center or returned to the factory. All
repairs made by Ridge service facilities are war-
ranted against defects in material and workman-
ship.
• When servicing this pump, only identical replace-
ment parts should be used. Failure to follow these
steps may create a risk of flooding, property dam-
age, fatal electrical shock, or other serious injury
and may also void your warranty.

Troubleshooting

Let the pump cool for a minimum of two hours before servicing because the pump contains hot oil under
pressure. Disconnect pump from power source before servicing.
