Water Pump

Service and repair operations for the water pump start with draining the engine cooling system while removing the degas bottle. The drive belt needs detachment first along with removal of the water pump pulley while additional bolts must be disassembled from it. Move on to the removal of generator machinery after securing the four bolts which lock the water pump into place. Application requires cleaning the surfaces and dry conditions followed by insertion of a fresh O-ring which should receive lubrication from a non-petroleum based product. Set the water pump in its designated position before placing the generator and secure the water pump pulley by adding bolts. The repair process ends by reattaching the drive belt and the degas bottle then filling and bleeding the cooling system.

The water pump servicing requires two initial steps: drainage of engine cooling fluids and degas bottle removal. The first step involves loosening water pump pulley bolts before taking out the drive belt and water pump pulley. If you wish to work on the water pump first eliminate the generator and apply force to the four bolts holding the water pump in place then the pump itself must be extracted. The installation requires clean dry sealing surfaces that should be wiped with a soft cloth before continuing. Fitting a new O-ring seal requires coating it with premium engine coolant that should match the existing coolant type to prevent mixing. Affix the water pump into position by using the bolts before installing the generator. The water pump pulley installation begins with securing it into place through bolt attachment followed by drive belt and degas bottle installation. Fill the cooling system then bleed it as the final step completes the procedure.

Service and repair operations for the water pump start with emptying the engine cooling system while taking out the degas bottle. First remove the drive belt and then remove the water pump pulley by taking out its additional bolts. Begin by removing the generator then taking out the four water pump securing bolts before you can remove the pump itself. Begin by cleaning the sealing surfaces before putting in a new O-ring seal that has non-petroleum based lubricant. First position the water pump on the vehicle then install the generator as the next step. The installation process begins with properly reattaching the water pump pulley while securing it with bolts. Installation includes fitting the drive belt after which you should reattach the degas bottle and perform cooling system filling and bleeding to finalize the process.
