Useful tools Inspection of rotors

If an indication of a worn pump is noticed (see service
intervals above), a brief inspection of the idler rotors
is recommended.
A quick inspection of the idler rotors can be made
simply by removing the rear cover or valve cover.
Note that the driver must be deenergized and the

proper function, may have been affected by wear.
