Water Pump Replacement
- Disconnect the power to the sterilizer. Remove the cover. Disconnect the (2) Ribbon Cables from the Display PC Board and Keypad From The Main PC Board
- Completely drain the Reservoir
- Remove Cable Ties securing pump wires and disconnect wires from Main PC Board
- Remove Metering Tube connection from Steam Generator/Boiler and disconnect the Silicone Tubing at the Drain Kit Barbed Tee or Reservoir, leaving the
Water Filter (In-Line) attached to Pump
- Remove (4) Mounting Screws from Rubber Mounting Brackets on existing Pump and remove Pump from Chassis
- Assemble Silicone Tubings (supplied in this kit) to Water Filter (In-Line)(Part #SCF034) as shown in Figure 2 (StatIM 2000) or Figure 3 (StatIM 5000).
Note direction of the Flow Arrow (if present) on Water Filter (In-Line). Secure barbed connections to Filter with Cable Ties supplied
- Insert Spring Clip (supplied in this kit) behind Rubber Mounting Bracket on Input side of Pump (see Figure 4) and mount new Pump to Chassis

- Attach the Silicone Tubing from the Water Filter (In-Line) to the Drain Kit Barbed Tee or Reservoir. Note Flow Arrow direction and tubing length
configuration (see Figure 2 or 3). Pass Silicone Tubing from other end of Water Filter through clear protective tube and install onto the input
port barb of the new Pump (see Figure 4). Install clear protective tube over fitting and secure connections with Cable Ties. CAUTION: ensure
the routing of tubing is located in an optimal location, and that there is no KINKING of tubing!
