This guide will show you how to pull the riser main from the well using three lifting spanners.

This procedure requires four people: one on each of the lifting arms, and one to control the pipe vise. Communication is very important throughout this procedure. If the person handling the pipe vise opens it before everyone is ready, the riser main could drop through the vise and be lost down the well.

    • Before performing any repairs, perform a water test on the pump by raising and lowering the handle a full 40 strokes. A properly performing pump will yield greater than 10 liters.

    • Remove the hex head bolt from the top of the access door on the pump head.

    • On reassembly, this bolt should be hand-tight.

    • The following procedure requires two people. If you attempt to do this alone, you risk injuring yourself and damaging the pump.

    • Lift the pump handle until the base of the chain comes to rest on the spacer collar, and the chain is slack. Hold the handle in this position while the chain is being detached.

    • Ensure three things about the arms:

    • They must be equally spaced around the riser main (120° apart).

    • The arms must not touch each other, the coupling at the top, or the pipe vise at the bottom.

    • The openings should alternate, to keep the riser main secure.

    • Lift the section of pipe straight up from the coupling.

    • Be very careful to hold the pipe as straight up as possible. If it bends or falls over, it may damage the pump rod, or injure someone. Always have at least two people holding the pipe.
