  2. Loosen the screwed connection at the solids separation tank.
  3. Pull the pump discharge port out of the pipework.
  4. Remove the screen from the connection port of the solids separation tank.
  5. Use a water jet to clean the solids separation tank, the pump discharge port, and the screen. CAUTION! Obey local regulations to collect the sewage and channel it to the sewer system.

    The ball is out-of-round.
    There is water in the ball.
    There are indentations from the seal kit.
  7. Put the screen back into the connection port of the solids separation tank.
