Frequently Asked Questions - RY31DP18 RYOBI

How to prime the RY31DP18 pump?

Apply two drops of oil into the water intake before and after each use. Add water into the water inlet on the side of the pump to prime the impeller. Start the drill slowly and increase to full speed in a few seconds. The pump should prime within ten seconds.

Why is my pump not pumping?

Check for blockages in the inlet or outlet hoses. Ensure the inlet hose is submerged and air-tight. Check that the drill rotation is in forward direction. If the problem persists, the impeller may be worn or the O-ring damaged; replace them if necessary.

What liquids can I pump with the RY31DP18 pump?

This pump has been tested for use only with water. Do not pump gasoline, petroleum products, solvents, acidic, alkaline or flammable solutions. These products can cause injury and damage the pump.

How to replace the impeller and O-ring?

Disconnect the pump from the drill and hoses. Remove the four screws from the impeller cover. Remove the cover and inspect the O-ring. Replace the worn impeller by aligning the key. Ensure the new O-ring is in place, then reassemble the cover and tighten the screws.

What drill to use with the RY31DP18 pump?

Use an electric or cordless drill with a chuck that can accept a 6.35 mm hex shank. Do not exceed a rotation speed of 2,800 RPM. Ensure the drill is in good condition and properly grounded if corded.

How to clean the RY31DP18 pump?
