Maintenance / Repair
9.1
General Instructions
The operator must ensure that all maintenance, service and repair work on the pump is
carried out exclusively by authorised and specially trained persons. It must be established
beyond doubt that the person has studied the operator's manual in detail.
We recommend the creation and adherence to of a maintenance schedule. That will
enable you to avoid expensive repairs and have a reliable and trouble-free pump
operation.
Only original spare parts must be used for repairs. This is particularly important for the
mechanical seal.
If work has to be carried out on the motor the instructions in the manual from the relevant
motor manufacturer must be observed.
Mortal danger!
In order to prevent electric shocks, work on the terminal box and the machine
controller must never be carried out before the electrical connections have
been isolated or disconnected.
Attention: Mortal danger!
The centrifugal pump must be safeguarded against unintentional switching on
(be disconnected) if checking or maintenance work is to be undertaken.
