MAINTENANCE
9.1
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
If the Pump is used for light-duty purposes, the following routine maintenance jobs are advised:
-
After the first 50 hours: Oil change (see section 9.2 - Lubrication)
-
Every 500 hours: Oil change (see section 9.2 - Lubrication)
-
Every 1000 hours: Replace the valves – replace piston seal rings
For heavy-duty purposes, carry out the maintenance jobs more often.
When inspecting or replacing the Pump valves, be careful which type of Loctite
caps over the valves (see table on page 26-27).
9.2
LUBRICATION
The Pump is supplied with the correct amount of lubrication oil (see table on page 25).
Periodically check the oil level in the Pump through the oil level indicator.
Use OIL type SAE 15W-40 or equivalent. Here are some recommended types of oil:
CASTROL
The oil is to be changed by draining it through the dedicated bottom oil drain plug and strictly with the
Pump stopped.
Every time you unscrew the oil drain plug we suggest to replace its gasket.
DO NOT START THE PUMP IF THERE IS NO OIL IN THE PUMP!
During maintenance, you are recommended to:
- Use and wear suitable personal protection equipment (i.e. gloves).
- Wait for the machine to cool down and to have stopped completely.
During maintenance, do not throw residues outdoors but observe current standards.
If the Pump is to be scrapped:
1. Separate the various parts depending on their type (i.e. plastic, harmful fluids, metal
etc.).
2. Use public or private waste disposal systems envisaged by local law to dispose of
waste.
3. This device could contain harmful substances: improper use or incorrect disposal
could have negative effects on human health and on the environment.
