Maintenance And Troubleshooting - T.I.P. INTEGRA 8000 Mode D'emploi

To stop the operation of the pump, please pull the mains plug off the socket.
7.3. Thermal motor protection
The electrical pumps of the T.I.P. INTEGRA series are equipped with an integrated thermal motor protection
feature. In the case of overload, the motor will switch off independently and on again after cooling down. For
possible causes and their elimination, please refer to the "Maintenance and troubleshooting" section.

8. Maintenance and troubleshooting

Prior to carrying out any maintenance work, the pump must be separated from the electrical
mains. If you fail to separate the unit from mains, there is a risk of an inadvertent start of the
pump.
We decline any liability for damage caused by inappropriate repair attempts. Any damage
caused by inappropriate repair attempts will avoid all warranty claims.
Observing the conditions of use and the ranges of application of the present device will reduce the risk of possible
operational malfunction and contribute to extend the lifetime of your unit. Sand and other abrasive matters
contained in the liquid discharged will speed up the process of wearing and tearing and accelerate the drop in
performance.
If the unit is operated properly, it will not require any maintenance.
To remove stubborn contamination or to clean the float, the pump pedestal (8) can be removed by loosening the
screws (9) located at the bottom of the pump. Subsequently, you can clean the pump wheel (3) and the pump
wheel chamber (4). To clean the float (2), please hold the guiding rod (12) firmly, and then remove the rubber lock
(13). You can then remove the float and clean it together with the float chamber (11). After cleaning, please
reattach the float to the guiding rod. Please note that the conically tapered end of the float has to point upwards,
i.e. towards the top of the pump. Fasten the rubber lock again. Then reattach the pump pedestal and ensure the
proper position of the O-ring (15).
To avoid any hazard, any further disassembly as well as the replacement of parts must only be done by the
manufacturer or a by an authorised service provider.
Water left in the pump may freeze in case of frost and thus cause considerable damage. Therefore, the pump
must be removed from the liquid being discharged and fully drained when temperatures are below the freezing
point of the liquid. Please store the pump in a dry, frost-protected place.
In the case of malfunction, you should first of all check whether it was caused by an operating error or some other
reason which cannot be attributed to a defect of the device - for instance a power failure.
The list below shows some possible malfunctions of the device, possible causes and tips on their elimination. All
the measures referred to may only be carried out with the pump being separated from the electrical mains. If you
yourself feel unable to eliminate any of these malfunctions, please contact the customer service department or
your point of sales. Any repair beyond the scope specified below must only be performed by qualified staff.
Please bear in mind that all warranty claims will become void in the case of damage caused by inappropriate
repair attempts, and that we decline any liability for any ensuing damage.
