MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
Make sure the machine is disconnected from electric power supply, before performing mainte-
nance operation.
In ordinary conditions, GARDEN PUMPS PENTAIR FLOTEC do not require any maintenance To prevent possible
problems, it is advisable to periodically check the pressure supplied and current absorption. A reduction of the
pressure may indicate that the electropump is worn. Sand and other corrosive materials present in the delivery fluid
cause a rapid wear and a reduction of performance. In this case, it is advisable to use a filter. An increase in current
absorption indicates the presence of abnormal mechanical friction in the pump and/or the motor.
If the electropump is not going to be used for a long period of time (i.e. one year), it is advisable to empty it comple-
tely (by opening the drain cap, see Fig. 1 n. 10), rinse it with clean water and store it in a dry location, where it can be
protected from frost.
