Maintenance
The rotor and the shaft (1.2) should be replaced in case of
reduced current performance of the sera marin stream
pump SPM 8000 in spite of good cleaning. Pull the current
nozzle off the motor part to do so. The bearing of the ce-
ramic shaft is located at the bottom of the opening in the
middle of the motor block. The rubber bearings should also
be replaced if the ceramic shaft is being replaced. Make
sure the shaft sits in the rubber bearing and the duct of the
current nozzle when installing the shaft.
SAFETEY PRECAUTIONS
• All electrical units must be disconnected from the
mains/power supply before conducting work at the sera
marin stream pump SPM 8000 or the aquarium. Do
not insert pointed objects in the intake openings of the
flow pump while it is in operation. First switch off pump
and then clean it in case free floating plant parts are
trapped in the intake openings.
• Please make sure the frequency and the voltage of the
mains supply equal those on the type plate before using
the unit.
• Do not lift nor carry electric devices by their mains
cord.
• Operate unit only with an inserted fault current protec-
tion switch (RCD or FI with a trip current of 30 mA).
• Use the appliance only for its described purpose.
