7. Servicing, Maintenance
7.1 General remarks
Work should only be carried out on the pump or
pump unit when it is not in operation. You must
observe chapter 2.
Maintenance and servicing work must only be
carried out by trained, experienced staff who
are familiar with the contents of these
Operating Instructions, or by the Manufacturer's
own service staff.
7.2 Mechanical seals
Before opening the pump, it is essential that
you note chapter 2 and chapter 8.
If the liquid being handled leaks out at the mechanical
seal, it is damaged and must be replaced.
Replacement of the mech. seal according to
accompanying "Mounting Instructions for Shaft
sealing".
7.3 Motor bearings
After approx. 5 years the grease in the motor bearings
is so aged, that a replacement of the bearings is
recommended. However, the bearings must be
replaced after 25000 operating hours, at least, resp.
acc. to the Maintenance Instruction of the motor
supplier, if that recommends a shorter maintenance
period.
7.4 Cleaning of pump
ƒ Dirt on the outside of the pump has an adverse
effect on transmission of heat. The pump should
therefore be cleaned with water at regular
intervals (depending on the degree of dirt).
The pump must not be cleaned with
pressurised water - water will get into the
bearings.

the right materials and the matching design.
