OPERATION
39
Both the pumphead and gearbox are directly coupled to
each other. A special feature is included in the
pumphead to enable early detection of seal damage of
the pump or gearbox.
This feature is called the leakage zone. When a seal
starts to show increased leakage, this can be detected
at the back side of the pump. When drops of lubricant
are visible, it indicates upcoming seal failure. To avoid
consequential damage, the pump must be stopped and
lubricant levels of the pumphead and gearbox must be
checked. The damaged seal should be replaced.
Regularly inspect the pump on fluid leak-
age.
WARNING
Risk of injury from falling! Process fluid
mixed with pump lubricant that is leaking
from the pump can lead to slippery floors.
