MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
Before doing any operation, make sure machine is disconnected from electric power supply.
DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
Power cord must be replaced by manufacturer or by Customer service, using special tools.
Under normal conditions electropumps in the PRATIKA® series do not need any maintenance. Occasionally it may be necessary to
clean the filter or other hydraulic parts. If the electropump is not going to be used for long periods of time (e.g. an entire season) it
should be emptied completely, rinsed with clean water and put in a dry place.

CLEANING THE FILTER

If the water being drawn is not perfectly clean, it may be necessary to clean the pump using a steel brush to scrap accumulated dirt
off the outer surface, afterwards, without dismantling the pump, rinse the filter with clean water.
If this is not sufficient then clean the hydraulic parts.
CLEANING THE HYDRAULIC PARTS
• Unscrew nuts holding the filter
• In sequence remove the filter and
suction flange
• Holding the impeller still, unscrew
the locking nuts
