Inspecting the pump mounting
Check that the pump's fixing screws have not become loose. If necessary, tighten them with the driving torque
stated in the installation design.
Inspecting the connections and pipes
- Inspect the connections for leaks.
Leaks can normally be dealt with by tightening the connections properly.
If leaks from the intake pipeline connections are noticed, the seals must be repaired.
- Inspect the hoses.
If the pipes show signs of aging, breakage, swelling, rubbing, etc., they must be replaced.
Inspecting the Filter
- Inspect the filter cartridge.
If the filter cartridge is fouled or damaged, refer to the filter manufacturer's instructions for details of how to
restore the filter cartridge to its original filtering condition.
Checking the oil level
- Pumps designed for vertical installation (see
mounting instructions in the annexes) have lifetime
lubrication
- In pumps designed for horizontal installation (see
mounting instructions in the annexes), check the
amount of oil through the level gauge (A).
- If necessary, top up with oil with the characteristics
specified in the "Lubricants table".
To top up with oil proceed as described below.
1) Unscrew the plug (B) and pour in oil through the
hole until it is halfway up the level gauge (A).
2) Screw the plug (B) back into place.
Lengthy pump lay-offs
If the pump is to be unused for a long time, proceed as described below.
1) Run the pump with clean water for a few minutes.
2) Operate the pump without water for 10 seconds with the end of the delivery pipeline open to empty the
pump and the delivery circuit and prevent scaling.
3) Flush the pump with water and solvents authorised by the relevant laws.
4) Dry the pump with a pressurised air jet.
5) Protect the pump from weather.
Putting the pump back into service
Before putting the pump back into service after a long period out of use, check the oil level and the tightness
of the mounting screws.
