7. MAINTENANCE
In case maintenance is required, it shall be necessary to observe the following precautions:
-disconnect the pump motor from the electrical system;
-wait until the temperature of the liquid is such not to create a danger of burns;
-if the liquid handled by the pump is harmful for one's health,it is indispensable to observe the following warnings:
-the operator must wear suitable individual protection devices (mask, goggles, gloves, etc.);
-the liquid must be carefully collected and disposed of with respect for current law;
-the pump must be washed inside and out, disposing of the residues as said above.
Verify the level of the oil of the chamber of the mechanical seals every 500 hours of operation or at least one
time per year. The check shall be executed by the special cap: put the pump horizontally on a safe surface (Fig.
6a). Unscrew the cap and rotate the pump till obtaining the coming out of the oil. Control the quantity and the
condition of the oil. In case everything is correct, fill again with the oil and then carefully screw the cap of the
chamber, in order to prevent the oil from escaping. If the quantity or the condition of the oil is not correct,
control the state of the mechanical seals and get in touch with the SAER Technical Assistance.
Use only oil type ESSO Marcol 82 or equivalents.
Do not throw the oil in the environment.In case extraordinary maintenance is required, get in touch with the
SAER Technical Assistance.
Do not modify the product without the necessary preventive authorization.
