Shredding system
The shredding system of the Piranha is a wearing part, and as such may need to be replaced. A reduction in
cutting performance can reduce the output. We recommend that the shredding system is inspected regularly.
This is particularly so if sewage containing sand is being pumped. Regular inspection and care is recommended
to ensure a long service life.
The ABS service organisation would be pleased to advise you on any applications you may have and to assist
you in solving your pumping problems.

Oil filling and oil changing
The motor chamber (Piranha-PE), and the oil chamber between the motor and the hydraulic section (Piranha
-PE & Piranha-S), have been filled at manufacture.
An oil change is only necessary:
at specified service intervals (for details contact your local ABS Service Centre).
if the DI moisture sensor detects an ingress of water into the oil chamber or motor chamber.
after repair work that requires draining of the oil.
if the pump is being taken out of service the oil should be changed before storage.

Instructions on how to drain and fill the oil chamber
Loosen the plug screw enough to release any pressure that may have built-up, and re-tighten (for location
see pages 5 and 6).
Before doing so, place a cloth over the plug screw to contain any possible spray of oil as the pump
de-pressurises.
Place the pump in a horizontal position on a waste oil sump with the drain hole underneath.
Remove the plug screw and seal ring from the drain hole.
After the oil is fully drained rotate the pump so that the drain hole is positioned to the top.
Select the required volume from the oil-fill quantities table and slowly fill with oil into the drain hole.
Refit the plug screw and seal ring.
