8.3
Changing direction of rotation
The direction of rotation should only be altered by a qualifi ed person.
If the direction of rotation is incorrect then this is altered by changing over two phases of the power
supply cable in the control panel. The direction of rotation should then be rechecked.
9 Maintenance
Before commencing any maintenance work the pump should be completely disconnected from the mains
by a qualifi ed person and care should be taken that it cannot be inadvertently switched back on.
When carrying out any repair or maintenance work, the safety regulations covering work in enclosed areas
of sewage installations as well as good general technical pratices should be followed.
Under continuous running conditions the pump motor housing can become very hot. To prevent burn
injury allow to cool down before handling.
ATTENTION!
The maintenance instructions given here are not designed for “do-it-yourself” repairs as
special technical knowledge is required.
9.1
General maintenance instructions
ABS submersible pumps are reliable quality products, each being subjected to careful fi nal inspection.
Lubricated-for-life ball bearings, together with monitoring devices, ensure optimum pump reliability provided that
the pump has been connected and operated in accordance with the operating instructions. However, should a
malfunction occur, do not improvise, but ask your ABS Customer Service Department for assistance.
This applies particularly if the pump is continually switched off by the current overload in the control panel, by
the thermal sensors of the thermo-control system, or by the seal monitoring system (DI).
Regular inspection and care is recommended to ensure a long service life. Service intervals vary for XFP
pumps depending on installation and application. For recommended service interval details contact your local
ABS Service Centre. A maintenance contract with our Service Department will guarantee the best technical
service.
When carrying out repairs, only original spare parts supplied by the manufacturer should be used.
ABS warranty conditions are only valid provided that any repair work has been carried out in an ABS approved
workshop and where original ABS spare parts have been used.
NOTE: XFP pumps are rated for use in hazardous locations (Ex) as standard and feature a
secondary Ex nameplate containing EX data. If an XFP pump is serviced or repaired
in a workshop that is not Ex approved then it must no longer be used in hazardous
locations and the Ex nameplate must be removed.
9.2
Maintenance of Lifting Stations in accordance with EN 12056.
It is recommended that a lifting station is inspected monthly and its function checked.
In accordance with EN regulations, the lifting station should be maintained by a qualifi ed person at the following
intervals:
in commercial premises - every three months.
in apartment blocks - every six months.
in a single family home - once a year.
In addition we recommend that a maintenance contract be taken out with a qualifi ed company.
