7. MAINTENANCE
7.1 Pre Maintenance Cleaning

Pump maintenance should only be carried out by authorised qualified
personnel with appropriate metering pump and system maintenance
experience.

The suction and discharge lines must be isolated and pipework de-
pressurised and drained of chemicals.

Flush the pump liquid head internals to remove all chemical residue.

Clean the pumps exterior to ensure chemical free surface.

Check that appropriate chemical handling and cleaning standards have
been met.

thereafter.
The following are recommended grades:
SHELL : OMALA 320
BP : GR-XP-320 ISO
MOBIL : MOBIL GEAR 632
CASTROL : ALPHA SP 320
7.2.2 Fill oil until oil starts to overflow from the filler port.
Oil volume : 450 ml
7.3 Suction & Discharge Valves
7.3.1 During routine maintenance, valves should be dismantled and
checked. Replace worn ball checks and valve seats. When pumping
clean liquids of moderate viscosity, valves will give many years of
trouble free service. However, valve life can be reduced in
applications where discharge pressure is high, liquid viscosity low or
solids are present.
NOTE: Should it be necessary to service the valves, cleanliness is essential
and care should be taken to avoid damaging components.
Refer to valve drawing at end of manual prior to dismantling.
7.3.2 When reassembling, ensure that all O-Rings, ball checks and ball
stops are in the correct position. Failure to fit ball stops can result in
closed head situation and severe pump damage.
