PUMP
After every season, thoroughly clean the inside and the outside of the pump and prepare it for storage.
Check the quantity of working hours and, if necessary, repair the pump (oil change, membrane change,
sealing change, etc.) or at least check the oil level, the sealing, etc. This is the most appropriate time of
the season to perform some maintenance work. If you are not sure whether or not you can repair the
pump on your own, leave the work to an authorized expert. You can find the description about
maintenance work in the chapter "PUMPS".
16.6.6
DRIVE/CARDAN SHAFT
It is very important that the safety pin, which is attached to the head of the cardan shaft, is clean and
greased. This assures that the shaft is safe to use.
Check the protective cover, the functioning and the condition of the cardan shaft every 40 working
hours. Replace damaged parts with new ones.
Check the protective cover of the cardan shaft every 100 working hours and, if necessary, replace the
sliding plates of the protection. Also check the condition of the cardan shaft. Pay special attention to
the safety pin. Replace damaged parts with new ones.
16.6.7
BOLTS
IMPORTANT:
Check the bolts, pins and especially safety pins, their tightness and their condition. If
necessary, tighten or replace them. The information on the necessary bolt tightness can be found in the
table “Bolt tightening torque” (in the chapter “BOLT TIGHTENING TORQUE”).
16.6.8
HOSE JUNCTIONS
Reasons for bad sealing of hose junctions:
•
missing O-rings or sealings;
•
damaged or poorly inserted sealings;
•
dry or re-formed sealing or. O-ring;
•
unsuitable joints;
•
In the case of bad sealing or leaking:
o
DO NOT TIGHTEN the joint too hard, since you can easily damage it. Take the
joint apart and check the condition and position of the sealing or the O-ring,
clean and grease it and reassemble the joint.
o
Use only non-mineral grease (bio-grease) for greasing.
