Maintenance
Routine user maintenance for Dutypoint pump sets.
Dutypoint pump sets have been designed to keep major maintenance requirements to a minimum. Planned maintenance of the
pumps and other principal components should therefore be undertaken at the intervals recommended in the manuals referenced
below.
It is essential that a full test following the Pre-Commissioning procedure on is carried out on an annual basis.
In addition, the operator in charge should routinely make visual checks of the equipment during use, noting particularly any unusual
noises or vibrations. This will give an immediate indication of any irregularity in the operation of the system.
DANGER: DO NOT COMMENCE ANY MAINTENANCE WORK UNTIL:
— You have read
Important Safety Information
— You have the appropriate personal protective equipment
— You have all necessary safety equipment to hand
Refer to the appropriate manufacturer’s information that is provided in the appendices of this manual for the equipment being
serviced.
