The TEC 4 NG is largely maintenance-free. 

 

However, the pump cassettes of the individual dosing pumps should be dismantled every half year and the insides  

 

of the cassettes, the rollers, the rubber hoses and the motor shaft be cleaned with a fluffy-free  

 

cloth and some spirit. 

 

According to the daily dosing quantity and the type of dosed liquids the cleaning intervals should be adjusted.  

Under no circumstances the pumps should be oiled!
