6. Servicing the product
6.1 Contaminated pumps
The product will be classified as contaminated if it
has been used for a liquid which is injurious to health
or toxic.
If you request Grundfos to service the product,
contact Grundfos with details about the liquid before
returning the product for service. Otherwise,
Grundfos can refuse to accept the product for
service.
Any application for service must include details
about the liquid.

6.2 Operating checks
1. Check the pump and pipes for leaks.
2. Check and record the pressure gauge readings
for future reference.
3. Check the differential pressure. If the differential
pressure is lower than anticipated, the motor may
be overloaded. See description of measuring
instruments in section
.
4. Measure the motor current consumption and
compare the result with the rated current stated
on the motor nameplate. In case of overload,
throttle the outlet isolating valve or throttle valve
until the motor is no longer overloaded.
5. Check the bearings for lubrication and
temperature. Normal temperature is 70 °C (158
°F). The maximum temperature depends on the
type of lubrication. See the lubricating plate on
the pump.
Stop the pump immediately if you notice any defects.
Do not start the pump unless the defects have been
remedied. See section
Report immediately to the supplier that you cannot
remedy the defects.
