10.12 Lubricating the Mechanical Seal
The two-part silicone hose on the drive hub must always be filled
with liquid (Glycerine, for details see the chapter “Operating Materi-
als” of the main chapter “Technical Data”) to ensure the mechani-
cal seal is lubricated.
ATTENTION
Risk of loss of property due to the mechanical seal running dry!
A mechanical seal, which has not been adequately lubricated, is
destroyed when running dry.
Proceed as follows for lubrication:
Procedure
1.
Pull off the longer piece of hose from the coupling on the
shorter piece.
2.
Fill a syringe with glycerine and plug it onto the open hose
end.
3.
Fill Glycerine into the hose.
4.
Plug the longer piece of hose onto the coupling of the shorter
piece.
If Glycerine has come off the tubing, wipe off as necessary.
