2. Maintenance & Inspection

■ Daily inspection

Pay attention to the following items during operation. Stop operation on sensing danger and solve problems 

on the Troubleshooting section.

No.

States

Points to be checked

How to check

1 Operation

●  If air is pumped.
●  If the suction and discharge 

pressure are normal.

●  If power voltage and current are 

normal.

●  Air flow meter, pressure gauge 

or visual inspection

●  See a spec label.

2 Starting

●  If abnormal noise or vibration 

occurs. They are signs of abnor-
mal operation.

●  A baseplate, if installed, under 

the pump may resonate with 
operation, making a mechanical 
noise. Insert a rubber cushion as 
necessary to reduce resonance.

●  Visual or audio inspection

●  Visual or audio inspection

3

Air leak or ingress from pump 
head joints and a suction line

●  Tighten a loose joint.

●  Air flow meter, pressure gauge 

or visual inspection

4

Pump and motor surface tem-
perature rise

●  Pump and motor surface tem-

perature should be at or below a 
total of ambient temperature plus 
50°C.

●  Thermometer

■ Wear parts

If pump performance has remarkably reduced, replace diaphragms and valves with new ones.

Wear part duration varies with the pressure, temperature and characteristics of liquid.

The estimated life below is calculated based on continuous operation with clean water at ambient tempera-

ture (Room temperature range is 0-40°C.).
