Troubleshooting
This section describes troubleshooting, inspection, specification and dimensions.
Points to be observed
Observe the following points during maintenance work.
•
Follow instructions in this manual for replacement of wear parts. Do not disassemble the
pump beyond the extent of the instructions.
•
Always wear protective clothing such as an eye protection, chemical resistant gloves, a
mask and a face shield during disassembly, assembly or maintenance work. The spe-
cific solution will dictate the degree of protection. Refer to MSDS precautions from the
solution supplier.
• Solution in the discharge line may be under pressure. Release the pressure from the
discharge line before disconnecting plumbing or disassembly of the pump to avoid solu-
tion spray.
•
Risk of electrical shock. Be sure to turn off power to stop the pump and related devices
before service is performed.
Troubleshooting
First check the following points. If the following measures do not help remove problems, con-
tact your distributor.
