Never use force when dismantling and reassembling the pump set.

7.2 Servicing/inspection

7.2.1 Supervision of operation

 DANGER

Incorrectly serviced shaft seal

Fire hazard!

Hot fluids escaping!

Damage to the pump set!

Regularly service the shaft seal.

CAUTION

Increased wear due to dry running

Damage to the pump set!

Never operate the pump set without liquid fill.

Never close the shut-off element in the suction line and/or supply line during
pump operation.

CAUTION

Impermissibly high temperature of fluid handled

Damage to the pump!

Prolonged operation against a closed shut-off element is not permitted
(heating up of the fluid).

Observe the temperature limits in the data sheet and in the section on
operating limits. 

 (

ð

 Section 6.2, Page 25) 

While the pump is in operation, observe and check the following:

The pump must run quietly and free from vibrations at all times.

Check the shaft seal. 

 (

ð

 Section 6.1.5, Page 25)

Check the static seals for leakage.

Monitor the stand-by pump.
To make sure that the stand-by pumps are ready for operation, start them up
once a week.

7.2.2 Inspection work

 DANGER

Excessive temperatures caused by friction, impact sparking or frictional sparking

Fire hazard!

Damage to the pump set!

Regularly check the cover plates, plastic components and other guards of
rotating parts for deformation and sufficient distance from rotating parts.
