7  Maintenance

7.1  Maintenance Schedule

For the VARODRY products two types of maintenance are required:

1.

Belt change

2.

Pump overhaul

The belt change can be done by the user of the pump.(See instructions in 

Pump Timing

Belt Change on page 20

).

The pump overhaul requires special equipments and must be done by Leybold Service
only.

For determining the operation hours, the VARODRY is equipped with a battery powered
hour meter. In order to access the hour meter the pump cover has to be removed. (see
picture 3.2)

The lifetime of the battery is limited to 3-5 years. If the battery is empty the hour meter
needs to be repaced. Contact Leybold Service for hour meter replacement.
