CERTISAFE™ TANK MIXER MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
CERTISAFE™ TANK MIXER MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Electrical Troubleshooting
• If a unit fails to operate, you can use a series of simple checks to determine the general cause.
• Once you’ve located the fault, please contact your distributor for information on how to proceed with repair.
Is the GFCI Tripped?
1. If yes, reset the GFCI and check operation.
2. If the GFCI continues to trip, disconnect the unit in the panel and reset the GFCI.
• If the GFCI doesn’t trip, the fault lies in the unit or its cord.
• If the GFCI continues to trip, the fault lies in the control panel power source.
Is the cord damaged?
1. With the power off, perform a visual inspection of the power cord.
• If there is visible damage, contact your distributor for repair options.
What happens with an alternate
power source?
1. If the power cord and unit appear to be in good condition, safely plug it into an
alternate GFCI-protected power source.
• If the unit starts and continues to run, fault lies in the control panel or power
source.
• If the alternate GFCI continues to trip, fault lies in the unit or cord.
GFCI
•
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is a safety feature
that can alert you to problems with the mixer. It is important
to test the GFCI upon installation, after each re-installation,
and regularly thereafter to ensure consistent operation. If
you experience repeat interruptions, disconnect and remove
the equipment. Inspect the power cord and unit (mixer) for
damage. If no damage is apparent, please contact your
Kasco distributor or representative for further instruction.
Observation
• Monitor the operating mixer for any reduction or variation in
performance.
• Inspect the mixer annually and clean as needed to allow for
heat dissipation and to verify that the propeller is clean and
free of nicks.
• Inspect the power cable annually for damage or abrasion
and replace as necessary.
• Regularly clean all external rotating parts and examine them
for wear.
•
If you note a deficiency in performance, remove the equip
-
ment from service and inspect for any damage or failure. If
you observe any canister leakage during annual inspection,
send the mixer to Kasco’s factory for service and repair.
Cleaning
• The stainless-steel motor housing needs to be kept clean in
order to allow heat to effectively dissipate.
Seal and Oil Replacement
• Replacing the seal and changing the oil every 3-5 years will
add reliability and longevity to the mixer.
• Seal replacement and all other repair services should be
performed by Kasco Marine.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect electrical power prior to any maintenance or servicing!
