7.2
Maintenance
Mechanical seals are subject to natural wear and tear
which is heavily dependent on the particular operating
conditions concerned. It is therefore not possible to make
general statements about their service life.
DANGER
Risk of electrocution!
All electrical work must be carried out by quali
fi
ed electri-
cians only.
DANGER
Danger to life from rotating parts.
Ensure coupling guard is
fi
tted after work on the pump.
DANGER
Risk of injury from running pump!
Do not touch the running pump.
Do not carry out any work on the running pump.
For all installation and maintenance work, disconnect the
motor from the mains and lock.
WARNING
Risk of injury and poisoning due to hazardous or hot fluid!
Use protective equipment for any work on the pump.
Allow the pump to cool down completely before commenc-
ing any work.
Make sure the pump is unpressurized.
Empty the pump, safely collect the pumped liquid and
