MAINTENANCE
Maintenance work on electrical installations must be performed by qualified
personnel and only when the power supply has been shutoff. Follow the local
and national safety regulations.
3.1.
Inspections
The CTM range pumps have been designed and tested to run for 5000 hours in ideal
working conditions. Please note that it is a conservative figure since the actual duty point of
your pump can substantially modify this value. Additional factors such as intermittent
operation, type of pumped liquid and installation in the plant may affect the life of
components that are subject to wear. In any case, Tapflo advises to service pumps every
year, even when used in ideal operating conditions.
➢
Periodically check suction and discharge pressures.
➢
Inspect the motor according to the instructions from the motor manufacturer.
