GENERAL COMMENTS
A routine maintenance program can extend the life of your pump. Well maintained equipment will last longer and require
fewer repairs. You should keep maintenance records as this will help pinpoint potential causes of problems.
The Preventive Maintenance section must be adhered to in order to keep the applicable ATEX classification of the
equipment. Failure to follow these procedures will void the ATEX classification for the equipment.

ROUTINE INSPECTIONS
Check for unusual noise, vibration and bearing
temperatures.
Inspect pump and piping for leaks.
Verify there is no seal chamber leakage.
QUARTERLY INSPECTIONS
Check foundation and hold down bolts for tightness.
If pump has packing and has been left idle, check packing.
Replace if required.
Oil should be changed at least every 3 months, 2000 Hours or
more often if there are any adverse atmospheric conditions or
other conditions which might contaminate or break down the
oil. Oil should also be changed if it is cloudy or contaminated.
Inspection intervals should be shortened
appropriately if the pumped fluid is abrasive and/or
corrosive, or if the environment is classified as
potentially explosive.
�
Check pump capacity, pressure and power. If pump
performance does not satisfy your process require-
ments, and process requirements have not changed,
pump should be disassembled, inspected, and worn
parts should be replaced. Otherwise, a system
inspection should be done.
ANNUAL INSPECTIONS
�
Check shaft alignment and realign if required.
