fuse holder

 Keep the snap-fits squeezed and pull the fuse holder out.

 The fuse holder contains two fuses of the same type. Replace the 

defective fuse by a fuse of the same type (see “Technical data”, pg. 

24). 

 Insert the fuse holder into the housing until it snaps.

 Replacing the device fuse

 

Switch off the pump.

 

 Disconnect the electrical power cord

 before remov-

ing the fuse holder.

  Identify and eliminate the cause of failure before switch-

ing on the pump again.

 A service manual with exploded view drawings, spare parts list and 

directions for repair is available on request.

The service manual is intended for trained service people only.

Fault

Possible cause

Remedy

Pump too noisy.

Atmospheric or high 

pressure at the pump 

inlet?

Connect hose or silencer 

to pump outlet. Be careful 

not to cause outlet over-

pressure, especially with 

condensable vapors.

Diaphragm crack or 

diaphragm clamping 

disc loose?

Perform maintenance.

Other than above men-

tioned causes?

Contact local distributor.

Pump seized.

Contact local distributor.
