Installation and operating instructions Wilo-Padus PRO 37
▪ Under normal operating conditions, the sound-pressure level of the product is below
85 dB(A). However, the actual sound-pressure level depends on several factors:
– Installation depth
– Installation
– Fixation of accessories and pipe
– Duty point
– Immersion depth
▪ The operator must measure the sound pressure when the device is being operated un-
der the applicable operating conditions. Ear protection must be worn for sound pressure
levels of 85 dB(A) and above, and a notice must be added to the work regulations!
2.9 Maintenance tasks
▪ Wear the following protective equipment:
– Closed safety goggles
– Safety shoes
– Safety gloves for protection against cuts
▪ Always carry out maintenance tasks outside the operating space/installation site.
▪ Only carry out maintenance tasks mentioned in these installation and operating in-
structions.
▪ Only original parts from the manufacturer may be used for maintenance and repairs.
Use of parts other than the original parts releases the manufacturer from any liability.
▪ Collect any leakage of fluid and operating fluid immediately and dispose of it according
to the locally applicable guidelines.
▪ Store tools at the designated locations.
▪ After completing work, reattach all safety and monitoring devices and check that they
function properly.
Changing operating fluid
In case of a defect, a pressure of several bar can build up in the motor! This pressure
escapes when the screw plugs are opened . If screw plugs are opened without due cau-
tion, they can be ejected at high speed! To avoid injuries, observe the following instruc-
tions:
▪ Adhere to the prescribed sequence of work steps.
▪ Unscrew the screw plugs slowly, but never unscrew them completely. As soon as the
pressure escapes (audible whistling or hissing of air), stop turning the screw plug any
further.
WARNING! Hot operating fluids can also spray out when the pressure is escaping.
This can result in scalding! To avoid injuries, allow the motor to cool down to the
ambient temperature before carrying out any work!
▪ When the pressure has completely dissipated, fully unscrew the screw plug.
2.10 Operating fluid
In the sealing chamber, the motor is filled with white oil. Operating fluid must be re-
placed during regular maintenance work and disposed off according to the local
guidelines.
