WILO EMU 3.0
- The power supply cables should be protected against kinking, damage and moisture.
- The machine must be protected from direct sunlight, heat, dust, and frost. Heat and frost can
cause considerable damage to propellers, rotors and coatings.
- The rotors or propellers must be turned at regular intervals. This prevents the bearing from
locking and the film of lubricant on the mechanical shaft seal is renewed. This also prevents
the gear pinions (if present on the product) from becoming fixed as they turn and also renews
the lubricating film on the gear pinions (preventing rust film deposits).
- If the product has been stored for a long period of time it should be cleaned of impurities such
as dust and oil deposits before start-up. Rotors and propellers should be checked for smooth
running, housing coating and damage.
Before start-up, the filling levels (oil, motor filling etc.) of the individual
products should be checked and topped up if required. Products filled
with drinking water should be completely filled before start-up. Please
refer to the machine data sheet for specifications on filling.
Damaged coatings should be repaired immediately. Only a coating that is
completely intact fulfills the criteria for intended usage.
If these rules are observed, your product can be stored for a longer period. Please remember that
elastomer parts and coatings become brittle naturally. If the product is to be stored for longer than
6 months, we recommend checking these parts and replacing them as necessary. Please consult the
manufacturer.
Returning to the supplier
Products which are delivered to the plant must be clean and correctly packaged. In this context,
clean means that impurities have been removed and decontaminated if it has been used with mate-
rials which are hazardous to health. The packaging must protect the product against damage. If you
should have any questions please contact the manufacturer.
Beware of electrical current
Damaged power supply cables can cause fatal injury! Defective
cables must be replaced by a qualified electrician immediately.
Beware of damp
Moisture penetrating cables can damage them and render them
useless. Therefore, never immerse cable ends in the pumped fluid
or other liquids.
Beware of sharp edges
Sharp edges can form on rotors and propellers. There is a risk of
injuries. Wear protective gloves.
