Installation, Operating and Maintenance Instructions (Original Instructions)
ABS submersible sewage pump XFP 80C - 201G
9.4
Lubricant changing (PE3 - version without cooling jacket)
The seal chamber between the motor and the hydraulic section has been fi lled with glycol at manufacture. The
water and propylene glycol is frost resisting down to -15 °C / 5 °F.
A glycol change is only necessary:
At specifi ed service intervals (for details contact your local ABS Service Centre).
If the DI moisture sensor detects an ingress of water into the seal chamber or dry chamber.
After repair work that requires draining of the glycol.
If the pump is being taken out of service the glycol should be changed before storage.
In the case of extreme ambient temperatures below -15 °C / 5 °F (e.g. during transport, storage, or if the
pump is out of duty) the cooling liquid must be drained. Otherwise the pump may be damaged.
9.4.1 Instructions on how to drain and fi ll the seal chamber
Loosen the drain plug screw (a) enough to release any pressure that may have built-up, and re-tighten.
Before doing so, place a cloth over the plug screw to contain
any possible spray of glycol as the pump de-pressurises.
Secure a hoist to the lifting hoop. Lay the pump on its side and
rotate until the drain plug is underneath.
Note:
because there is insuffi cient space to place a waste
container underneath the drain plug the waste must be drained
into a sump.
Remove the plug screw and seal ring (a) from the drain hole.
After the glycol is fully drained, place the pump in a horizontal
position sitting on its discharge fl ange with the motor housing
supported from underneath.
To prevent the pump from toppling over ensure it is
supported to lie fl at on its discharge fl ange.
Select the required volume of glycol from the quantities table (p.17)
(a) Drain plug screw
and slowly pour into the drain hole.
Refi t the plug screw and seal ring.
