7.1 Maintenance Schedule
The maintenance intervals depend very much on the individual operating conditions. The
intervals given below are desired to be considered as starting values which should be
shortened or extended as appropriate. Particularly harsh applications or heavy duty oper-
ation, such as high dust loads in the environment or in the process gas, other contamina-
tion or ingress of process material, can make it necessary to shorten the maintenance in-
tervals significantly.

Maintenance work
Monthly
• Check for abnormal noise, see
• Check for excessive vibration, see problem “Vibration
• Check the operating liquid temperature, see
.
• Check the machine for liquid leaks - in case of leaks
have the machine repaired (contact Busch).
• If applicable, check gland packing leakage rate (45 to
60 drips per minute) and adjust as required.
Every 2500 operating hours
• Regrease the bearings. The amount of grease ac-
counts for 2/3 of the free space of the bearing cham-
ber.
• Check the tension on the v-belt (if applicable).
