8. Start-Up
Never let the pump run dry for a long time of period,
as it will destroy the pump (danger of overheating).
Wet well installation
Start the pump, when the system has been filled with liq-
uid and vented. Open the isolating valves. Check the posi-
tion of the float switches. If necessary, check the direction
of rotation of the pump, as described under 6.4. Put the
switch on the control box to the required mode of
operation.
Dry well installation
On dry installation, make sure that the liquid level in the
collection sump is above the top of the pump housing to
prevent an air cushion in the pump.
If necessary, check the direction of rotation of the pump,
as described under 6.4. Put the switch on the control box
to the required mode of operation.
9. Maintenance and Repair
In case of a defect of the pump, a repair shall be car-
ried out only by the manufacturer or through an authorized
workshop. Modifications of the pump must be confirmed
by the manufacturer. Only HOMA spare parts shall be
used.
In accordance with the product liability law we point
out that we shall not be liable for damages caused by our
product due to unauthorized repair by persons other than
the manufacturer or an authorized workshop or due to the
use of spare parts other than original HOMA parts. The
same product liability limitations are valid for accessories.
Before maintenance or repair disconnect the pump
from the power supply to avoid accidental starting of the
pump!
Before maintenance or repair make sure that all rotat-
ing parts stand still!
Before carrying out maintenance and service, the
pump must be thoroughly flushed with clean water. Rinse
the pump parts in clean water after dismanteling.
At pump types with oil chamber an overpressure can
escape with loosening of the oil chamber control screw.
Screw only when pressure balance took place.
Pumps running under normal operation conditions should
be inspected at least once a year. If the pumped liquid is
very muddy or sandy or if the pump is operating continu-
ously, the pump should be inspected every 1.000 operat-
ing hours.
For long and trouble-free operation of the pump, following
points should be checked regularly:
- Nominal current (A): Check with amp-meter.
- Pump parts and impeller: Check for possible wear.
Replace defective parts.
- Ball bearings: Check the shaft for noisy or heavy opera-
tion (turn the shaft by hand). Replace defective ball bear-
ings. A general overhaul of the pump is usally required in
case of defective ball bearings or poor motor function.
This work must be carried out by an authorized
service workshop.
- Cable entry: Make sure that the cable entry is watertight
and that the cables are not bent sharply and/or pinched.
Additionally at pump types with oil chamber:
- Oil level and oil condition in oil chamber:
Put the pump in horizontal position, so that the screw of
the oil chamber is above (at larger pumps: one of both
screws). Remove the screw and infer a small quantity of
oil. The oil becomes greyish white like milk if it contains
water. This may be the result of defective shaft seal.
In this case leave the condition of the shaft seals by a
HOMA Service to examine.
The oil should be replaced after 3000 operating hours.
Oil type: degradable HOMA-Atox. Used oil is to be dis-
posed accordingly.
Servicing Contract
For a regular expert execution of all necessary mainte-
nance and inspection we recommend the conclusion of a

Return of pumps
If a pump has been used for a liquid which is injurious
to health or toxic, the pump will be classified as contami-
nated.
If HOMA is requested to service the pump, HOMA must
be contacted with details about the pumped liquid, etc.
before the pump is returned for service. Otherwise HOMA
can refuse to accept the pump for service (see attach-
ment).
Possible costs of returning the pump are paid by the cus-
tomer. However, any application for service (no matter to
whom it may be made) must include details about the
pumped liquid if the pump has been used for liquids which
are injurious to health or toxic.
