Pump maintenance
Inspecting for leaks
The pump is equipped with a gasket system on the shaft to prevent adhesive
from leaking through it. On occasion, some adhesive may leak out, which
makes it necessary to retighten the screws or change the gasket.
Warning : Changing the gasket with a hot pump.
Release the shaft coupling from the pump. Retighten or remove the screws
that hold the gasket in place. Replace the gaskets and reassemble the parts.
Occasionally, as a result of the system’s heating-cooling cycles, it may be
necessary to retighten the screws.
Warning : Always wear protective gloves and goggles. Risk of burns.
Changing the pump probe
The pump carries a probe attached to a metal part on one of its faces. To
release the probe use an Allen wrench 3 on the indicated screw. If the probe
does not come out, at the bottom of the metal part there is a screw from which
the probe can be pushed upwards to come out.
