DANGER
Only perform the inspection when the sys-
tem is switched off and secured.
DANGER
Risk of death from electric shock!
►
Only allow work on the electrical systems to
be carried out by a qualified electrician.
►
Ensure that the supply of electricity is
switched off and secured against reactiva-
tion when performing all maintenance work.
7.3.3 Servicing the mechanical seals
Mechanical seals feature a functional drop
leak (
à
manufacturer information)
Mechanical seals are self-adjusting mechani-
cal shaft seals that require no maintenance.
The mechanical seal must never run dry. En-
sure therefore that the pump is filled.
Do not reinstall mechanical seals after remov-
ing them for inspection or maintenance. Re-
place them with new seals, or relap the contact
surface.
Ø
In the event of heavy leakage, replace
the mechanical seal with auxiliary
seals and check that the auxiliary op-
erating systems function properly.
7.3.4 Servicing the gland packing
Gland packing consists of a number of com-
pression-moulded rings in a stuffing box.
Gland packings can be adjusted by hand with
tools.
WARNING
Excessive tightening places too much ten-
sion on the packing rings. This leads to
wear and ultimately loss of tightness in the
stuffing box.
NOTICE
Material damage due to dry running!
►
Ensure that the pump is properly filled.
If using a gland packing, this should drip slight-
ly during operation. The gland may only be
tightened slightly. Leakage is always required
if using pure graphite packing rings. If leakage
is too high after a longer period of operation,
evenly tighten the nuts on the gland by 1/6 of a
rotation, and observe the leakage. If it is no
