Pump performance is unstable
• Pump suction pressure too low or
cavitation = check the pump inlet
conditions
• Suction pipe is partially obstructed
with impurities = clean the suction
pipe
• Leak from suction pipe = repair or
replace suction pipe
• air in suction pipe = bleed the suc
tion pipe, repeat the "pump priming"
instructions
• +For selfpriming pumps only: The
differential pressure inside the pump
is too low = gradually close a valve
until delivery pressure stabilizes and
the noise level is reduced
The pump rotates in the opposite direc-
tion when shut down
• Foot valve or check valve defective or
blocked in the open position = remove
and clean or replace the valves
• Leak from suction pipe = remove and
repair suction pipe
DISASSEmBLy AND
DISPOSAL
Before any intervention on the
pump, disconnect the electrical
mains. Ensure that the electrical
power supply cannot be restored inadver
tently.
• Disconnect the pump electrically from
the system according to safety stan
dards
• Open the tap nearest to the pump to
decrease the system's pressure
• Before disassembly, close the shut
off valves on the delivery side, and if
present also close the shutoff valve on
the suction side.
Note the position of the filler
hole, which is also used as a
bleed point. Ensure that the liq
uid on outlet cannot cause damage or
physical injury.
• Loosen the filler cap to reduce the
pressure of the liquid remaining be
tween the two valves
• Remove the drain cap from the pump
body to completely empty the pump
This product or any part of the latter must
be disposed of in accordance with lo
cal standards using the public or private
waste collection authorities as required.
