MAINTENANCE
DANGER – Risk of electrocution
•
Disconnect the pump from the electrical power supply before starting any maintenance.
CAUTION
•
With the pump stopped, periodically check and clean the pre-filter basket. To remove the basket,
place the suction and discharge valves in the "closed" position. Release the pre-filter cover, remove
the basket and clean it under running water. To avoid deterioration, do not bang it. Gently insert the
basket until it returns to its initial position.
•
Place the lid gasket and grease it with Vaseline.
•
Do not put chemicals in the basket. Do not forget that valve position changes are always carried out
with the engine stopped.
•
Before starting the pump again, place the filter cover gasket properly and grease it with Vaseline.
Place the cap with its gasket, fill the prefilter and the pump body with water. Check that the pump
shaft rotates freely, using a screwdriver at the rear of the motor. Do not start if blocked.
•
If there is a risk of frost or when the pump must remain inactive for a long period of time, we must
proceed to empty the pump. To do this, we remove the drain plugs that are at the bottom of the
pump body and the prefilter, if your pump has a prefilter.
If the pump remains stopped for long periods, or if there is
a danger of frost, the prefilter and the pump body must be
emptied through the drain hole.
