pump, please pull the mains plug off the socket.
The electrical SPIDO pumps are equipped with
an integrated thermal motor protection feature.
In the case of overload, the motor will switch off
independently and on again after cooling down. For
possible causes and their elimination, please refer
to the "Maintenance and troubleshooting" section.
Please note that the pump can only be operated
with liquids > 50°C for a short period of time (see
Technical data).
Your pump is equipped with a purge which is used
to evacuate the air. Ensure that this purge is clean.

8. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Prior to carrying out any maintenance work,
the pump must be separated from the
electrical mains. If you fail to separate the
unit from mains, there is a risk of an inadvertent start
of the pump.
We decline any liability for damage caused
by inappropriate repair attempts. Any
damage caused by inappropriate repair
attempts will avoid all warranty claims.
Observing the conditions of use and the ranges of
application of the present device will reduce the risk
of possible operational malfunction and contribute
to extend the lifetime of your unit. Sand and other
abrasive matters contained in the liquid discharged
will speed up the process of wearing and tearing and
accelerate the drop in performance.
If the unit is operated properly, it will not require any

maintenance. Where applicable, you may clean the
hydraulic part from sediments and dirt. This can be
done by counter-flushing the unit with clear water
using a hose to be connected through the pressure
port of the pump. To remove tenacious dirt, the foot
of the pump (13) can be removed by loosening the
screws located at the bottom of the pump. To avoid
any hazard, any further disassembly as well as the
replacement of parts must only be done by the
manufacturer or a by an authorised service provider.
Water left in the pump may freeze in case of frost
and thus cause considerable damage. Therefore,
the pump must be removed from the liquid being
discharged and fully drained when temperatures are
below the freezing point of the liquid. Please store
the pump in a dry, frost-protected place.
In the case of malfunction, you should first of all
check whether it was caused by an operating error
or some other reason which cannot be attributed to
a defect of the device - for instance a power failure.
The list below shows some possible malfunctions
of the device, possible causes and tips on their
elimination. All the measures referred to may only
be carried out with the pump being separated from
the electrical mains. If you yourself feel unable to
eliminate any of these malfunctions, please contact
the customer service department or your point of
sales. Any repair beyond the scope specified below
must only be performed by qualified staff. Please
bear in mind that all warranty claims will become
void in the case of damage caused by inappropriate
repair attempts, and that we decline any liability for
any ensuing damage.

Separate the pump from the electrical
mains, allow the system to cool down,
eliminate cause.
Make sure that the minimum suction level
is not fallen short of; if necessary, adjust
