8 MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT
WARNING: Before any repairs to the electric pump, check that the power supply is
disconnected and that it cannot be accidentally reconnected during maintenance
operations.
WARNING: If the electric pump is used for hot and/or hazardous liquids, it is essential to
inform the personnel who will carry out the repair.
In this case, clean the pump so as to ensure the safety of the operator.
WARNING: Repairing or having the electric pump repaired by personnel not authorised by
the manufacturer means losing the warranty and operating with unsafe and potentially
hazardous equipment.
WARNING: Be careful that the discharged liquid does not damage people or things.
The electric pump does not require any ordinary scheduled maintenance.
If the user wishes to prepare a scheduled maintenance plan, bear in mind that the due dates depend
on the type of liquid pumped and the running conditions.
For spare parts and maintenance documentation, contact our sales and service office. Spare parts see
(Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 and 14).

For problems and solutions, consult table below: "TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE"
ACTION
Dismantle the pump and clean it.
Clean the pipe.
Check that the pipe is airtight right up to the pump and seal it.
Re-prime it by filling the pump. Check that the base valve is airtight.
Excessive loss of head in suction or the suction height is excessive
(check the NPSH of the installed pump).
Check the voltage of the motor terminals and the correct diameter of
the conductors.
Check and fully tighten the nuts on the bolts of the studs.
Dismantle the pump and clean it.
Check that the pump can rotate freely without any abnormal
resistance.
Check the pump connections.
Check the voltage of the motor terminals. The voltage should be ±
10% of the rated voltage.
Dismantle the pump and clean it.
The motor is designed to function at a maximum ambient
temperature of +40°C.
Check that the connections respect the diagram shown inside the
cover of the terminal box and the data plate information.
Dismantle the pump and correct the problem.
Replace it.
Repeat the priming operation.
Invert the direction of rotation by exchanging two phase wires on the
motor terminal board or the electrical control panel.
Check the voltage of the motor terminals and the correct diameter of
the conductors.
Control the intensity with an ammeter, set the value of the intensity
shown on the motor rating plate.
Check that the diameter of the conductors of the electric cable is
correct.
Check the electric cable or fuse and replace if necessary.
Replace it.
Check the installation conditions and the recommendations of this
manual.
The inlet piping should have the same diameter as the inlet mouth.
Clean the inlet duct.
