3.0 - ASSEMBL Y , FITTING, INSTALLATION, DISASSEMBL Y , RE-FITTING
The procedures concerning Rotary blades vacuum pump versions .../G and .../GA are given in the GARDA/GARDA EVO group
instructions.
When carrying out maintenance operations, inspections, checks and repairs you are advised to wear the individual
means of protection listed in this manual.
All maintenance operations, inspections, checks and repairs should be carried out with the greatest care and with
the tractor not running and the power take-off disconnected.
It is essential to prevent sewage from entering the Rotary blades vacuum pumps. The entrance of sewage would
cause the blades and consequently the rotor to break.
It is therefore necessary to equip the system with an overflow valve, "3", and a safety overflow valve, "2", between
the Rotary blades vacuum pump and the tank car (see Figure 1)
