Repair work on explosion-proof submersible pumps may only be carried out by approved personnel in
approved workshops.
When carrying out repairs only original spare parts, supplied by the manufacturer, should be used.
6.
Cleaning
If the pump is used for transportable applications, then in order to avoid deposits of dirt and encrustation it
should be cleaned after each usage by pumping clear water. In the case of fixed installation, we recommend
that the functioning of the automatic level control system be checked regularly. By switching the selection switch
(switch setting “HAND”) the sump will be emptied. If deposits of dirt are visible on the floats then these should
be cleaned. After cleaning, the pump should be rinsed out with clear water and a number of automatic pumping
cycles carried out.
6.5
Ventingofthevolute
After lowering the pump into a sump full of water an air lock may occur in the volute and cause pumping
problems. To clear the air lock, raise the pump in the medium and then lower it again. If necessary, repeat this
venting procedure.
