Flush the pump thoroughly with water
and rinse the pump parts in water after
dismantling.

6.2 Operating checks

CAUTION
High sound pressure level
Minor or moderate personal injury
‐
Use hearing protection.
1. Check the pump and pipes for leaks.
2. Check and record the pressure gauge readings
for future reference.
3. Check the differential pressure. If the differential
pressure is lower than anticipated, the motor may
be overloaded. See description of measuring
instruments in section Measuring instruments.
4. Measure the motor current consumption and
compare the result with the rated current stated
on the motor nameplate. In case of overload,
throttle the outlet isolating valve or throttle valve
until the motor is no longer overloaded.
5. Check the bearings for lubrication and
temperature. Normal temperature is 70 °C
(158 °F). The maximum temperature depends on
the type of lubrication. See the lubricating plate on
the pump.
Stop the pump immediately if you notice any defects.
Do not start the pump unless the defects have been
remedied. See section Fault finding the product.
Report immediately to the supplier that you cannot
remedy the defects.

The operating checks apply both during
the startup procedure and when checking
