nly the recommended lubricants, or lubricating oils with similar
characteristics and known and experimented quality, should be used.
Oil changes must be made with the oil at a sufficiently high
temperature, after leaving the pump to cool for a few minutes
following operation.
The drain and filler plugs must not be left open any longer than is
strictly necessary. When performing maintenance, look out for all
signals that may precede a breakdown, in particular:
 traces of corrosion;
 oil leaks;
 slack joints or couplings.
Maintenance technicians must:
 be aware of all applicable local directives concerning accident
prevention during work on motor-driven pumps and shoul

now how to apply them;
 have read and understood all the sections on “Safety Rules";
 be familiar with the essential design features and operation of the
pump;
 know how to use and consult the pump documentation;
 be concerned about proper operation of the pump;
 make a note of any irregularities in operation of the pump and
take the necessary action, where appropriate.
For all problems arising, or to order spare parts, refer to our service
department.
