5.8 Clean the motor fan cover
Keep the motor fan cover clean. The pump may overheat if the air flow over the motor is restricted.
1. Isolate the pump from the electrical supply.
2. Use a dry cloth and a brush to remove dirt and deposits from the fan cover.
3. Reconnect the electrical supply to the pump.
5.9 Clean and overhaul the pump - (part of major service)
Clean and overhaul the pump as described in the instructions supplied with the major service kit (Table 12).
5.10 Test the motor condition
Test the earth continuity and the insulation resistance of the pump motor in accordance with local regulations for
periodic testing of electrical equipment. Edwards recommends that the earth continuity is less than 0.1 ohm and the
insulation resistance is greater than 10 Mohm. If the motor fails these tests, replace the motor.
5.11 Fit new blades - (part of major service)
Fit new blades to the pump as described in the instructions supplied with the major service kit (Table 12).
