4.3 Shaft seal run-in
The shaft-seal faces are lubricated by the pumped
liquid, meaning that there may be a certain amount
of leakage from the shaft seal.
When the pump is started up for the first time, or
when the shaft seal has been replaced, a certain
run-in period is required before the leakage is
reduced to an acceptable level. The time required for
this depends on the operating conditions, that is,
every time the operating conditions change, a new
run-in period will be started.
Under normal conditions, the leaking liquid will
evaporate. As a result, no leakage will be detected.
Warning
Check that the voltage and frequency of
the product match voltage and frequency
of the installation site.
Warning
If the power supply cable is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer, his
service agent or similarly qualified persons
