MAINTENANCE
Pump maintenance
Leakage inspection
The pump is equipped with a gasket system in the shaft and gaskets in
the seating pump to prevent adhesive leaks through it. Some adhesive can
sometimes leak out and therefore the gasket system in the shaft or the
gaskets in the seating pump must be changed. Before making any changes,
make sure the position of the leak.
Warning: Change the gasket when the pump is hot.
Remove the shaft coupling from the pump. Remove the screws fastening the
gasket. Replace the gasket system in the shaft or the gaskets in the seating
pump and reassemble.
However, before making any changes and in case of doubt should check with
the Technical Assistance Service of Meler.
Warning: Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses. Risk of burns.
Gear motor maintenance
Cleaning the motor fan
Regularly check the condition of the motor fan and its vent grid.
If dust has accumulated, blow gently with air to clean (remove the protective
cover if necessary).
Checking the lubricant
The gears are delivered filled with synthetic grease for lubrication -free from
external contamination- ‘for life’. Room temperature 0 ÷ 40°C with peaks of up
to -20°C and +50°C.
Only use lubricants recommended by the manufacturer. Other types of
lubricants may cause premature wear or damage the gear.
Approximately 0.10 kg of lubricating grease fits into the gear model used.
