8. MAINTENANCE
To perform the maintenance of the pump, no special (custom made) tools are needed.
Before initiating maintenance procedures disconnect all power sources to the
equipment and discharge any parts which may retain an electric charge. Use
proper locks to avoid accidental start-up of the pump system. Failure to comply
may result in severe personal injury.
When performing the maintenance of the pump, use the safety equipment
appropriate for the pumped fluid, materials, and location of the equipment,
such as gloves, safety glasses, harnesses and other equipment regarded as
mandatory by the plant’s safety instructions.
IMPORTANT: For any component/accessory that has not been manufactured
by Ruhrpumpen and is part of the pump’s equipment, a complete reading of
said component/accessory manufacturer’s manual must be carried out for
further information on proper maintenance procedures and relevant safety
warnings.
Correct and orderly installation/assembly is necessary for trouble-free
operation of the unit. Ruhrpumpen does not assume any liability for damage
resulting from inadequate installation/assembly. The chosen location for
installation must offer enough space for maintenance activities. Ruhrpumpen
recommends consulting also API Recommended Practices 686 to ensure proper
installation in your facility.
