PST2/PSTF2 400 Operation Operation Before starting 2.7.1 Make sure once again that the product is of the correct voltage and frequency rating. NOTICE: Using the product at other than rated voltage and frequency will not only lower its performance but may damage the product. Note: Confirm the rated voltage and frequency on the model nameplate.
Page 20
Operation PST2/PSTF2 400 COUNTERMEASURE: If the supply voltage is outside the tolerance, possible causes are the power supply capacity or an inadequate extension cable. Look again at the wiring diagram and make sure the conditions are proper. In case of very excessive vibration, unusual noise or odor, turn off the power immediately and consult your nearest dealer or Wacker representative.

PST2/PSTF2 400 Operation Operating water level Do not operate the pump below the C.W.L. (Continuous running Water Level) indicated below. Failure to observe this condition may result in damage to the pump, current leakage or electrical shock. CAUTION See Graphic: wc_gr001222 C.W.L wc_gr001222 NPT 45-degree hose coupling is standard for the US market.
If the pump operates abnormally (i.e. exhibits an unusually large amount of vibration, noise, or odor), disconnect the power supply immediately and contact your Wacker Neuson dealer. Do not operate CAUTION the pump in this condition, otherwise there is a risk of current leakage, electrical shock, or fire.
PST2/PSTF2 400 Operation Residue Plate See graphic: wc_gr001144 The residue plate kit contains the residue plate, washers, and bolts. Reuse nuts from pump assembly. 2.9.1 Remove the strainer (3) by loosening the three nuts (1) and removing the three bolts (2). Keep nuts for reuse. 2.9.2 Position washers (4) and attach the residue plate (5) with new bolts (6) included with kit.
(2) See Lubricant Inspection and Lubricant Change in this section. (3) Specialized know-how is required for inspecting and replacing the mechanical seal. Consult with your nearest dealer or Wacker Neuson representative. (4) Consult with your nearest dealer or Wacker Neuson representative regarding overhauls. wc_tx000112_orig_gb.fm...

Maintenance PST2/PSTF2 400 Disassembly See Graphic: wc_gr000411 Note: For assembly or disassembly, place the pump on its side. Note: It is not necessary to drain the oil for disassembly and inspect ion of the impeller (w) or volute (aa). However, drain oil if further disassembly and testing is required.
PST2/PSTF2 400 Maintenance Impeller Inspection See Graphic: wc_gr000411 3.5.1 Visually inspect impeller (w) for corrosion, wear or damage. Worn impellers compromise peak performance. 3.5.2 Visually inspect impeller key and rotor shaft keyway for signs of uneven wear. 3.5.3 Visually inspect volute (aa) casting for cracks, wear and damage. Look for signs of wear on volute cutwaters and surfaces facing impeller.
Maintenance PST2/PSTF2 400 Impeller Reassembly See Graphic: wc_gr000411 Note: If, upon inspection and testing, a pump component requires replacement, use only original manufacturer’s replacement parts. 3.6.1 Turn pump on its side. 3.6.2 Pre-assemble the dust seal (u) and sleeve (v).
