PSG2 500 Operation 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.

PSG2 500 Maintenance Note: Worn lubricant and other waste products should be disposed of by a qualified agent, in accord with applicable laws. The oil plug gasket should be replaced each time the lubricant is inspected or changed. See Graphic: wc_gr004661 wc_gr004661 Ref.
Maintenance PSG2 500 Disassembly/Reassembly Before disassembling the pump, make certain the power supply (circuit breaker, etc.) is turned off. Then, unplug the cable assembly from the receptacle or detach it from the terminals. To avoid electrical shock, WARNING DO NOT work with wet hands.
Maintenance Disassembly See Graphic: wc_gr004650 Note: To enhance serviceability, the PSG2 500 has been designed so that the entire pump portion illustrated below can be disassembled with a 12mm box wrench. Stand the pump upside down with the discharge connection facing downward during disassembly and reassembly.
Maintenance PSG2 500 Reassembly See Graphic: wc_gr004650, wc_gr004651 The reassembly procedure is in the reverse sequence of disassembly. 3.5.1 Remove sand and other debris from the impeller (5), pump casing (6) and suction cover (3) before reassembly. 3.5.2 Install the V-ring (8) on the outside of the shaft sleeve (7). During the installation, be careful not to apply oil to the area in which the V-ring contacts the shaft sleeve.
PSG2 500 Maintenance Troubleshooting Before ordering repairs, carefully read through this manual, then repeat the inspection. If the problem remains, contact your nearest dealer or Wacker representative. ALWAYS turn off the power before inspecting the pump. Failure to observe this precaution can result in serious accident.
