u
on a pump in operation.
Follow the safety procedures for handling the product
u
being pumped. If the tube has ruptured, the pump head
and rotor assembly may be contaminated and/or the pump
head may be pressurized.
Decontaminate before handling as per local safety
u
regulations.
Appropriate measures must be taken to relieve any
u
pressure build up.
Risk of electrocution!
Have all electrical work carried out only by qualified
u
electricians.
12.1 Inspections
The inspection intervals depend on the pump operating
cycle.
1.
Check at appropriate intervals:
– Normal operating conditions unchanged
2.
For trouble-free operation, always ensure the following:
– No leaks
– No unusual running noises or vibrations
– Tube in position
12.2 Maintenance
These pumps are generally maintenance free and any
work should normally be limited to periodic inspections
and cleaning; these may be more frequent in dusty, humid
and/or hot conditions.
The pump motor is lubricated for life and should not re-
quire attention. Rotor assembly components will wear and
may need replacing. Pump tubing will not last forever;
establish suitable tube replacement schedule to prevent
inconvenient tube failure.
The Vantage 5000 contains no user serviceable parts
and is factory sealed to confirm integrity. Pump
warranty will be invalidated if the seal is broken.
