6. CLEANING, STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE

fi«
CAUTION
• Only start cleaning and maintenance once the instructions in the 'SWITCHING OFF' section
have been completed, i.e. when there are no moving parts, there is no pressurised liquid in the
hoses and after the machine that incorporates the pump has cooled down completely.
It is particularly important to always disconnect the spark plug.
• Follow the instructions for cleaning, storage and maintenance recommended by the Manufacturer
of the machine that incorporates the pump.
6.1 CLEANING AND STORAGE
Follow the instructions in the "SWITCHING OFF" section as well as the instructions in the operating
and maintenance manual for the machine that incorporates the pump.
WARNING
• Always drain the pump of liquid after use as instructed in the operating and maintenance manual
for the machine that incorporates the pump.
• The pump is not frost proof.
In order to prevent the formation of ice inside the pump in cold areas, it is possible to take up a motor-
vehicle grade anti freeze before starting the "SWITCHING OFF" procedure. Consult a Skilled
Technician first in order to check the liquid will not damage its gaskets, and then drain it completely.
If it is not possible to protect the pump in cold areas as described above, it must be brought into a
warm room for the time required to melt any ice which may have formed inside it before attempting
to start it up again.
If these instructions are not followed, the pump may be seriously damaged.

CAUTION
• dispose of anti-freeze liquid correctly; do not dump it in the environment.

water should be tolerated.
A Skilled Technician should test the appliance if this is not the case.
ACTION
• Check the water inlet circuit for leaks
• Check the water inlet filter and clean if necessary

it is connected to and/or to the structure of the machine
that incorporates it.
