closed. If there is any risk that the product may be hardened, crystallized or frozen in the pump it
should be thoroughly drained and cleaned immediately after use. Similar attention must be
applied to the seal flushing system. An authorized electrician should remove power before
servicing to prevent from any unintended start of the pump.
Reference numbers are indicated in the exploded view in chapter 8.
