8.3 Maintenance schedule

Inspect pumps running normal operation every 3000
operating hours or at least once a year. If the dry-
solids content of the pumped liquid is very high or
sandy, check the pump at shorter intervals.
Check the following points:
• Power consumption
See section 6.6.1 Nameplate.
• Oil level and oil condition
When the pump is new or after replacement of
the shaft seal, check the oil level after one week
of operation.
Use Shell Ondina X420 oil or similar type. See
section 8.8 Service kits.
• Cable entry
Make sure that the cable entry is
watertight and that the cables are not
sharply bent and/or pinched.
• Pump parts
Check the impeller, the pump housing, etc. for
possible wear. Replace defective parts. See
section 8.8 Service kits.
• Ball bearings
Check the shaft for noisy or heavy operation by
turning the shaft by hand. Replace defective ball
bearings.
A general overhaul of the pump is usually
required in case of defective ball bearings or poor
motor function. This work must be carried out by
Grundfos or a service workshop authorised by
Grundfos.
