Minor or moderate personal injury
The oil chamber may be under
pressure. Loosen the screws carefully
and do not remove them until the
pressure has been completely relieved.
After 3000 operating hours or at least once
a year, change the oil in the oil chamber as
described below. If the shaft seal has been
changed, the oil must be changed as well.
When the pump is new or the shaft seal is replaced,
check the oil level and water content after one week
of operation. If there is more than 20 % extra liquid
(water) in the oil chamber, the shaft seal is defective.
