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.
Draining of oil
1. Place the pump on a level surface with one oil
screw pointing downwards.
2. Place a 1 litre capacity transparent container
under the oil screw.
3. Remove the lower oil screw.
4. Remove the upper oil screw. Inspect the oil. If the
colour is greyish white, the oil may contain water.
If the oil contains water, the shaft seal is defective
and must be replaced. If the oil quantity is less
than the specified, the shaft seal is defective. If
the shaft seal is not replaced, it can cause motor
damage.
5. Clean the surfaces for gaskets and oil screws.
