It is recommended to empty the pump when it is
not running for a long time at normal temperature.
The drain plug shall be opened until the pump will
be utilized again.
When restarting after long periods of inactivity it is
necessary to repeat the operations described
above in the paragraphs WARNINGS and
STARTING UP.
10. MAINTENANCE
In normal operating conditions the electropump
does not require any kind of maintenance.
It is recommended to check time by time current
absorption, pressure head at closed valve and
maximum flow.
The electropump can only be dismantled by
specialised, skilled personnel in possession of
the qualifications required by the specific
regulations.

Verify that supply voltage is at an
acceptable valve.
Check whether any moving parts
are scraping against fixed parts.
Check the state of the bearings.
Check that all the phases are
present.
Look for possible open or dirty
contacts in the protection.
Look for possible faulty insulation

ENGLISH
In any case all repair and maintenance jobs must be
carried out only after having disconnected the
pump from the power mains.
If the liquid has to be drained out
maintenance, ensure that the liquid
coming out cannot harm persons or
