NB: avoid prolonged operation with the isolating valve
downstream of the system closed, to prevent damaging the

personnel (refer to the definition of qualified

Failure to observe this rule voids the warranty
and puts the health of workers and the
efficiency of the set at serious risk.
Every maintenance and repair operation must
be performed with the set disconnected from
the electrical power supply.

maintenance. The operations to perform are divided between
ordinary and extraordinary maintenance operations depending
on the skills required for the relative operation. Also refer to the
instruction manual for the electric pump, the electric panel or
the control device. Any problems can be solved by consulting
the table below. It is recommended in case of a problem not
indicated in the table, for operations indicated in the table that
require the intervention of qualified personnel (refer to the
definition of qualified personnel in the INTRODUCTION
chapter) or for other requirements, to contact your closest
service centre or distributor.
11.1. ORDINARY MAINTENANCE
Ordinary maintenance consists of simple control operations
that can be performed by the operator who uses the set. The
frequency of the checks is indicated in detail for each
operation.
 Check the state of wear of the set's electrical cables and
the electrical connections. If breakage or deterioration is
found in the cable's protective sheaths, in the case of
insecure connections or any faults, contact your closest
service centre or distributor. (EVERY 6 MONTHS).
 Check that the set is operating efficiency by opening the
valve downstream of the set itself to check that the pumps
start, following the
"STARTING THE SYSTEM" chapter. If problems are
found when starting the pumps, contact your closest
service centre or distributor. (MONTHLY).
 Check that the hydraulic connections upstream and
downstream of the pressure booster system do not leak
while the system is operating. Check that the system
isolating and stop valves are not clogged. If necessary,
restore the line to its original state. (EVERY 6 MONTHS).
11.2. EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
Extraordinary maintenance, just like the repair operations, may
only be performed by qualified personnel (refer to the definition
of qualified personnel in the INTRODUCTION chapter).
If faults are found during operation and ordinary maintenance
(see what is described in the ordinary maintenance chapter) or
if abnormal noises or vibrations are detected, stop the set and
immediately contact your closest service centre or distributor
(the complete list of resellers and service centres can be
viewed at www.ebara.it) for the suitable extraordinary
maintenance operations.
