Notes concerning repair 3.1 General notes Oils > Comply with all relevant laws and regulations for the handling, storage and disposal of oils. > Use only oil of the recommended type, see instructions for use of the pump. Other oils or operating fluids may damage the pump or cause hazards.
Notes concerning repair 3.2 Prior to maintenance and repair Preparation Genuine spare parts > Use only genuine spare parts and accessories. When using components of other manufacturers the safety and per‑ formance of the equipment as well as the electromagnetic compat‑ ibility of the equipment might be reduced.
Notes concerning repair 3.4 Cleaning the components > Dispose of used oil and solvents, taking into account any conta‑ mination from pumped‑off substances / chemicals, in accordance with the relevant regulations. > Avoid damage to running and sealing surfaces. > Use clean oil and a lint‑free cloth to clean sealing rings. Replace defective sealing rings.
Maintenance Maintenance Dismantle the separator and the exhaust filter, if present, before servicing. Check the overpressure valve (accessory) at the oil reservoir during maintenance, if an overpressure valve is installed. Checking the overpressure valve ist described in the instructions for use of the overpressure valve. In the event of oil leakage from the pump (oil dripping from the bottom of the housing), it is often sufficient to replace only the replacement sleeve or the oil reservoir seal.
