The work site must be clean, free of salt or brine water and iron
filings. Clean the workplace with flushing water, if it is necessary.
1. If the pump is to be repaired at a service workshop, do the
following:
2. Check that the pump has not been damaged during
transportation.
3. Identify the type designation. See the pump nameplate.
4. If the repair is to be done on site before dismantling the pump,
check the installation:
– wiring connections (power supply and signals)
– hydraulic connections
– inlet and outlet pressure and flowmeter value(s), if possible
– protection: pressure switches, flow switches and motor
protection etc.
5. Compare the motor voltage and frequency details on the
motor and frequency converter nameplates with the power
supply available.
– Read and note down the trip and failure log of the frequency
converter.
5.1 Dismantling pump and motor
1. Remove the Victaulic clamp at the inlet-and outlet.
2. Remove the service connector, if it is installed.
4. Loosen the clamps and pull the pump towards the outlet port if
the pump is mounted on a base frame.

5.7 Assembling the pump
16. Mount the pump again. Make sure that the guide pins point
downwards during assembly.
18. Loosen the union nut by 90 ° angle. Use markings if needed.
The union nut is loosen again in order to create a small gap
between the pump and sleeve flange.

20. Connect the pump and motor again. Make sure that the mark
"UP" points upwards so the drain hole points downwards.
Before aligning the pump and motor, make sure that the drain
holes are pointing downwards. At the same time, the inlet pipe
must point upwards (position 12 o'clock).
This has to be done to ensure correct operation of the pump as
well as easy service and maintenance. You can change the
position of the inlet pipe at a later time. Carefully follow the
instructions in section 5.8.2 Aligning motor and pump.

Do not perform a standard insulation test (high

TM00 1371 3597
Measure the current of each phase while the
pump is operating at a constant discharge
pressure, if possible at the capacity where the
motor is most heavily loaded.
For information on the normal operating
current, see the "Technical specifications".
TM00 1372 3597
When the motor is loaded, the voltage must be within ±
5 % of the rated voltage. If the voltage varies more
than that, the motor may burn.
If the voltage is constantly too high or too low, replace
the motor by a motor that corresponds to the supply
voltage.
Large variations in the supply voltage indicate poor
power supply, stop the pump until the defect has been
found.
It may be necessary to reset the frequency converter.
The difference between the current of the phase with
the highest amp consumption and the one with the
lowest current consumption must not exceed 10 % of
the lowest current consumption.
If the difference exceeds 10 % of the lowest current
consumption, or if the current exceeds the full-load
current, check these possible faults:
• A damaged pump is causing the motor to be
overloaded. Pull the pump out of the sleeve for
overhaul.
• The motor windings are short-circuited or partly
disjointed.
