Warning
The manufacturer shall not be held liable for damage resulting from nonadherence to the operating instructions.
Danger of death due to electric shock
> Prior to work on the pump, always disconnect the drive from the
power supply.
Danger of death due to explosion
> Do not pump any liquids with a flash point of less than 55 °C.
> Do not pump petrol or solvents.
Danger of scald burn due to high media temperature
> Fill the solar system only when cold – if necessary cover the solar
collectors.
Danger of burn due to hot motor casing
> Do not block neither suction nor pressure hose more than 1 minute
to avoid overheating of the motor.
Danger of injury due to splashing liquid
> Connect the hoses tightly to the pump.

Material damage due to dry running
> Never allow the pump to run dry for more than 1 minute.
Caution
Material damage due to tilting of the cart on uneven ground
> Operate the filling unit only on even ground.
Danger of environmental damage due to hazardous pumped media
> Collect escaping pumped media and dispose of according to the
locally applicable regulations.
Material damage due to improper storage
> Prior to extended periods of pump down time clean pump to avoid
adhesions and damage to the impeller.

7. Open tank lid to ensure the circulation
of the air.
Caution: Monitor fluid level in the tank and, if
necessary, refill heat transfer fluid to prevent
air entering the solar circuit.
8. Flush the solar circuit with the fluid.
Check at the vision panel of the filter or
through the tank opening if there are
still air bubbles in the heat transfer fluid.
Continue flushing until there is no air
remaining in the fluid.

6.3 Disassembling the pump
1. Disconnect line connections
2. Unscrew bolts on the pump side
3. Remove cover and side disc
4. Pull housing with impeller and rear side disc off the shaft
6.4 Replacing components
Impeller
To change the impeller we recommend to use a
special tool. See chapter 8, Accessories.
> Push impeller out of the casing
> Insert a new impeller. Observe direction of
impeller wings (see adjacent illustration):
Impeller wings must be bent to the
opposite side of the rotating direction.
Lateral discs
> Turn around or replace
Seals
> Replace O-rings and push firmly into the recesses
Replacing shaft gasket:
1. Remove retaining ring with suitable pliers
2. Push out bearing and shaft gasket
3. Push in new shaft gasket and bearing
4. Insert retaining rings

6.5 Assembling the pump
Assembly of the pump is the reverse of disassembly – see exploded drawing.
1. Connect lateral disc with punched hole to the rear of the casing
2. Push casing with impeller and second lateral disc onto the shaft
3. Insert and tighten bolts
4. Attach lines
The lateral discs and O-rings must lie precisely in the recesses to ensure
that the O-rings are not pinched.
