Measure supply voltage. Compare with allowable
range (within ±5% of rated voltage).
•
Pump inspection. A noticeable drop in performance
may indicate wear in the impeller, etc., or else clog-
ging of the strainer, etc. Remove the clogged debris
and replace any worn parts.
•
Lubricant inspection. •
Change lubricant. •
Designated lubricant: SAE 10W/20W. (2)
Change mechanical seal. (3) •
Overhaul. This should be carried out even if there
are no problems with the pump. The frequency
depends on how continuously the pump is in use. (4)
•
