Maintenance Tips

• System Preparation:

• Ensure the system is filled with water or a maximum 50% propylene-glycol solution before operating the pump. The pump's water-lubricated bearings must not run dry.

• Air Purging:

• Use the pump’s built-in air purging feature to eliminate air. If air remains, manually vent the system to prevent noise and inefficiency.

• Routine Inspection:

• Regularly check for abnormal noise or vibrations, which could indicate cavitation or debris in the impeller.

• LED Diagnostics:

• Monitor the LED indicator for error codes. A red LED may indicate a blocked rotor, in which case, the pump will attempt to unblock itself automatically. If unsuccessful, cleaning the impeller may be necessary.

• Electrical Checks:

• Ensure electrical connections are secure, and verify that the power supply matches the pump's requirements. If the LED is off, check the power supply and circuit breaker

• Environmental Considerations:

• Install the pump in a dry, indoor area, and avoid using petroleum-based fluids or chemical additives to prevent damage to the internal components.

• Installation Best Practices:

• Mount the pump with vibration dampeners and rotate the control cover as needed for flexible installation.
