• Protect yourself with a protective cap. The fluid may spray out of the pump.
• Open the venting plugs Be and Bb.
• If no drain line is provided, take precautions so that the liquid is not contaminating the environment.
Bb
Ba
•Open the drain plug Ba at the bottom of the pump housing.
•Let drain the liquid by gravity.
•Purge pump spaces with flush media or cleaning liquid by connecting a purge system to the following inlet openings:
- Ba, Be: plugs close to both flanges for purging the pump casing part
- Bb: | plug on top of the intermediate cover for purging the magnetic coupling |
Note: If toxic liquids were pumped special precautions regarding flushing/cleaning of the pump and personal protection equipment must be taken before disassembling the pump.
