Service intervals
The intervals for inspection and replacement of wear
parts vary greatly with the properties of the pumped
liquid and can only be determined by experience.
All internal parts of the D4-pump are lubricated by
the pumped liquid. Pumping a liquid containing
abrasive materials, or a liquid that is corrosive, will
significantly reduce service life and call for shorter
service intervals. Wear in the pump may be indi-
cated by:
• Vibration
• Noise
• Loss of capacity
• Reduction in flow or pressure
• Leakage
In installations where unplanned shut downs must
be avoided, it is advisable to have a complete pump
available for replacement, should any malfunction
occur. Furthermore we recommend planned inspec-
tion and overhaul at regular intervals, not exceeding
3 years.
It is recommended always to have the spares in-
cluded in the minor spare part kit available.
If the pumps operating temperature exceeds
60°C let the pump cool off before any
service, maintenance or dismantling work is
commenced to avoid burn injury.
All work carried out on the pump has to be
performed in such a manner that risks for
personal injury are observed!
When handling liquids that may harm skin
use gloves and/or protective clothing.
When handling liquids which may involve
fire hazards appropriate precautions to
avoid danger are to be taken.
In case of failure for a system with elevated
pressure, fluid jets may cause injury and/or
damage.
Oil leakage may make the floor slippery
and cause personal injury.
!

!
Before any maintenance work, ensure that
the driver is deenergized and the pump
hydraulically isolated.
Connecting and disconnecting of electric
cables must be done only by personnel
authorized to do such work.
Recommendation for maintenance
Every shut down for service of a plant is costly. The
time for repair should therefore be limited to a
minimum which can be accomplished by keeping a
spare pump. The changed pump can later be re-
paired at a suitable place and can then be used as a
spare pump.
For maintenance the following spare parts kits are
recommended:

Inspection of rotors
If the pump is not able to maintain the pressure
inspect the rotor parts by following the instructions
in fig. 10-11.
Internal clearances in the pump, which are vital for
its proper function, may have been affected by wear.
Acceptable wear can be determined only by experi-
ence of the actual application. As a rule of thumb the
following max clearance values may apply:
• Between rotor and bores or bushings: 0.2 mm
• Between rotor flanks: 0.2 mm
For light duties (low pressure, medium viscosity)
even bigger clearances may be acceptable whilst for
low visc. /high pressure duties the limit will be
lower. Also check if there are major scratches on
these parts. If you find any of these problems,
replace the whole pump element, otherwise reas-
semble the pump by following the instructions in
fig. 12 and forward.

O-rings
All O-rings found to be hard or damaged shall be

Inspection of shaft seal
As the seal faces of a mechanical shaft seal are
lubricated by the fluid, a certain leakage will
always be present. Up to ten drops per hour can be
considered as acceptable. An external visual
inspection of the pump is advisable at least every
two days to assure that the shaftseal is not leaking
too much. Excessively leaking shaft seals should be
changed without delay, as the leakage normally will
grow worse and cause additional damage.
Follow the instructions in the dismantling/reassembly
session.
When working with a shaft seal, cleanliness is of
utmost importance. Avoid touching the seal faces. If
necessary, the seal faces should be cleaned immedi-
ately prior to assembly, using a dust free cloth and
clean solvent.
Never use grease on the seal faces.
