Design AmaSlide is a maintenance aid for horizontally dry-installed pump sets (1) of the
AmarexKRT type series.
Function After the discharge cover fasteners (3) have been removed from the pump casing (2),
the entire back pull-out unit (4) including motor can be removed from the pump
casing (2).
The back pull-out unit (4) including motor can be moved along the guide rails (7)
until it reaches the servicing position. Remove and re-position the locking bolts (6),
