Inspecting and replacing these parts is performed by the
manufacturer during the general overhaul or by specially
trained personnel.
7.3. Spare Parts
In order to obtain spare parts, identify the required parts
and contact authorized HOMA customer service with your
order. Authentic HOMA parts shall be used to maintain
warranty.
Explosion Proof pumps must be identified as such,
and the pump serial number must be referenced for
proper parts identification.
Les pompes antidéflagrantes doivent être identifiées
comme telles et le numéro de série de la pompe doit
être mentionné pour une identification correcte des
pièces.
8. Shutdown
8.1. Temporary shutdown
For this type of shutdown, the machine remains installed
and is not cut off from the electricity supply. For tempo-
rary shutdown, the machine must remain completely sub-
merged so that it is protected from frost and ice. Make
sure the wet well and the pumped fluid cannot be covered
by ice. This ensures that the machine is always ready for
operation. Carry out a monthly start-up and run the pump
in operating conditions for 5 minutes.
Caution!
Only test the pump under the proper conditions of op-
eration and use. Never run the machine dry. This can
result in irreparable damage!
Mise en guarde !
Ne tester la pompe que dans les conditions de
fonctionnement et d’utilisation appropriées. Ne ja-
mais faire fonctionner la machine à sec. Cela peut
entraîner des dommages irréparables !
8.2. Final shutdown / storage
Switch off the system, disconnect the machine from the
electricity supply and dismantle and store it. Note the fol-
lowing information concerning storage:
Beware of hot parts!
When removing the machine, be careful of the tem-
perature of the housing components. These can heat
up to well above 104°F. Let the machine cool down to
ambient temperature before you touch it.
Attention aux composants chauds !
Lors du démontage de la machine, faire attention
à la température des composants du boîtier. Ces
appareils peuvent atteindre une température bien
supérieure à 40°C. Laisser la machine refroidir à la
température ambiante avant de la toucher
• Clean the machine.
• Store it in a clean, dry place, protect the machine
against frost.
• Place it down vertically onto a firm foundation and se-
cure it against falling.
• Support the cable at the cable entry assembly to help
avoid a permanent deformation.
• Protect the ends of the electric power cable from
moisture.
• Protect the machine from direct sunshine as a pre-
ventive measure against brittleness in elastomer
parts and the impeller and casing coating.
• When storing the machine in a shop please remem-
ber: Radiation and gases which occur during electric
welding destroy the elastomers of the seals.
• During lengthy periods of storage, regularly (for ex-
ample every six months) turn the impeller or propeller
by hand. This prevents indentations in the bearings
and stops the rotor from rusting up.
8.3. Restarting after an extended period of storage
Before restarting the pump, it should be completely re-
commissioned. Clean it of dust and oil deposits, then car-
ry out the necessary maintenance actions (see “Mainte-
nance”). Check that the mechanical shaft seal is in good
order and working properly. Once this work has been
completed, the machine can be installed (see “Installa-
tion”) and connected to the electricity supply by a special-
ist. See “Start-up” for instructions on restarting.
Only restart the machine if it is in perfect condition and
ready for operation.
