Each of the solids separation tanks is assembled with a screen. It is necessary to clean the screens regularly.
- Loosen the screwed connection at the discharge port of the sewage pump.
- Loosen the screwed connection at the solids separation tank.
- Pull the pump discharge port out of the pipework.
- Remove the screen from the connection port of the solids separation tank.
- Use a water jet to clean the solids separation tank, the pump discharge port, and the screen.
- Remove the shut-off ball from the solids separation tank and examine them for damage.
The ball is out-of-round.
There is water in the ball.
There are indentations from the seal kit. Replace the shut-off ball if: - Put the screen back into the connection port of the solids separation tank.
- Put the pump discharge port back into the pipework between the solids separation tank and the sewage pump.
- Fasten the pipework to the solids separation tank and to the discharge port of the sewage pump with the screwed connections. Max. tightening torque: 45 Nm (33.2 ft·lb)
