Although your purchase is covered by a warranty for certain parts, it is important to emphasize that periodic maintenance is essential to maintaining long-term performance.

In this case we advise you to:

* Once a month (at least once a quarter) change or top up the oil in the engine gearbox. Regularly changing or adding oil will extend the life of your product and ensure it continues to function as intended. This simple maintenance ritual can help prevent potential problems and ensure reliability.

* The control will have to be checked for defects once every 3 years. Electronics can wear out or age over time, which can reduce performance or even cause malfunctions. By performing regular maintenance and replacing devices as necessary, you can ensure that your electronics remain reliable and functioning properly. We recommend conducting a professional inspection to identify and resolve any problems in a timely manner. This way you can continue to benefit from the latest technologies and maintain optimal performance.

* We recommend having the motor of your drum filter checked once every three years for possible defects. The motor is a crucial part of the filtration system and regular inspections can help identify and correct any problems in a timely manner. Additionally, we recommend considering engine replacement every five years, even if there are no immediate problems. By periodically renewing the motor, you can ensure the long-term reliability of your drum filter and prevent possible malfunctions. Our maintenance team is ready to support you in planning these checks and any replacements, so that you can continue to enjoy your filtration system worry-free.

* Regularly (at least once a month) lubricate the silicone seal of the drum with MPF Lubricant. By regularly lubricating the silicone seal, it remains supple and elastic, which extends the life and effectiveness of your drum filter. Please feel free to contact us for more information about maintaining your drum filter and obtaining the right lubricant for your seal. We are happy to help you ensure that your filtration system continues to function optimally.

* Check the float regularly. The float plays a crucial role in rinsing your drum filter. We therefore recommend replacing the float once every three years to ensure that your drum filter continues to function as intended. Regular checking and replacement of the float will help prevent possible malfunctions and contribute to trouble-free operation of your drum filter. Please feel free to contact us for more information about maintaining your drum filter and obtaining replacement parts if necessary. We are ready to support you in maintaining your filtration system for optimal operation.

* It is essential to always store the drum filter motor in a dry place. If the engine is exposed to wet/rainy conditions, it can cause serious damage and significantly shorten the life of the product. Make sure that a hood is always mounted over the engine so that rainwater has no chance of penetrating the engine. Ignoring this instruction may void the warranty on the drum filter.

If you have any further questions regarding the maintenance of your product, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are always ready to help you and answer any questions you may have.
