5. Service & Maintenance #
NOTE – Turn off the Reclaim System completely before starting mud removal. It is recommended to keep the system off for at 8 least hours before re-starting to allow dirt to settle. Ensure the Clarifier Tank is filled after pumping the tank before re-starting the system.
The best method to maintain this system is to take a few minutes daily to review and record the operational data from the system and examine the unit for leaks or any indication of a mechanical or electrical fault.
If a change in performance or operation is observed, it is essential to take corrective action quickly to minimize the potential damage to the system.
There are elements of the system that will require normal maintenance actions. These items are listed in the following section.

5.1.1 SEG Pump Oil Change Procedure #
WARNING! When loosening the screws of the oil chamber, note that pressure may have built up in the chamber. Do not remove the screws until pressure has been fully relieved.
- Remove both oil screws to allow the oil to drain from the chamber.
- Check the oil for water or impurities. If the shaft seal has been removed, the oil will give a good indication of the condition of the shaft seal.
- If the oil is grayish white like milk or contains a large quantity of water, the shaft seal should be replaced as the primary part of the seal is worn. If the seal is still used, the motor will be damaged within a short time.
- Place the pump in such a position that it is lying on the stator housing and the discharge flange and that the oil screws are pointing upwards and the Oil Filling screw is in the 12 oโclock position. (Fig. 5.1.1 – 1).
- Fill oil into the oil chamber through the upper hole until it starts running out of the lower hole. The oil level is now correct.
- Fit both oil screws using the packing material included in the kit.
