Operation

Operation of Remote Piloted Pumps

1.Fig. 2 and Parts Drawings. Follow preceding steps 1 through 7 of Starting and Adjusting Pump.

2.Open air regulator (C).

WARNING

The pump may cycle once before the external sig- nal is applied. Injury is possible. If pump cycles, wait until end before proceeding.

3.Pump will operate when air pressure is alternately applied and relieved to push type connectors (14).

NOTE: Leaving air pressure applied to the air motor for extended periods when the pump is not running may shorten the diaphragm life. Using a 3–way solenoid valve to automatically relieve the pressure on the air motor when the metering cycle is complete prevents this from occurring.

Pump Shutdown

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the Pressure Relief Procedure at left.

At the end of the work shift, relieve the pressure.

Maintenance

Lubrication

The air valve is designed to operate unlubricated. However, if lubrication is desired, every 500 hours of operation (or monthly) remove the hose from the pump air inlet and add two drops of machine oil to the air inlet.

CAUTION

Do not over-lubricate the pump. Oil is exhausted through the muffler, which could contaminate your fluid supply or other equipment. Excessive lubrica- tion can also cause the pump to malfunction.

Flushing and Storage

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 12.

Flush the pump often enough to prevent the fluid you are pumping from drying or freezing in the pump and damaging it. Flush with a fluid that is compatible with the fluid you are pumping and with the wetted parts in your system. Check with your fluid manufacturer or supplier for recommended flushing fluids and flushing frequency.

Always flush the pump and relieve the pressure before storing it for any length of time.

Tightening Threaded Connections

Before each use, check all hoses for wear or damage, and replace as necessary. Check to be sure all threaded connections are tight and leak free. Check fasteners. Tighten or retorque as necessary. Although pump use varies, a general guideline is to retorque fasteners every two months. See Torque Sequence, page 32.

Preventive Maintenance Schedule

Establish a preventive maintenance schedule, based on the pump’s service history. This is especially impor- tant for prevention of spills or leakage due to dia- phragm failure.
