Shutdown and Care of the Pump

For overnight shutdown, follow the Pressure Relief Pro- cedure Warning on page 6. Always stop the pump at the bottom of the stroke to prevent the fluid from drying on the exposed displacement rod and damaging the throat packings.

Always flush the pump before the fluid dries on the dis- placement rod. Never leave water or water-based fluid in the pump overnight. First, flush with water or a compat- ible solvent, then with mineral spirits. Relieve the pres- sure, but leave the mineral spirits in the pump to protect the parts from corrosion.
