Maintenance Schedule | Flushing and Storage |
Establish a preventive maintenance schedule, based on the pump’s service history. Scheduled maintenance is especially important to prevent spills or leakage due to diaphragm failure.
Lubrication
The pump is lubricated at the factory. It is designed to require no further lubrication for the life of the pump. An inline lubricator is not needed, and is not recommended, under normal operating conditions.
Tighten 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
is to retorque fasteners every two months. See Torque Instructions, page 16.
•Flush before fluid can dry in the equipment, at the end of the day, before storing, and before repairing equipment.
•Flush at the lowest pressure possible. Check connectors for leaks and tighten as necessary.
•Flush with a fluid that is compatible with the fluid being dispensed and the equipment wetted parts.
Flush the pump often enough to prevent the fluid you are pumping from drying or freezing in the pump and damaging it. Use a compatible solvent.
Always flush the pump and relieve the pressure before storing it for any length of time.
