Operation
Step 6 is for Oil Pumps Only:
6.The thermal relief feature of this oil pump can increase the amount of time needed to fully prime the pump when compared to pumps without a ther- mal relief feature. To minimize this effect, prime the pump before connecting it to an already primed dis- tribution system.
NOTICE
Never allow the pump to run dry of the fluid being pumped. A dry pump will quickly accelerate to a high speed, possibly damaging itself. If your pump acceler- ates quickly, or is running too fast, stop it immediately and check the fluid supply. If the supply container is empty and air has been pumped into the lines, prime the pump and lines with fluid, or flush it and leave it filled with a compatible solvent. Be sure to eliminate all air from the fluid system.
NOTE: A pump runaway valve can be installed on the air line to automatically shut off the pump if it starts to run too fast.
7.Read and follow the instructions supplied with each component in your system.
8.When shutting off the system and before checking or servicing, relieve pressure following pressure relief procedure, page 10.
