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.

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 30.

Flushing and Storage

Flush the pump often enough to prevent the fluid you are pumping from drying or freezing in the pump and damaging it. Always flush the pump and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 11 before storing it for any length of time. Use a compatible solvent.

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.
