Pressure Relief Procedure
1.Shut off the air to the pump.
2.Open any available outbound fluid valve to relieve fluid pressure from the pump.
3.If fluid is still in the outbound fluid lines, isolate this fluid as follows:
a.Close the outbound fluid valves.
b.Slowly remove the fluid connections from the pump, and have a container ready to catch any fluid that runs out.
Sanitizing the Pump Before First Use
The pump was built and tested using a food grade 
lubricant.
It is the user’s responsibility to properly sanitize the pump before first use. It is up to the user whether this will include disassembling and cleaning individual parts or simply flushing pump with a sanitizing solution. As necessary, follow the steps under Starting and Adjust- ing the Pump below, under Flushing on page 11, or under Disassembly in the Service section on pages 19, 21.
Starting and Adjusting the Pump
1.Be sure the pump is properly grounded. Refer to Grounding on page 5.
2.Check connections to be sure they are tight. Tighten fluid inlet and outlet connections securely.
3.Place the suction tube (if used) in fluid to be pumped.
If fluid inlet pressure to the pump is more than 25% of the outlet working pressure, the ball check valves will not close fast enough, resulting in inef- ficient pump operation.
4.Place the end of fluid hose (L) into an appropriate container.
5.Close the fluid drain valve (J).
6.Back out the air regulator (C) knob, and open all
7.If the fluid hose has a dispensing device, hold it open while continuing with the following step.
8.Slowly increase air pressure with the air regulator
(C) until the pump starts to cycle. Do not exceed the maximum operating air pressure as listed in the Technical Data section on pages 34 and 37. Allow the pump to cycle slowly until all air is pushed out of the lines and the pump is primed.
Pump Shutdown
At the end of the work shift, relieve pressure.
