Magnum Venus Plastech APS FIT-F-CMB-APS-6 - Manual (Page 13)

Filtered and oiled air will allow the pump to operate more efficiently and yield a longer life to operating parts
and mechanisms.
Keep oiler supplied with MVP Pump Motor Oil. A filter capable of filtering particles larger than 50 microns
should be used with an oiler.
Maintenance: If the pump is to be inoperative for a lengthy period of time (even for a few hours) disconnect
air and relieve all pressure from system.
Periodically flush pump with a solvent that is compatible with the material being pumped. Pour a little throat
seal lubricant into the solvent cup to keep upper packings pliable and to keep material drag-thru soft.
Material drag-thru that is allowed to harden, will scour the piston rod. This will create excessive leakage and
rapid packing wear.
Disassembly should be done on a clean work bench with clean cloths to keep parts clean.
If replacement parts are necessary, consult Parts List for identification.
Before assembling, lubricate parts where required. When assembling O-rings, or parts adjacent to O-rings,
care must be excercised to prevent damage to O-ring and O-ring groove surfaces.
