Pulsafeeder PULSAtron Series HV EN - Manual (Page 4)

An air bleed valve is available for most models with tubing connections. Air purges should be performed when the pump-
chamber contains no fluid at the time of start-up. As a safety measure, connect the return tubing to the air bleed valve
and bypass fluid back to storage tank or a suitable drain.
For accurate volume output, the pump must be calibrated under typical operating conditions.
Chemicals used may be dangerous and should be used carefully and according to warnings on the label. Follow the
directions given with each type of chemical. Do not assume chemicals are the same because they look alike. Always
store chemicals in a safe location away from children and others. We cannot be responsible for the misuse of chemicals
being fed by the pump. Always have the material safety data sheet (MSDS) available for any fluid being pumped.
All pumps are pretested with water before shipment. Remove head and dry thoroughly if you are pumping a material that
will react with water, (i.e. sulfuric acid, polymers). Valve seats, ball checks, gaskets, and diaphragm should also be dried.
Before placing pump into service, extreme care should be taken to follow this procedure.
Valve cartridges are stamped to indicate fluid flow direction. Always install so that markings read from top to bottom, with
the arrow pointing in the direction of flow.
When metering hazardous material DO NOT use plastic tubing, strictly use proper rigid pipe. Consult supplier for special
adapters or valve assemblies.
Pump is NOT to be used to handle or meter flammable liquids or materials.
Standard white discharge tubing is not recommended for installations exposed to direct sunlight. Consult supplier for
special black tubing.
Factory will not be held responsible for improper installation of pump, or plumbing. All cautions are to be read thoroughly
prior to hookup and plumbing. For all installations a professional plumber should be consulted. Always adhere to local
plumbing codes and requirements.
When using pump with pressurized systems, make sure the pressure of the system does not exceed the maximum
pressure rating on the pump data label. Be sure to depressurize system prior to hook up or disconnecting a metering
pump.
Electronic power modules are equipped with automatic reset thermal overload devices and may reset unexpectedly.
