Maintenance

Maintenance Schedule

Establish a preventive maintenance schedule,

based on the pump’s service history. Sched-

uled maintenance is especially important to

prevent spills or leakage due to diaphragm

failure.

Lubrication

The pump is lubricated at the factory. It is

designed to require no further lubrication for

the life of the pump.

Tighten 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 Instructions,

page 16.

Flushing and Storage

Flush before fluid can dry in the equipment,

at the end of the day, before storing, and

before repairing equipment.

Flush at the lowest pressure possible.

Check connectors for leaks and tighten as

necessary.

Flush with a fluid that is compatible with the

fluid being dispensed and the equipment

wetted parts.

Flush the pump often enough to prevent the

fluid you are pumping from drying or freezing

in the pump and damaging it. Use a compati-

ble solvent.

Always flush the pump and relieve the pres-

sure before storing it for any length of time.
