Preventive Maintenance 
 On all relief valve systems, the strainer is located in one of the pump pressure
ports. On a TPM, an additional strainer is located in one of the pump vacuum
ports.
Note: An optional panel-mounted strainer is mounted on some apparatus.
 Disconnect tubing then remove strainer from respective tap.
 Clean any debris from strainer and check strainer for damage.
 Using a suitable thread sealant (Loctite PST or equivalent) reinstall strainer.
 Reconnect tubing.
4. Test apparatus and check for leaks around strainer fittings.
5. Place apparatus back in service.
Check Drain Lines to Multi-Drain
Drains are supplied on the pump and piping at the lowest points where water could
collect and freeze. Most drain lines are piped together to a multi-drain to allow the
entire system to be drained by one valve.
It is necessary to inspect each line of the multi-drain to ensure the entire system is
draining when the valve is operated. Inspect each connection and verify the individual
lines to the multi-drain are free of debris. Repair and/or replace any lines that are
damaged, kinked, or corroded.
Clean Priming Pump
Disassemble the priming pump and clean the housing and vanes. Inspect the vanes
for wear and replace as needed. Reassemble the pump and test for proper operation.
(See separate manual provided.)
IMPORTANT!
DO NO USE A LUBRICANT ON THE PUMP VANES AND VANE SLOTS. LUBRICANT AND
COLD WATER FORM AN EVENTUAL GUMMY RESIDUE THAT RENDERS THE PRIMING
SYSTEM INOPERATIVE. A COMPLETE AND THOROUGH DISASSEMBLY AND CLEAN-
ING IS THEN REQUIRED.
MIV Relief Valve Test and Adjustment
