5.0 MAINTENANCE
5.1 Routine Inspection
5.2 Replacing the Tubing
The pump should be inspected on a weekly basis. Inspect for any signs of leaking and early
indications of potential tube failure (e.g., swelling, cracking or discoloration). Replace any worn
or damaged components immediately. Always check the chemical compatibility and pressure
rating of the tubing prior to use.
Pump tubing must be replaced on a regular basis. While replacement within 500 hours of run
time is recommended, tube longevity is ultimately determined by many factors, including tube
formulation, the chemical composition of the uid being pumped, system back pressure, pump
speed, temperature, and more.
WARNING - Tubing connections may be under pressure. Always depressurize the system prior to
connecting or disconnecting the pump.
WARNING - Tubing may contain chemicals. Wear protective clothing, gloves and safety glasses
when working with or near the pump.
WARNING - Severe pinching of ngers can occur while installing and removing the tubing. Caution
must be used to keep ngers away from rotating parts. Always disconnect the pump
before beginning tube replacement procedures.
Use only factory designated tubing. Incorrect tubing can adversely affect performance or damage the pump.
