OPERATION
The reciprocating pumps run automatically, i.e. during operational shutdown (no fluid drawn from
fluid pressure system) no fluid is pumped. If there is a slight leakage, however, pumping will start.
It is therefore recommended that the pump be disconnected from the air supply overnight or at the
weekend and, if possible, material pressure be reduced by withdrawal (after the air is disconnected.)
This can be achieved by using a spray device for example.
It is also recommended to drain the detergent before an
operating pause (over night) and to fill up again when work
starts again (on the next day) provided that it is not yet
contaminated.
In order to drain the detergent, turn the detergent filling
connector to the left (max 180°).
Before filling, turn back to the starting position.
Do not tighten with a tool (lever)
- Risk of breaking
Before long-term shutdown, e.g. company holidays, pumps carrying paint should be flushed.
In order to avoid the hardening of paint residue the detergent should remain in the pump during
shutdown.
We recommend using alkyl sulphon acidic ester, "ASE" phenol, as the flushing agent.
Consult the material supplier concerning the compatibility of the detergent.
Do not use nitro thinners or solvents as flushing agents.
