Operation
Corrosion Protection for Pump Lubrication
If you are not using an accessory air line lubricator,
manually lubricate the motor daily. Disconnect the air
regulator, place about 15 drops of light machine oil in the
pump air inlet, reconnect the regulator and turn on the air
supply to blow oil into the motor.
Troubleshooting
1. Relieve the pressure.
2. Check all other possible remedies before
disassembling the pump.
CAUTION
Water, or even moist air, can cause your pump to
corrode. To help prevent corrosion, NEVER leave the
pump filled with water or air. After normal flushing, flush
the pump again with mineral spirits solvent (also called
white spirits) or oil-based solvent, relieve pressure, and
leave the mineral spirits solvent (also called white
spirits) in the pump. Be sure to follow the Pressure
Relief Procedure Warning at left.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you are
instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 7.
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
