deflate the seal and raise the ram plate out of the
material or keep the ram plate lowered in the bin.
Some materials dry and harden when exposed to air.
Cover materials when they are not being used.
Flushing and S
torage
• 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.
• Always flush the pump and relieve the pressure
before storing it for any length of time.
NOTICE
Flush the pump often enough to prevent the
fluid you are pumping from drying or freezing in
the pump and damaging it. Store the pump at
32°F (0°C) or higher. Exposure to extreme low
temperatures may result in damage to plastic parts.
