c. Vacuum pressure is less than 11.5” of mercury [29 cm of mercury].
NOTE: The vacuum switch on the pump will engage and a flow alarm will display if the product cannot be
drawn into the pump (e/g vacuum pressure at or above 11.5” of mercury [29 cm of mercury]. Check
screens, chemical tank lids, hose diameter and any hand valves between the chemical tank and pump
inlet. Also, verify that the product is flowing freely. Cold temperatures and high viscosity products may
cause high vacuum pressures and cause the pump to not operate properly.
5. Touch the Sidekick Pro ICD Menu button for the desired pump product number.

6. Select the Diagnostics Information tab.

7. Select the Prime Pump button to initiate the pump priming sequence. Allow the pump to prime. The priming
procedure will run until the controller detects the pump is primed. If the pump is unable to prime, the console
will end the priming procedure after two minutes and display an error.

NOTE: If the console displays an error message during the priming process, verify that the conditions listed
in step 4 exist. Press the Stop softkey at any time to stop the priming procedure. If the pump fails to
prime after the first attempt, restart the priming procedure. If the pump is still unable to prime
successfully, check the system for leaks, verify the valves are turned on, and verify the hoses are filled
with product. It may be necessary to recalibrate the pressure transducer.
PUMP CALIBRATION
Prior to starting a chemical injection application, verify the pump is calibrated and operational.
1. Ensure that the pump is primed.
2. Set the hand valve on the injection pump outlet to recirculate the product back to the supply tank.
3. Remove the cover from the injection pump calibrator.
4. Press the calibrator all the way down and gently replace the calibrator cover.
