2. Ensure the plumbing is installed to and from the injection pump.
3. Ensure the chemical tanks for the pump(s) have chemical or liquid in them for calibration functions.
NOTE: It may require 3 - 5 gallons of chemical in each tank to ensure that the system is primed properly.
PRIME THE INJECTION PUMP
1. Open the hand valve(s) between the supply tank and injection pump so that the valves direct flow from the
tank towards the pump. Ensure the tank valves, fill station valves, rinse valves, and drain valves are all in the
correct position.
2. Set the hand valve on the injection pump outlet to recirculate product back to the supply tank.
3. Lift the plunger handle on the pump calibrator to the top of the calibration cylinder.
4. Verify the following conditions are present:
a. Injection pressure is less than 12 PSI [82.7 kPa].
b. Pump is in the off condition.
c. Vacuum pressure less than 11.5 inches of mercury [29 cm of mercury].
NOTE: The vacuum switch on the pump will engage and a flow alarm will be displayed if product cannot be
drawn into the pump (e.g. vacuum pressure at or above 11.5 inches 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 low viscosity
products may cause high vacuum pressures and cause the pump not to operate properly.
5. Touch the Prime Pump button to initiate pump priming.
6. Allow the pump to prime. The priming procedure will run until the controller detects the pump has primed. If
the pump is unable to prime, the console will end the priming procedure after two minutes and display a
“prime time-out” message.
NOTE: If the console displays an error message during the priming process, verify that the conditions listed
in
step 4 are present. If the problem continues, refer to the Sidekick Pro Calibration and Operation
Manual for assistance with addressing issues during the pump priming process.
Press the “OK” button to stop the priming procedure at any time. If the pump fails to prime
successfully after the first attempt, restart the priming procedure. If the pump is still unable to prime
successfully. Check the system for leaks, verify valves are turned on, verify hoses are filled with
product. It may be necessary to recalibrate the pressure transducer. Refer to
“Pressure Settings Tab”
on page 63 for calibration instructions.
CALIBRATE THE INJECTION PUMP
Prior to starting a chemical injection application, verify that the pump is properly calibrated and operational by
performing a pump calibration.
1. Ensure the pump is primed as described in the Pump Priming and Calibration Procedures section on page 67
before proceeding with the calibration process.
2. If installed, set the hand valve on the injection pump outlet to recirculate 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.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the calibrator cover.
