Installation Mount The Pump 1. Be sure the mounting surface can support the weight of the pump, hoses, and accessories, as well as the stress caused during operation. 2. For all mountings, be sure the pump is secured with screws through the mounting feet. Always To avoid serious injury from toxic fluid or fumes: mount the pump upright.
Installation Ground The System Air Lines 1. Install an air regulator and gauge (C) to control the fluid pressure. The fluid stall pressure will be the same as the setting of the air regulator. 2. Locate a bleed-type master air valve (B) close to the pump and use it to relieve trapped air.
Installation Air Exhaust Ventilation To provide a remote exhaust: 1. Use Kit 17F612 (NPT) or 17F613 (BSPT), sold separately. 2. Remove the muffler (U) from the pump air exhaust port (K). 3. Install the adaptor from the kit. If pumping toxic fluids, you must vent the exhaust away from people, animals, food handling areas, 4.
Installation Fluid Supply Line 3. For maximum suction lift (wet and dry), see Technical Data, page 31. For best results, always install the pump as close as possible to the 1. Use grounded, flexible fluid hoses (E). See material source. Minimize suction requirements Ground The System, page to maximize pump performance.
Operation Operation Start and Adjust the Pump NOTICE Tighten Bolts To avoid damage to your pump, be certain that all pumped fluids are compatible with wetted parts. Before mounting and using the pump for the Technical Data, page first time, check and retorque all external bolts. Remove all protective bolt covers (37).
Operation Pressure Relief Procedure 2. Open the dispensing valve, if used. 3. Open the fluid drain valve to relieve fluid Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure pressure. Have a container ready to catch the whenever you see this symbol. drainage. Pump Shutdown This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is relieved manually.
