Operation
Flushing the System Before
Initial Use
Flushing the system before its initial use can prevent
material contamination, which may cause the material to
fail or perform poorly.
The equipment was tested with lightweight oil, which is
left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid
contaminating your fluid with oil, flush the equipment
with a compatible solvent before using the equipment.
To avoid fire and explosion, always ground equipment
and waste container. To avoid static sparking and
injury from splashing, always flush at the lowest
possible pressure.
There must be a minimum of 10 feet (3 m) of fluid
supply hose on the outlet to prevent damage to the
unit.
To flush the system, perform the following procedure:
1. Select the material for the initial material load.
2. Verify whether the factory-test oil and the initial
material load are compatible:
a. If the two substances are compatible, omit the
remaining steps in this procedure and perform
the Initial System Startup Procedure on page
29.
b. If the two substances are incompatible, perform
the remaining steps in this procedure to flush
the system.
NOTE: Use fluids and solvents that are chemically
compatible with the equipment wetted parts. See the
Technical Specifications sections of all the equipment
manuals. Always read the material manufacturer's
literature before using fluid or solvent in this Pump.
3. Select a drum containing a compatible material that
can dissolve, clean, and eliminate the factory test oil

from the system. If necessary, check with the
material supplier for a recommended flush material.
4. Before flushing, be sure the entire system and
flushing drums are properly grounded. Refer to
Grounding the System on page 24.
5. Perform steps 9 through 15 of the Initial System
Startup Procedure on page 29 to load the drum
containing the solvent.
6. Run the flush material through the system for
approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
7. Remove the drum containing the flush material.
Adjusting the Drum Lid Holder
Before Initial Use
1. Adjust the lower Drum Lid Holder (J) channel as low
as it will go on the side of the ram post. The channel
should be 1 in. (25 mm) higher from the floor in the
front compared to the back.

2. Loosen the upper Drum Lid Holder (J) channel.
Place the lid in the center of the lower channel.
Lower the upper channel until it contacts the lid. Tilt
the rear of the upper channel down 1/2 to 1 in. (13 to
25 mm) and tighten all bolts.
3. The lid should roll in and out from the front and not
roll out the rear.
