Protection
WARNING
Water, or even moist air, can cause your pump to
corrode. To help prevent corrosion, NEVER leave
the pump filled with water, water-based fluid or
air. After normal flushing, flush the pump again
with mineral spirits or oil-based solvent and relieve
pressure. This leaves a thin film of mineral spirits in
the pump to protect it from corrosion.
Air Motor Lubrication
If you are not using an automatic air line oiler, each day
r e m o v e t h e h o s e f r o m t h e p u m p a i r i n l e t . P l a c e a b o u t 1 5
drops of light machine oil in the inlet. Reattach the hose
and turn on the air to blow oil into the motor.
