Solution
1. Check tubing connections to source
and drain containers.
2. Check that the motor is rotating in
the correct direction. Refer to
Figure 5-5.
The motor only turns in one
direction. Make sure you use a
bi-directional motor.
Adjust the Clamp Screw. Refer to
Section 5.4.
1. Make sure the tubing is loaded
properly. The tubing should be
centered in the middle of the rollers.
2. Make sure the tubing wall thickness
is correct (refer to Table 9-1).
3. The tubing inside diameter may be
too large for the pump. (refer to
Table 9-1).
4. The tubing durometer may be too
high for the pump (refer to Chapter
9).
5. The tubing may be caught on the
bottom roller. Reposition the roller
slightly and load the tubing again.
Use long mounting screws
