Commissioning

IMPORTANT
• Before commissioning the pump, check that the breather/vent has been installed. The pump
will not operate correctly unless the breather vent has been installed. A shipping plug is
installed in the breather/ vent hole to prevent oil spillage since the pump comes filled with oil.
Remove the shipping plug and replace with the breather/ vent supplied.
• Check that pump capabilities are not exceeded when metering highly viscous or dense
chemicals.
• Check that liquid end materials are chemically resistant to the metered fluid (see the
resistance list on line at www.prominent.us or the latest catalog)
• The pump can not be operated other than in the way described in the "Technical data"
• For chemicals with a particle size greater than 0.01 in (0.3mm), it is imperative that a filter is
installed in the suction line.
Venting the Liquid End
Venting the liquid end or suction against pressure:
WARNING
• Always depressurise the suction and discharge tubing before working on the pump!
• Always wear appropriate protective equipment when metering hazardous or unknown liquids!
Priming the liquid end
1. Detach the discharge tubing
2. Install a section of transparent tube
3. Run the pump slowly until chemical appears in the transparent tube section
4. Detach the transparent tube
5. Attach the discharge tubing
GUIDELINE on valve installation:
If experiencing priming problems during installation, place the valve on a stable surface and tap
the ball seat lightly with a brass rod and an approx. 1/2 lb (250 g) hammer. Prime valves when
damp (See fig. 3).
The pump is now ready to operate.
