1.1.4 CheckPoint recommends use of a calibration gauge for your assurance of proper pump function and chemical delivery rate. Please read the section in this Guide entitled 3.2.1 Setting Pump Speed Using a Calibration Gauge on page 8 for more information.
Use of a pre- suction in-line chemical filter such as the CheckPoint Series FSTS and/or a ceramic or Hastelloy plunger is recommended if symptoms continue. Call CheckPoint for appropriate filter element sizing criteria.
1.2.4 Check that the packing nut is properly adjusted. In a new pump, proper adjustment is finger-tight, plus 1/8 of a turn. Use a packing adjustment tool (available from CheckPoint at no charge) for best results. IMPORTANT: PLEASE REVIEW Section 4.1: Packing Adjustment on page 10.

To find the Amplification Ratio for your pump, please see Figures 2 and 3 below. NOTE: If the above formula yields a result of < 50 PSIG, use 50 PSIG as your supply pressure. FIGURE 2: AMPLIFICATION RATIO TABLE, 5400 SERIES PLUNGER DIAMETER (IN) AMPLIFICATION RATIO 0.500...
2.1.1 The exhaust gas can be exhausted directly to atmosphere, or can be recovered to a lower pressure gas system. If vented directly to atmosphere, CheckPoint supplies the pump with a muffler to reduce exhaust noise. 2.1.2 If recovering the exhaust gas, connect the gas recovery line from the process to the open 1/2” tubing connector on the injector.

4.1.1 Use a CheckPoint T10010 packing adjuster, which is specifically designed for this purpose. If one is not available, you may order one at no charge directly from CheckPoint. In an emergency or if time is short, a 6” length of ¼”...
Set the lubricator rate as low as possible, one to two drops per minute, unless cold conditions dictate more in order to prevent freezing of the gas supply. CheckPoint offers both a small and a large in-line lubricator;...
If, after removal of the housing with the spool still inside, the spool will not move within the housing, call CheckPoint to order a replacement spool made of a different material.
5.5.3 Remember that after you repair your CheckPoint pump, it should perform as well as it did when it was new If it doesn’t, call us to determine what can be done to restore the pump to “like-new” performance.
