This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is To avoid fire and explosion, always ground equipment manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from and waste container.
Operation Prime the Pump Calibrate Chemical Dosage 1. Verify all connections and fluid lines are tight. 1. Set the pump to an estimated setting of the flow rate. NOTE: The pressure regulator (E) and inlet pneumatic needle valve (B) both effect the pump cycle rate. After 2.
Maintenance Maintenance Preventive Maintenance Schedule The operating conditions of your particular pump deter- mines how often maintenance is required. Establish a preventive maintenance schedule by recording when and what kind of maintenance is needed, and then determine a regular schedule for checking your pump. Tighten Threaded Connections Check that all threaded connections are tight at routine intervals.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 11, before checking or repairing pump. 2. Check all possible problems and causes before dis- assembling pump. Problem Cause Solution Air bubbles in fluid. Fluid inlet line is loose. Tighten. Fluid leaking. Loose fittings.
• Always use Genuine Graco Parts and Accessories, available from your Graco distributor. If you supply your own accessories, be sure they are adequately sized and pressure rated for your system. Disconnect the Pump Lower Threads are very sharp.
