Operation - Finish Thompson EF Series Operations & Parts Manual

1. Make sure the motor (electric or air) is properly installed on the pump tube and is in the off position. See
motor instruction manual for installation instructions.
2. Insert the pump tube into the fluid to be dispensed and the hose into the container to be filled prior to starting
the pump. Bung adapters are available to provide a tighter fit between the pump tube and bung opening of a
standard drum. Check drum pump accessories at www.finishthompson.com or contact your local Finish Thompson
distributor for bung adapter info.
3. Make sure the pump's discharge hose is properly secured before operating the motor, torque Finish Thompson hose
clamps to 25 in-lbs(2.8 N·m).
4. Begin pumping by turning the motor on and verifying that there are no leaks. If leaks are noticed immediately turn the
motor off and check all discharge hose connections.
NEVER allow the pump to run dry.
NEVER pump liquids containing solids that can damage internal pump parts (i.e. metal chips). Pumping solids
can lead to increased wear.
EFP & EFV model pumps have a built-in hose & cord clip. You can use these clips to store your hose and keep the plug off the floor,
free of damage and corrosion. When selecting a discharge hose, you should use a 3/4" ID reinforced chemically compatible hose
secured with a stainless steel hose clamp. See figures A and B below.
