  • Page 5 EN 6024.1, to avoid risks deriving from the use of electricity (cf. relevant part dealing with installation). Bertolini "IDB" membrane pumps are designed from materials which are compatible for use with water and the majority of pesticide and weed-killing products currently on sale in the market in the concentrations advised by the manufacturers(Cf.
  • Page 6: Installation

    5. Installation The pump should be installed in perfect alignment with the mechanical transmission parts (pulleys, multipliers, reducers) and in a vertical position. This is necessary to ensure that the oil tank remains perpendicular to the ground. Check that the anchoring of the pump support to the machine base or installation location is appropriate and effected by means of properly locked screws in order to guarantee radial blocking.
  • Page 7 Particular attention should be given to the size of the Suction filter and/or of any diversion valve (three way valve). The flow capacity of the filter should be 1.5 times the flow capacity of the pump. An under-sized filter will reduce both the life of the membranes and the performance of the pump.
  • Page 8 IDB PUMP OIL LEVEL EXAMPLE OF CALIBRATION OF ACCUMULATOR Accumulator: The pressure accumulator on the pump (if fitted) or on the delivery side (pressure side) is automatically pre-loaded at a pressure of 6 – 8 bars usable for the pump's maximum working pressure. For any different working pressure the accumulator pressure must be re-calibrated as indicated in the following table.
  • Page 9 WORKING PRESSURE (bars) ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE (bar) 20 ~ 50 6 ÷ 8 10 ~ 20 5 ÷ 6 5 ~ 10 2 ÷ 5 (1 bar = 14,5 P.S.I.) For pressures less than 15 bars it is advisable to check that the accumulator pressure is at least equal to 1/3 of the working pressure to ensure a better control of the pulsing effect.
  • Page 10 6.4. After use – It is essential, in order to avoid damage to the pump, to wash it after use. This should be done by running the pump under pressure for a few minutes with clean water. You should then empty it by reducing the pressure to "0" and leaving it to run dry for a few minutes.
  • Page 11 7. ORDINARY MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! Before beginning any maintenance works or inspection of the pump, wash it with pure water, stop the power take off and disconnect it. Give particular attention to the stability and positioning of the machinery on which the pump is mounted to avoid inconvenience or nuisance to yourself or others.
  • Page 12 M10 x 1.5= 44Nm (valve cover screws) 7.2) Replacement of Membrane/piston WARNING! If it is not possible to replace the membranes in the event of breakage, empty the water out of the carter and introduce oil or diesel in order to preserve the internal pump organs from oxidisation (rust).
  • Page 13: Oil Change

    The membrane must be fitted with the piston at its lower rest position and with its edges perfectly inserted in the groove running round the circumference; e) Re-assemble the heads and lock the related screws; f) Fill the pump with oil (use only SAE 30 motor oil) through the tank while at the same time turning the shaft manually.
