Peristaltic Pump Heads & Pump Motor - USC PS10 Operator's Manual

PUMP STANDS PS10
PERISTALTIC PUMP HEADS AND MOTOR
The pump stand utilizes a variable speed pump motor and special norprene pump
tubing for liquid metering. The pump comes equipped with 1, 2 or 3 peristaltic pump
heads. A Low Volume and High Volume configuration are also available. Liquid will
only come into contact with the inside diameter of the pump tubing and not the pump.
This allows for easy cleanup and less maintenance of the pump.
To open the pump head, lift the lever upward. Place the pump tubing inside the pump
head so it fits inside the notches and above the rollers. Lower the lever back down
to close the pump head, clamping the hose inside the head. Wear or fatiguing of the
tubing within the pump head due to compression is normal. When tubing becomes
worn or chemical rates begin to slow down, open the pump head and move the tubing
to a different position. If the entire piece of tubing becomes worn, simply replace with
a new section. When not using the pump stand for several days or when storing,
open the pump head and remove the tubing to prevent any extra compression.
