Flush the Pump
To avoid fire and explosion, always ground the
equipment and the waste container. To avoid static
sparking and injury from splashing, always flush at
the lowest possible pressure.
NOTE: Pumps (AC) are tested with lightweight oil,
which is left in to protect the Pump parts. If the material
you are using may be contaminated by the oil, flush it
out with a compatible solvent before using the Pump
(AC).
Always flush at the lowest pressure possible. Check
connectors for leaks and tighten as necessary. Flush
with a fluid that is compatible with the material being
dispensed and the equipment wetted parts.
NOTE: Check with your material manufacturer or sup-
plier for recommended flushing fluids and flushing fre-
quency.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the pump from rust, never
leave water or water-based fluid in a carbon steel
pump overnight. If you are pumping a water-based
fluid, flush with water first. Then flush with a rust
inhibitor, such as mineral spirits. Relieve pressure,
but leave the rust inhibitor in the pump to protect
parts from corrosion.
For information about Priming the system, refer to
Priming Mode on page 42.
1. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 48.
2. Place a pail of compatible solvent in the Ram (AA).

3. Connect a hose to the 1 in. npt fitting on the top of
the Check Valve Block (AE). Place the other end of
the hose into a grounded waste container.
4. Turn on the Disconnect Switch (AZ). If using a
heated system, also turn on the Power Junction
Box switch (AK).
5. Press the Startup button (CA) on the ADM (AF) to
enable the system.
6. At the ADM (AF) Run screen, press the soft key next
to the
icon to enter editing mode.
7. Press the
soft key to enter the pump priming
mode. Two fields appear on the screen next to the
pump: target pressure (top) and target flow (bot-
tom).
8. Enter 100 psi (0.7 MPa, 7 bar) as the target pres-
sure and enter 25 cc/min as the target flow.
9. Press the
soft key to initiate the Pump (AC)
and start flushing the system. This loads the solvent
into the Pump (AC).
10. Adjust pressure as necessary and flush the system
until clear solvent flows from the hose.
11. Press the
soft key to stop the Pump (AC).
12. Press the
soft key to exit editing mode.
13. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 48.
14. Remove the solvent pail from the Ram (AA).
15. Repeat steps 1 through 14 for the second pump in
a Tandem system.
