1.1.4 CheckPoint recommends use of a calibration gauge for your assurance of proper pump function and chemical delivery rate. Please read the section in this Guide entitled 3.2.1 Setting Pump Speed Using a Calibration Gauge for more information.
1.1.11 Pulsation dampeners are sometimes specified in systems utilizing Series 1250 pumps. CheckPoint does not recommend their use because the low flow rates of all Series 1250 pumps do not generate harmful pulsation in most systems.
Check that the packing nut is properly adjusted. In a new pump, proper adjustment is finger-tight, plus 1/6 of a turn. Use a packing adjustment tool (available from CheckPoint at no charge) for best results. IMPORTANT: PLEASE REVIEW Section 5.1: Packing Adjustment on page 14.

Alternatively, if alcohols or other unusual liquids will be present in the supply gas, CheckPoint can supply other seal materials for the motor. CAUTION: Always use a gas pressure regulator if the possibility of supply pressures in excess of 200 psig exists.
For more information on how to set up a recovery system for the GR Series chemical injectors, please contact CheckPoint or an authorized distributor. In many cases CheckPoint may elect to run a test at our factory to determine if the GR will handle your specific needs.
3.2.1.4 Now ensure that the CheckPoint pump is running. Take note of the level of chemical in the gauge using the appropriate scale for the volume units you want to measure the pump’s output in. Usually the gauge will show liters on one scale and quarts or gallons on the other.

Failure to reopen the Chemical Supply Valve will result in the pump quickly depleting the remaining chemical in the gauge and running on air, necessitating pump re-priming.

0.7034 5. PUMP MAINTENANCE The CheckPoint Series 1250 is designed to provide trouble-free operation for many years with little adjustment, lubrication, or other routine maintenance. However, like any other device, proper maintenance can extend the life of the product. This can include packing adjustment, periodic cleaning of the gas and chemical inlets, and lubrication.
Use a CheckPoint T55-101 packing adjuster, which is specifically designed for this purpose. If one is not available, you may order one at no charge directly from CheckPoint. In an emergency or if time is short, a 6” length of ¼” OD tubing or metal rod may be used.

AB056731 (B Model) and AG057154 (GR Model) and earlier. Clean the sleeve and lightly grease it, then install the new O-ring and backup ring supplied with your new packing. If you cannot locate these parts, please contact CheckPoint for replacements. Your 1/8” pump may leak chemical without replacing these components whenever you replace the packing.
Adjust the packing nut per the directions in Section 5.1. 5.3 Lubrication The CheckPoint Series 1250 motor was designed to run under "stone-dry" internal conditions in the motor end. However, regular lubrication will maximize the life of the pump and thus add value to your investment. In addition CP/MAN-PRD-015 REV.
Set the lubricator rate as low as possible, one to two drops per minute, unless cold conditions dictate more in order to prevent freezing of the gas supply. CheckPoint offers both a small and a large in-line lubricator;...
If, after removal of the housing with the spool still inside, the spool will not move with light finger pressure inside the housing, call CheckPoint to order a replacement spool made of a different material.
Chemical may be attacking packing elastomer material The packing will appear swollen or badly damaged once removed from the packing gland if it is being attacked by the chemical. Contact CheckPoint or your authorized CheckPoint distributor. If the chemical has recently been changed or if the pump has just been placed in service, there is a good chance that new packing materials are needed to do the job.
