Do not overtighten adjustment bolts. If the engine is noticed “bogging down” during the adjustment procedure, then the rotor-stator is becoming too tight to operate efficiently. If bogging down is noticed during the adjustment procedure or 150 psi cannot be achieved the rotor-stator needs to be replaced. EZG Manufacturing 1-800-417-9272 www.ezgmfg.com Rev000...

• disassembled by removing the clamping nuts facilitating easier clean up. The 38 Special Pump is supplied with an adjustable stator. The sleeve can be tightened to bring • working pressure back to normal range as the stator wears. This should be done evenly along the length and in small increments.
MAINTENANCE The 38 Special Pump units are very simple to maintain. The biggest part of maintenance on the unit is cleaning after a job. Failure to clean properly after use will damage seals, paint, and moving parts due to material build up. This causes wear and likely hinder operation and startup next time.
