Declarations Declaration of When this pump unit is used as a stand alone pump it complies with: conformity Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, EMC Directive 2004/108/EC. Declaration of When this pump unit is to be installed into a machine or is to be assembled with other machines for installations, it must not be put into service until the relevant machinery has Incorporation been declared in conformity with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
use valves with a straight fluid path. use slow sweeping bends with minimum radius equal to four to five times the tubing diameter. keep the pumphead rollers and track clean. The self-priming nature of peristaltic pumps means valves are not required. Any valves fitted must cause minimum restriction to flow in the pumping circuit.
Start up Before starting and after prolonged storage of the gear units, remove the plug from the vent screw on top of the casing to avoid excessive pressure in the gearbox, which may cause leakage at the shaft seals. Troubleshooting Should the pump fail to operate, make the following checks to determine whether or not servicing is required.
Installation A muffler is supplied with the air motor, but not installed. Install a moisture trap and filter in the air line ahead of the motor. If condensates need to be flushed out of the motor, use clean, dry air at low pressure. For efficiency of output and speed control, use air lines of the same size or next pipe size larger than the intake port of the motor.

501RLC tube loading. Duplex (twin pumphead) units Isolate the pump from mains supply. Unlock and open the hinged guard. Swing out the rotor crank handle until it locks into position. Loosen the rotor screw and give the rotor a sharp tap to release it. Pull the rotor slightly forward from its seated position on the drive shaft so that the pinned collet clears the drive shaft dog and it can rotate freely .
