Maintenance
Flush the Pump With Compatible Solvent
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fluid injection injury, static
sparking and splashing, read and follow Flushing
Safety under FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD on
page 5.
1. Flush often enough to prevent fluid from drying in
the pump and damaging it.
2. Always flush before storing.
a. If you are pumping water-based fluid, first flush
the pump with water, then with mineral spirits
or a compatible oil-based solvent.
b. Leave the mineral spirits or oil-based solvent
in the pump to protect the pump parts from
corrosion.
3. Be sure to eliminate all air from the system.
Tighten Threaded Connections
1. Before each use, check all hoses for wear or dam-
age and replace as necessary. Be sure all
threaded connections are tight, and leak-free.
2. At least every six months, check and tighten all
threaded connections, including manifold screws,
clamps, plugs, and valve screws.
Check and Service the Lubricator, Regula-
tor, and Filter
Check and service according to the instructions sup-
plied with them. See Manual 308169 for oil recommen-
dations.
