3.1
Putting into service
♦
It is advisable to operate the pump while filling to facilitate the distribution of grease through the pumping area
and to avoid the formation of air bubbles.
♦
The unit should be opened and repaired ONLY by qualified personnel.
♦
The pump MUST NOT be submersed in fluids or utilised in environments which are particularly aggressive or
explosive/inflammable if not prepared for this purpose beforehand by the supplier.
♦
Use gloves and safety glasses as required in the lubrication oil safety chart.
♦
DO NOT use aggressive lubricants with NBR gaskets and seals; if in doubt consult the Engineering
Department of Dropsa SpA, who will provide a chart with the details of recommended oils
♦
DO NOT ignore dangers to health and observe all hygiene standards.
Action to be taken prior to start up
♦
Verify the integrity of the pump;
♦
Fill the tank with suitable lubricant;
♦
Verify that the pump is at operating temperature and the tubing free from air bubbles;
♦
Check that the electrical connections have been effected correctly;
♦
On starting the pump, check the direction of rotation of the electric motor: If rotating in the wrong
direction invert the cable connections.

WARNING
For grease pumps it is essential that the paddle rotates in the direction of the arrow shown on the plate on
the tank (anticlockwise). Where the direction is incorrect, invert the two electrical power cables to the
motor.
3.2 Use
1. Verify the starting of the pump;
2. Check the rotation of the paddle (only for grease pumps);
