Before starting operation
z
Before connecting the air supply hose, close
pressure controller and speed regulating valve.
z
Before each operation check air supply hose for damage.
z
When the diaphragm pump is used in a forced-feed
(flooded inlet) situation, it is recommended to install
a check valve between the pump and the container.
This prevents any draining of the container in case
of a diaphragm rupture.
z
When transferring hazardous liquids, the pump should
not be operated with a flooded inlet, but only under
self-priming conditions.
z
Secure the pump legs to a solid base plate.
z
Diameters of hoses and/or pipes should be as
large as possible.
The delivery rate depends on the air supply as well as on the
liquid supply available at the pump inlet. For self-priming operations
it is recommended to use a suction pipe diameter which is larger
in diameter than the discharge pipe (ND suction thread x 1,5).
z
Before starting operation check all screws for
thightness. Re-torque crosswise all screws by
an appropriate torque wrench.
z
In case of leakage during operation, re-torque all
screws on the pump housing by a torque wrench -
but only after having stopped the pump.
