Corrosion Protection for Pump
CAUTION
Water, or even moist air, can cause your pump to
corrode. To help prevent corrosion, NEVER leave the
pump filled with water or air. After normal flushing,
flush the pump again with mineral spirits or oil-based
solvent, relieve pressure, and leave the mineral spir-
its in the pump. Be sure to follow the
Pressure Re-
lief Procedure Warning

Lubrication
If you are not using an accessory air line lubricator,
manually lubricate the motor daily. Disconnect the air
regulator, place about 15 drops of light machine oil in
the pump air inlet, reconnect the regulator and turn on
the air supply to blow oil into the motor.
