Schedule
Establish a preventive maintenance schedule
based on the pump’s service history. Scheduled
maintenance is especially important to prevent spills
or leakage due to diaphragm failure. A clogged
muffler may restrict pump performance. Inspect
air lines and muffler media regularly to maintain
performance.
Lubrication Lubrication Lubrication
The pump is lubricated at the factory. It is designed
to require no further lubrication for the life of the
packings. There is no need to add an inline lubricator
under normal operating conditions.
