6 .1 - HOSE / TUBE CLEANING
The flushing of the hose / tube can be done without removing the hose / tube. Run the pump to flush the hose / tube by pumping
water or cleaning solution through the hose tube (check compatibility with hose / tube material). With numerous products, it is
necessary to clean the hose / tube after every pumping session in order to avoid the hardening of the product inside the hose /
tube.
CAUTION! Make sure that the cleaning liquid temperature is adapted to the hose material.
