8.1.  Servicing schedule 

Component 

Servicing interval 

Pump 

-

 

Regular inspection for external 
damage or leaks 

Pump head 

-

 

Clean if the flow rate decreases, the 
pump does not work or no vacuum 
is created (Chapter 8.2) 

Diaphragm, valve 
plates and seals  

-

 

Change as soon as pumping capac-
ity decreases, preferably sooner 

Tab. 14 

 

Standard regulations dictate that the bearings in the pump be 

replaced at regular intervals as a precautionary measure. 
 
Depending on the pressure in your system the recommended time 
interval will vary - see table below. 
 
Please contact your local KNF Company to discuss the best way of 
implementing this service.

8.2.  Cleaning 

 

WARNING 

 Health  hazard  due  to  dangerous  substances  in  the 

pump 
Depending on the medium transferred, caustic burns 
or poisoning are possible. 

  Wear  protective  clothing  if  necessary,  e.g.  pro-

tective gloves. 

  Flush  the  pump  with  a  neutral  liquid  and  pump 

empty. 

 

8.2.1. Flushing the pump 

  If  transferring  aggressive  medium,  KNF  recommends  flushing 

the pump with a neutral fluid under atmospheric conditions for 
a  few  minutes  before  switching  off  in  order  to  extend  the  ser-
vice life of the diaphragm.
