Using the Pump:
The Pump must never be Operated before the Delivery and Suction-lines have been
connected.
Daily Use:
1.
If Flexible Pipes are used, attach the ends of the Piping to the Tanks. In the absence of an appropriate
Slot, solidly grasp the Delivery Pipe before beginning Dispensing.
2.
Before starting the Pump, make sure that the Delivery Valve is closed (Dispensing Nozzle or Line Valve)
3.
Turn the ON/OFF switch ON
4.
Open the Delivery Valve, solidly grasping the Pipe
5.
While Dispensing, do not inhale the pumped product
6.
Should you spill any Fluid while dispensing, bank it with earth or sand to absorb it and limit its spreading
7.
Close the Delivery Valve to stop Dispensing
8.
When Dispensing is finished, Turn-off the Pump
Note:
The by-pass valve allows functioning with delivery closed only for short periods (Max. 3 minutes).
To avoid damaging the Pump, after use, make sure the Pump is OFF.
In case of a Power Break, Switch the Pump OFF straight away. Should any Sealants be used on the Suction
and Delivery Circuit of the Pump, make sure that these products are not released inside the Pump. Foreign
bodies in the Suction and Delivery Circuit of the Pump could cause malfunctioning and breakage of the Pump
components. In case of prolonged Dry-running of the Pump, the Suction Circuit may be empty and Suction
may become difficult. If so, fill the Suction Circuit with Demineralized Water.
Maintenance:
Safety Instructions:
The Pump is designed and built to require a minimal amount of maintenance. Before
carrying out any maintenance work, disconnect the Dispensing System from any Electrical and Hydraulic
Power Source. During maintenance, the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is mandatory. Always
bear in mind the following basic recommendations for a good functioning of the Pump:
•
All maintenance must be performed by Qualified Personnel Only. Tampering can lead to performance
Degradation, injury to persons and/or property and may result in the warranty being voided.
Whenever there is risk of Frost, empty the Circuit and the Pump, taking care to place the Pump in an
environment where the temperature is no lower than 32°F (0°C). Check that the Labels found on the Dispensing
System do not deteriorate or become detached over time.
Measures to be taken:
Once a Week:
Check that the Pipe Connections are not loose to prevent any leaks
•
Check and keep the Filter installed on the Suction-line clean
Once a Month:
Check the Pump Body and keep it Clean and Free of any Impurities
•
Check that the Electrical Supply Cables are in Good Working Condition.
Long periods without the Pump being used:
Whenever it is thought that the system will remain unused for at least 15 days, it must be emptied in order
to prevent the product from crystallizing inside. This should be followed by a Flushing Cycle. It is strongly
recommended that you Flush the Pump with Demineralized Water.
