Notice:
Re-torque fasteners prior to use. See respective chapter in this maintenance manual.
Danger!
Danger of fire and explosion due to inflammable compressed gases within the air supply system!
Combustion hazard. Blast wave: Flying parts can kill you.
Do not operate the pump with compressed flammable gases.
. A lube-free, clean, dry, compressed air source is recommended. Use a filter that is capable of filtering out par-
ticles larger than 50 microns.
. All pumps should be mounted in an upright position.
3. When particles exceed the maximum particle specification of the pump or are sharp enough to cut elastomers
install a particle fluid filter on the fluid suction line.
4. Fluid suction lines and air exhaust lines should never be smaller than the specified pipe size of pump.
5. Apply Teflon tape to threads upon assembly to prevent leakage.
6. Never use pipe dope on air line connections.
7. Never use collapsible tube on fluid inlet.
8. Do not exceed 4 Nm of torque on plastic pipe threads.
9. For installation with connection flanges tighten fasteners to 5 Nm of torque.
0. If changing to a different application reconfirm compatibility of fluid.
2.1 Submerged Applications
. Fluid must be compatible with fasteners and with intermediate material.
. Pipe exhaust above the level of the fluid.
2.2 High Viscosity Applications
. Position the pump close to or below the level of the fluid source.
. Suction lines should be increased in size – up to three times the size of the inlet manifold. The use of dual
manifolds may increase flow rate (only possible with /"- models).
3. Start the pump slowly using a valve on the air line.
2.3 Low Temperature and UV Exposure
. Polypropylene tends to embrittle at freezing temperature. Pump must be insulated or heated, otherwise use
pumps with different materials of construction.
. If excessive icing occurs at the pump exhaust, air source must be dried using mechanical means or through
the introduction of ethyl alcohol in the air line (note explosion protection!).
3. UV rays will damage polypropylene pumps. Either shroud the pumps from UV rays or use pumps with UV sta-
bilized materials.
