MAINTENANCE

1.   The pump has been designed and built to require a minimal

     amount of maintenance.

2.  All maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel.

PRIMING

When using the pump for the first time or if using after a long 

period of time, the pump may need priming. Priming is done by 

stroking the handle 4-5 times.

Note:

 

If the pump is not used for a long period of time, it may 

lose its prime and may need re-priming.

1. 

Take out the pump body from the box and adjust the height 

of bung assembly (16) to be threaded onto the drum.

2.  Connect grounding wire

3.  Screw the outlet spout (12) onto the pump head (1) along 

with the teflon seal placed in the kit (17).

4.  Start operating the T-Handle (7) by moving it up and 

down. Within a maximum of 4 strokes, the pump will start 

dispensing media. The higher the lift of the handle, the 

greater the discharge will be per stroke.

5.  Pump comes with 5 flow control tubes in the kit (17) which 

can be inserted between spring (6) & nut (3) according to 

the flow requirement.

STEPS ON HOW TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED SEAL 

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION

Failure to follow all safety information can result in death, personal injury 

and/or property damage.

• 

Dispensing media can lead to a buildup of static electric charge 

that could spark and ignite flammable fumes.  Always connect a 

grounding wire from the pump’s treaded stud and locknut to an 

electrical system grounding point.

• 

Keep all sources of fire away from the pump.

• 

Never let a body part come in front of, or in contact with the pump 

outlet.

• 

Wear safety glasses at all times when working with this pump.

• 

Wear a face shield, proper apparel and suitable respiratory 

equipment when pumping hazardous chemicals.

• 

In case of accident, immediately seek medical attention.  Do not try 

to treat the injury yourself.

• 

Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted.

• 

Use only genuine factory parts for repair.

Note: The flow control tubes will restrict the flow and each tube will 

approximately reduce the flow rate by 100 ml (3.4 oz.). Combination of 

tubes can be used together, but the discharge will reduce.

1. 

Hold the rod (5) into a vice 

and rotate the T-Handle (7) 

anticlockwise to disassemble 

it from the rod (5).

2.  Now, remove the spring 

(6) from the rod (5).

3.  Unscrew the nut (3) from 

the rod (5).

4.  Pull out the damaged 

seal (4).

5.  Now take the seal (4) 

to be replaced from the 

repair kit and slide it 

over the rod (5).

6.  Assemble the pump by 

repeating the steps  

(1-3) in the reverse 

order.
