SECTION 3: OPERATION
!
WARNING: Tube breakage may result in fluid being sprayed from the pump. Use appropriate
measures to protect operator and equipment.
CAUTION: Hot Surface. Do not touch.
CAUTION: To avoid electrical shock, the power cord protective grounding conductor must
be connected to ground. Not for operation in wet locations as defined by EN61010-1.
NOTE:
• It is recommended that the pump head be rinsed after every pumping process to prevent the piston from
seizing due to remaining particles (especially after pumping media containing salt and protein).
• Do not pump media containing particles that exceed a diameter of 0.8 mm.
• Piston fractures are not covered by your warranty.
• Do not use gear pumps to pump liquids containing particles. Even the smallest particles can have an
abrasive effect that can damage or destroy a gear pump within a few seconds.
• Corrosive liquids may eventually produce leak paths around the sealing surfaces of the pump head. The
pump should be regularly inspected for leaks.
• Before operating the pump it is recommended that the pump head be filled with liquid.
• While priming, ensure the pump does not run dry for more than 15 seconds.
