Operation 

WARNING: Never operate the pump dry. If the pump is operated dry or without pump 
conditioner, severe damage will occur. Always apply lubricant to the rotor before the 
pump is assembled.  

Operation Notes

: 

•

 

You must do the initial bleed for the pump to function correctly. 

•

 

Make sure the material is supplied correctly to the pump. 

The sections that follow are in the recommended order to operate the pump. To operate 
the pump, do every sub-section in Section 3, in the order shown. 

 

 

Bleed the Pump 

1.

 

Open the bleed clip. 

2.

 

Turn the bleed clip counterclockwise to loosen. Turn one full rotation then slowly 
until material appears. 

3.

 

Turn one full rotation and then slowly until the material begins to bleed.  

4.

 

Let the material flow from the material outlets until there are no breaks in the 
material flow. 

NOTE: Any break in the flow of the material shows there is still air in the system. 
Bleed the pump until the material flows smoothly without any breaks in the flow. 

NOTE: The fluid supply operating pressure must be have a flow rate equal to or more 
than the maximum flow rate capacity of the pump.  

5.

 

Clean all material from the manifold and material outlets. 

6.

 

Close the bleed clip by spinning it clockwise until there is resistance. 

7.

 

Close the door of the bleed clip.
