Chapter 6: Maintenance
General Maintenance
The AutoPump should be relatively free of maintenance. The frequency of maintenance
depends upon the nature of the fluids being pumped. Follow these general maintenance
checks.
• Periodically inspect all hoses and connections for damage. Make sure that the hoses are not
split or cracked, and listen for leaks in the system.
• Even if significant amounts of oil and water enters the air hose, the AP-3 System should
perform reliably for years. Check the air filters and filter bowl drains on the filters/regulator
for saturation and operation every few weeks.
• Periodically drain the air filters on the air hose to the pumps of collected particles, water
and oil. Draining prevents the filter from clogging up or being otherwise damaged. Check
the regulator to ensure the pressure setting has not drifted appreciably.
• An automatic drain on the compressor is highly recommended, since such an addition
can dramatically increase air filter life and decrease maintenance. Automatic drains are
available from QED.
• The pump can be opened up in the field if the area is clean and dry.
A maintenance video is available from QED.
