MOUNT THE CHEMICAL TANK
• Mount the chemical tank as close as possible to the injection pump. Minimize the length of the product line
between the chemical tank and injection pump. Avoid any product lines longer than 5 ft. [1.5 m] between the
chemical tank and injection pump inlet port.
NOTE: Long product lines between the chemical tank and injection pump may cause high vacuum pressures
on the pump inlet, long pump priming times or difficulty priming the pump, and larger amounts of
chemical waist during rinsing.
If vacuum errors are encountered during pump operation, one or both of the following corrective
measures may be necessary to reduce inlet pressure:
•
Reduce the inlet plumbing length
•
Increase the tubing size
• Mount the Sidekick Pro ISO pump so that the line between the injection pump and chemical supply tank is near
level with a slight incline to help relieve air bubbles. The line connected to the pump inlet must not raise
chemical above 2 ft. [0.6 m] from the chemical supply tank outlet. See Figure 11 on page 25.
MOUNT THE SIDEKICK PRO™ ISO PUMP
• Mount the Sidekick Pro ISO pump as close as possible to the selected point of injection.
• Mount the Sidekick Pro ISO pump so that the outlet port is pointing up. The pump will not meter product
application correctly if the pump is mounted in any other orientation.
• The Sidekick Pro ISO should be mounted in a location which provides access to the pump and control node to
simplify calibration and troubleshooting.
