Maintenance / cleaning, storage and transportation
The following measures must be taken before you send the unit to SIKA for repair:
Clean the device thoroughly. This is of extreme importance if the medium is hazardous to
health, i.e. caustic, toxic, carcinogenic or radioactive etc.
Remove all residues of the media and pay special attention to sealing grooves and slits.
Attach a note describing the malfunction, state the application field and the chemi-
cal/physical properties of the media.
Please follow the instructions on the procedure for sending returns which are on our
website (
www.sika.net/en/services/return-of-products-rma.html
) and please specify a
point of contact in case our service department has any questions.
The customer must confirm that the measures were taken by filling out the declaration of
decontamination. It can be found on our website as a download:

Maintenance / cleaning, storage and transportation
Maintenance:
No maintenance is required for the hand pump and it cannot be repaired by the operator ei-
ther. In the case of a defect the appliance must be sent back to the manufacturer for repair.
Check the seals and O-rings for fractures and wear before use.
Replace defective or worn seals and O-rings.
Visually inspect the hand pump and its components for damage.
The inspection interval depends on the frequency of use, but at least once a year.
RECOMMENDATION!
Do not use gaskets, seals and hydraulic hoses made from rubber, silicone or plastic
longer than 6 years.
Observe the corresponding instructions in the manufacturer's product documents.
Cleaning:
Clean the hand pump with a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth.
Do not use sharp objects or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the pump. Avoid contact with
aggressive media.
Storage and transportation:
For storage and transportation we recommend our transportation case, which is available as
an accessory.
The tight-fitting rigid foam inlay offers optimum protection for the hand pump with pressure
hose and accessories.
REFERENCE GAUGE
The common reference models fit into the gaps in the transportation case and do not
need to be removed.
