FLUSH PUMP AFTER USE
One of the most common causes for faulty pump
performance is gumming or corrosion inside the
pump. Flush the pump and entire system with a
solution that will chemically neutralize the liquid
pumped. Mix according to chemical
manufacturers directions. This will dissolve most
residue remaining in the pump, leaving the inside
of the pump clean for the next use.
TO PREVENT CORROSION
After cleaning the pump as directed above, flush
it with a permanent type automobile antifreeze
(Prestone, Zerex, etc.) containing a rust inhibitor.
Use a 50% solution - that is, half antifreeze and
half water, or fill pump with FLUID FILM and then
drain it. A protective coating of FLUID FILM will
remain on the inner pump surfaces. Save the
excess FLUID FILM for the next application. Plug
the ports to keep out air during storage. For short
periods of idleness, noncorrosive liquids may be
left in the pump, BUT AIR MUST BE KEPT OUT.
Plug ports or seal port connections.
IMPORTANT: FREEZING TEMPERATURES
MAY DAMAGE THE PUMP & CONTROL VALVE
IF THE WATER IS NOT DRAINED
COMPLETELY!
SERVICING AFTER STORAGE:
Flush the entire spraying system with clean, clear
water and detergent.
Flush the entire spraying system again with clean,
clear water to rinse.
Drain entire spraying system.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL OF
CHEMICALS:
Follow chemical manufacturers recommendations
for storage and disposal of chemicals.
