Bertolini Pump - Before Operation Checks
It is essential you read the Bertolini Manual before operation of your sprayer for the
first time. Improper use can result in serious injury or death.
For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it is very important to
take a few moments before you operate the pump to check its condition. Be sure to take
care of any problem you find, or have your servicing dealer correct it, before you operate the
pump.
Warning! Improperly maintaining this pump, or failure to correct a problem before
operation, can cause a malfunction in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always perform a preoperation inspection before each operation, and correct any
problem.
Checks to make before using the pump:
1. Check, with the pump not running, to make sure that the oil level is correct. Otherwise
pour oil, but take care not to exceed the indicated level on the oil sight tube.
ATTENTION:
too much oil creates pressure inside the crankcase, so this can result in some
leakages or diaphragm failures.
2. Be sure that the inlet and discharge hoses are not crimped and the strainer is clean. In
any case, be sure connections are tight to prevent any hose restrictions or air entering,
since these conditions will compromise pump performance.
3. When starting, the pressure adjustment lever must be turned to the “by-pass” position.
4. When fitted, the pulsation dampener on the pump or on the pressure line is generally
charged at 6 ÷ 8 BAR, equal to the maximum pressure rating of the pump.
Use of the pump:
When starting up the pump, turn the valve lever to the by-pass position to facilitate priming.
Once pump is primed, turn the valve lever to “press” position and adjust the
working pressure with the knob; turning knob clockwise will increase pressure, turning knob
counter-clockwise will decrease pressure.
After use:
After use, in order to prevent damage, flush pump and let operate for a few minutes at
working pressure with clean water. Afterwards empty it, so that pressure drops to “0”, then
let the pump run without liquids for two minutes.
For winter storage, if a freezing condition will be encountered, empty the pump completely
or flush pump with a mixture of water and antifreeze.
