Dispense Pump Troubleshooting Checklist
The Dispense Pump has multiple components needed to verify proper operation. Go through this checklist to help identify
potential problems with the pump before disassembling. If the problem is still not corrected, it may be necessary to remove
the Dispense Pump and clean it thoroughly after flushing it with a solvent. No passageways should be clogged with material.
