Tips and Hints
1.
Regularly check the oil level in the pump. The oil level should be maintained at the level
indicated on the pump (half way on the sight glass).
2.
Top up the oil in the pump when required using SAE 20W 50 oil. Never mix different grades
of oil.
3.
Use a good quality 13mm (inside diameter) water supply hose and connect to the water inlet
on the pump using a hose clamp or garden style snap-on connection. Ensure that this
connection is tight and o rings and rubber tap washers are present to avoid leaks and
cavitation in pressure as pump is sucking air.
4.
Do not use any water supply hotter than 60° Celsius as this will damage the internal workings
of the pump up to and including valves, seals etc.
5.
Ensure that the tap on the water supply is fully opened before operating the machine.
6.
After chemical/detergent use, flush the facility for a few minutes with clean water.
