Preventive Maintenance
Schedule
The operating conditions of your particular system
determine how often maintenance is required. Establish
a preventive maintenance schedule by recording when
and what kind of maintenance is needed, and then
determine a regular schedule for checking your system.
Flushing
Flush the pump:
•
Before the first use
•
When changing colors or fluids
•
Before fluid can dry or settle out in a dormant pump
(check the pot life of catalyzed fluids)
•
Before storing the pump.
Flush with a fluid that is compatible with the fluid you are
pumping and with the wetted parts in your system.
Check with your fluid manufacturer or supplier for rec-
ommended flushing fluids and flushing frequency.
