Stop the pump at the bottom of the stroke to prevent
fluid from drying on the exposed displacement rod
and damaging the throat packings.

Always flush the pump before the fluid dries on the

CAUTION
Never leave water or water-based fluid in a carbon

fluid, flush with water first, then with a rust inhibitor,
such as mineral spirits. Relieve pressure, but leave
rust inhibitor in pump to protect parts from corrosion.
