2. Temperature rise. Overheating is harmful to bearings
and piston cups.
NOTE: Models 53702 and 53703 Inlet Requirements:
Pressure feed 20 to 100 psi.
Care of Pump
Your pump will last longer and give best performance
when properly taken care of. Proper pump care
depends on the liquid being pumped and when pump
will be used again. In a normal car wash or detergent
cleaning installation (where each application is followed
by a clear water rinse), the pump will be kept clean.
After each use, flush pump with a neutralizing solution
for the liquid just pumped. Follow with a clear water
rinse. This is especially important for corrosive chemicals.
Then flush out pump with a 50% solution of automotive
ethylene glycol-type radiator antifreeze containing
a rust inhibitor, or use a commercial rust inhibitor
such as FLUID FILM.
While this flushing is not absolutely necessary for short
periods of idleness (as overnight), it is good practice to
clean the pump after each use to prevent deposits from
forming and damaging the pump. The antifreeze not
only coats the interior of the pump with an inhibitor, but
acts as a lubricant as well, keeping valves from sticking
- and protecting against any remaining moisture freezing
in cold weather.
For infrequent use and before long periods of storage,
drain pump thoroughly. Open any drain plugs, remove
suction hose from liquid, and run pump “dry” from 0 to
30 seconds (not longer). Once again, a rust inhibitor
should be injected into the pump before both ports are
plugged and the pump is stored. Then, plug both ports
to keep out air until pump is used again.
Lubrication Schedule
Use a grease gun to lubricate Hypro Series 5300 and
5324 Piston Pumps and Series 5321 and 5322 Plunger
Pumps. DO NOT USE AIR-POWERED GREASE
GUNS as they develop too much pressure and may
cause damage to the sealed cam bearing.
Lubrication
EXCEPTION: In applications where FDA approval is
required, use one of these greases: Chevron FM#2,
Mobile FM#2 Keystone (Penwalt Corp.) Nevastane SP
Medium. Lubricate every 50 hours or monthly.
With a screwdriver or flat tool, apply a generous dab of
grease to outer diameter surface of cam bearing at top
and bottom where bearing contacts connecting rod.
Do not grease excessively.
Check periodically and scrape out (do not WASH out)
