be clean and contain no contaminants

etc)
. Air compressors may be used with proper particle filters and moisture
separators. Air storage tanks should be drained regularly. Pumps subjected to contaminated air
are not covered by warranty.
WARNING:
High concentrations of CO
2
can be fatal as it will displace the air from non-ventilated areas.
Pumps operated by CO
2
must be in ventilated areas. If placed in a confined area
(basement,
closet, cooler box, etc.)
, exhaust fans capable of changing the room air on a continuous basis
should be used.

All tubing connections must be secured with stainless steel, stepless Oetiker

clamps.
•
Cable-tie all tubing securely to prevent kinks or sags that inhibit performance or cause damage to the
pump fittings.
START-UP PROCEDURE
1.
Confirm that all tubing connections are properly clamped, fittings are tight, and tubing is not kinked.
Install bag connector to the B-I-B.
2.
Adjust gas regulator to
about 20 psi.
[1.4 bar]
allowing the pump to stroke slowly.
3.
Operate the valve until all air trapped within the tubing has been purged.
4.
Once the air has been purged, adjust the CO
2
regulator to the pressure necessary to maintain the
desired brix. The most efficient gas usage occurs at 40 psi.
[2.8 bar]
.
M
AXIMUM
static gas pressure to
the pump is 85 psi.
[5.8 bar]
, minimum 20 psi.
[1.4 bar]
.
CAUTION:
Flowrates that result in a stroke-rate of more than two strokes per second will decrease pump life.
(Consult factory)
Pump failure due to "overrunning" is not covered by the limited warranty.
NOTE:
To prevent air from entering the system always leave the bag connector attached to the empty B-I-B
until a new B-I-B can be installed. Air entered into the system, via air in the bags or vacuum leaks,
may cause brix fluctuation, foaming, spitting, non-operation of the vacuum sold-out or pump "run-on"
with the valve closed. Symptoms of this kind can lead to a misdiagnosis of the pump.
MOUNTING CLIP KNOCKOUT REMOVAL
Removal of the knockout tabs from the pump housing is only necessary if the pump will be installed onto
a SHURflo Mounting Board. Depending on board style, spring clip orientation varies. Ensure spring clip
position and corresponding knockout tabs before removal.
NOTE:
The knockout tabs
must not
be pushed into the housing cavity. Failure to
remove the tab from the housing will cause the spring clips not to engage
completely, making the mounting insecure.
1.
Position the pump on its side, in a
secure
location where the pump can be held
firmly.
2.
Place an appropriate sized flat blade screwdriver into the indentation as shown.
NOTE:
Breaking the tabs at this particular indentation facilitates complete tab removal.
3.
Break the tabs loose by either pressing firmly, or striking the screwdriver handle solidly with
your palm.
4.
The tab should break away from the housing, allowing it to be popped-out with the screwdriver.
Removal of the aluminum mounting bracket may be required to permit full engagement of the spring clips. Screw torque
15-18 in/Lb. [17-20 N•m]
