2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 Unpacking
Open the shipping carton and inspect contents for damage. If any items are missing or
damaged contact your local distributor to arrange for replacement.
Pumps are pre-primed with water at the factory. If the application is not compatible
with water, drain and dry before use. Be sure to remove caps from fittings before
attaching tubing.
CAUTION
:
Head bolts may have loosened during storage or shipment. Be sure to
check and tighten to 19 lb-in torque, if necessary.
2.2 Location
Choose a location for the pump which is clean, dry, close to an electrical outlet, and
allows convenient access to stroke length control, frequency control, and tubing
connections. Avoid areas where ambient temperature exceeds 122°F (50°C) or falls below
32°F (0°C), or where the pump or tubing would be exposed to direct sunlight.
This pump is cord connected and not intended for permanent mounting to a building
structure. However, temporary mounting to stabilize the pump during operation may be
necessary as long as tools are not required for the installation or removal of the pump.
Flooded suction (mounting the pump below the level of liquid in the supply tank) is
strongly recommended, especially when pumping liquids that readily generate gas
bubbles. Sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide are common examples of such
liquids. (See Figure 1.)
