WARNING
Whipping discharge hose
A discharge hose that comes loose can lash around,
and the hose or jets of liquid can hit the operator,
and cause personal injury or death. To reduce this
risk:
Always remove kinks, before the pump is started.
►
If the discharge hose is kinked, it can be forced
out of the operator's hands.
Always make sure that the discharge hose
►
connections are properly attached.
Check that the discharge hose and the
►
connections are not damaged, replace if
necessary.
Always make sure that the outlet end of the
►
discharge hose is properly secured.
Start and stop
Start the pump by connecting it to the power
♦
source.
Stop the pump by disconnecting it from the
♦
power source.
Operating
>
The following must be performed at the start of
every shift:
>
Shut off the compressed air.
>
Fill the oiler with oil.
>
Check that the oil dosage is functioning, by
holding a piece of clean paper in front of the
exhaust air outlet. After about five pump
strokes, traces of oil should appear on the
paper.
>
Adjust the oil dosage if necessary, see section
("Oiler adjustment").
>
Allowing liquid to freeze inside the pump can
cause damage to the pump.
>
The pump can be run dry, but doing so will
increase the air consumption.
>
If the pump has been used in corrosive or polluted
water, it must be operated in clean water for a
few minutes after use.
>
If the pump operates but discharges little fluid,
inspect inlet check valve and clean out any foreign
objects which may be holding check valve open.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance is a basic requirement for the
continued safe and efficient use of the machine.
Follow the maintenance instructions carefully.
Use only authorised parts. Any damage or
♦
malfunction caused by the use of unauthorised
parts is not covered by warranty or product
liability.
When cleaning mechanical parts with solvent,
♦
comply with appropriate health and safety
regulations and ensure there is satisfactory
ventilation.
For major service to the machine, contact your
♦
nearest authorised workshop.
Every day
Before undertaking any maintenance on the pump,
always switch off the air supply. Then disconnect
the air hose from the machine.
Clean and inspect the machine and its functions
♦
each day before the work commences.
Conduct a general inspection for leaks and
♦
damage.
Check that the air inlet nipple is tightened and
♦
that the claw coupling is free from damage.
Change damaged parts immediately.
♦
Replace damaged and worn components in good
♦
time.
Make sure that all the attached and related
♦
equipment, such as hoses, water separators, and
lubricators are properly maintained.
Periodic maintenance
Since each application differs, the frequency and
extent of maintenance is best established based upon
past performance. Keeping detailed maintenance
records of past performance, aids determining future
preventative maintenance intervals.
