In case of prolonged storage or long-term
inactivity, you need to restore the proper
functioning of the suction valves by opening the
three valve-lift devices (see pos. Fig. 9). Make
sure you have closed the valves before starting
the pump.
For the "work" and "rest" positions, see Fig. 10.

START UP
1. At first start-up, verify that the rotation direction is correct.
2. Check that the pump is fed correctly.
3. Start-up the pump without any load.
4. Check that the rotation rpm during operation does not
exceed the nominal rpm of the pump.
5. Allow the pump run for no less than 3 minutes before
pressurizing it.
6. Before each pump stop, reset pressure by means of the
control valve or with any pressure relief devices.

a) Close the filter drain line, if open.
b) Make sure the connecting pipe is clean, coat with grease
and connect it to the high pressure discharge.
c) Connect the suction pipe to the diaphragm pump;
open the pump suction connection and attach the pipe
between it and the diaphragm pump.
d) Fill the container with solution/emulsion.
e) Insert the free ends of the suction pipe and the high
pressure exhaust pipe inside the container.
f ) Switch on the diaphragm pump.
g) Pump the emulsion until it exits from the high pressure
exhaust pipe.

Should there be any priming trouble due to
insufficient supply, it is possible to remove the
three plugs in front of the head (except for the
LK36 version) as shown in pos. Fig. 11.
