Maintenance
At least every six months, completely disassemble and inspect the catalyst pump
assembly. Replace the S.S. balls, O-Rings, springs, piston seal and packing
assembly.
Snug / tighten the Metering pump packing nut approximately 1/8 – 1/4 turn
clockwise to prevent leakage. Repeat this procedure when necessary to
prevent material from leaking. Do not over tighten as this will reduce the
life of the packing set and may cause damage to the pump.
Troubleshooting
The catalyst system should be checked if you are experiencing an uneven cure
or slow gel time.
For a complete troubleshooting guide, please refer to the manual “Testing &
Adjusting Your MVP Pumping System” containing important testing procedures
that should be performed every time the catalyst pump is serviced.
