MAGNUM 610E PUMP OPERATION / MAINTENANCE MANUAL

START-UP
Pump air supply pressure should be regulated.
Open the fluid suction (IN) line valve, if necessary.
Open the fluid discharge (OUT) line valve, if necessary.
Start with air regulator at low (> 15 psi) pressure setting. Increase pressure
to attain desired flow, up to the maximum rating (See Section 3.3).
Table 1: Consumption / Efficiency can be used to determine approximate air
consumption.
Refer to Troubleshooting, Section , if pump fails to start.
ATTENTION: Prolonged periods (> 5 minutes) of dry running will damage critical
internal pump parts.
CAUTION: When handling potentially dangerous fluids under pressure,
the pump and its fittings should be placed in an enclosure.
3.1 HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATION
Pump operation at temperatures above 60
C requires periodic tightening of the
tie bolt nuts. The frequency of this procedure is best established by the user.
Refer to Section 4 on Maintenance.
3.2 OSCILLATOR/CONTROLLER CYCLE RATE
Applications with low flow or highly viscous fluid may require a slower cycle rate
for increased efficiency. A slower cycle rate will also decrease air consumption.
3.2.a Adjustment Instructions for Trebor Pneumatic Oscillator
Remove access plug from the pump control module cover.
Rotate adjustment knob with screwdriver.
Rotate CW (Clockwise) to slow cycle rate.
Rotate CCW (Counter-clockwise) to increase cycle rate.
Re-install access plug.
NOTE: The TREBOR Pneumatic Oscillator comes pre-set from the factory to
meet the flow requirements in most applications.
3.3 PERFORMANCE CHARTS
Pumping capacity is a function of air supply pressure and volume, suction head,
suction line restrictions, discharge head, discharge line restriction, and fluid
specific gravity and viscosity.
