START-UP

At start-up, purge all chemical gases and air from the suction tubing,
valves and pump head. Start the pump.
When all the air or gas is vented, the solution being metered will
appear in the output line.

Note: Only when operating under pressure, the pump must be

started unloaded.

EXAMPLE OF TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS

Flooded Suction Installation
Suggested Installation for consis-
tent output when using a low
stroke rate. Also suggested for
highly viscous chemicals.
A slight suction pressure avoids
self-priming problems, especially
with high viscosity liquids.

Suction Lift Installation
Suggested installation for most in-line
applications with nominal output and
pressures.
The maximum self-priming height is
1.5 m (5 ft.). It is advisable to install
a level controller in order to stop the
pump when feed tank (reservoir) liquid
level is low.

Uphill Installation
Suggested installation whenever the supply is located higher than
the discharge point; typically a waste water application.

It is important to install the Injection valve to prevent siphoning.
