c.- Locate the pump as shown in fig. 3 bearing in mind that it may be installed either below or above the level of the liquid to be
dosed, though the level difference should not exceed 2 meters. In case of liquids that generate aggressive vapours, do not install
the pump above the storage tank unless the latter is hermetically sealed.
d.- Slide the hoses over the nipples, pushing them right home and then fix them with appropriate tube nuts (Fig.4).
Before attaching the delivery hose to the plant, prime the peristalòtic by going through the sequence shown in fig. 5. In case of
priming difficulties, use a normal syringe to suck liquid from discharge nipple while the pumèp is in operation, continuing until you
actually see the liquid rise in the syringe. Use a short lenght of suction hose to connect the syringe to the discharge nipple.
f.
Try to keep both the suction and discharge hoses as straight as possible, avoiding all unnecessary bends. operation, continuing until
you actually see the liquid rise in the syringe. Use a short length of suction hose to connect the syringe to the discharge nipple. In
case of a pump equipped with an air bleed valve, unscrew the air relief valve B up to all the air in the pump head will be out.
f. - Try to keep both the suction and discharge hose as straight as possible, avoiding all unnecessary bends.
g. - Select the most appropriate injection point on a pipe of the plant to be treated and there fit a 3/8" female steel gas thread connector
(similar to BSPm). This connector is not supplied with the pump. Screw the injection valve to the gas connector, inserting a gasket as
shown in Fig. 6. Then connect the discharge hose to the conical connector on the injection valve and fix it with the supplied tube nut
G. The injection valve also acts as no return valve by means of a cylinder sleeve (elastomer, standard supplied in Viton).
4.0 - MAINTENANCE
1. Check from time to time the chemical solution into the tank to avoid peristaltic pump to dry running. In case this should happen no
damages will occur to the pump. The level control sensor provided as a standard accessory will stop the pump in case of chemical
low level in the tank, anyway a systematic check to avoid lack of chemical in the system is advisable.
2.
For finding eventual tears and wear, a three months check to the pump hose is recommended as well as a periodical cleaning for foot
