MANUFACTURER’S PRODUCT WARRANTY The manufacturer warrants its equipment of its manufacture to be free of defects in material or workmanship. Liability under this policy extends for twenty-four (24) months from the date of purchase or one (1) year from date of installation or whichever comes first. The manufacturer’s liability is limited to repair or replacement of any device or part which is returned, prepaid, to the factory and which is proven defective upon examination.
10. Standard white polyethylene discharge tubing is not recommended for installations exposed to direct sunlight. Consult supplier for special black polyethylene tubing. 11. Manufacturer will not be held responsible for improper installation of pumps, or local plumbing conducted. All cautions are to be read thoroughly prior to hook-up and plumbing. For all installations a professional plumber should be consulted. Always adhere to local plumbing codes and requirements. 12.
Flooded suction mounting Fig. C (installing feeder at the base of tank on a platform) is the most trouble free type of installation. (Tank stands and platforms are available for all size feeders and tanks). The pump is secured on the platform, and then the clear suction tubing is attached to a bulkhead fitting assembly and the suction valve housing on the pump head.
DOWN-THE-WELL INSTALLATION: Often it is desirable to provide chemical feed near the intake of the well pump for additional retention time and mixing of the chemicals. An additional length of discharge tubing will be required for this installation. Secure the end of the discharge tubing to the pump cylinder, drop pipe, or foot valve and lower it into the well. An anti-siphon valve must be installed on systems such as this where the discharge is lower than the feeder and the chemical storage tank.
. Return the system to operating conditions and reconnect the power to the pump. The pump is now ready for priming and operation. Always use caution and check for leaks at newly assembled connections.
PRIMING All pumps are tested with water (e.g. sulfuric acid, polymer) the pump head should be removed and dried thoroughly along with the diaphragm and valve seats. If the discharge line is connected directly to a pressurized system it should be temporarily bypassed during priming of the pump. This pump is equipped with a bleed valve to simplify this operation by allowing easy bypass of the discharge fluid. All air must be purged from the pump head before the pump will pump against pressure.
4. When light finger pressure will no longer allow movement of the knob between cam contacts, grasp the knob securely and tighten the locking lever (turning clockwise) making sure that the knob does not move. To check for zero point, turn on pump. There should be no liquid coming out of discharge fitting. 5. Replace dial stop. 6. If the pointer is not at "0", loosen the set-screw on the knob (use a .078 in Hex key), and turn pointer to "0", then retighten the set-screw while holding the knob in place. 7.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM LOSS OF CHEMICAL RESIDUAL TOO MUCH CHEMICAL LEAKAGE AROUND TUBING CONNECTIONS PROBABLE CAUSE 1. Pump setting too low. 2. Scale at injection point 3. Solution container allowed to run dry 1. Pump setting too high. 2. Chemical in solution tank too rich. 3. Siphoning of chemical into well or main line 1. Worn tube ends 2. Chemical attack 1. Leak in suction side of pump. 2. Valve seats not sealing. 3. Low setting on pump. FAILURE TO PUMP OR FEED 4. Low solution level. 5.
