2. BEFOREOPERATING
SYSTEM
Open SuctionValveand checktightnessof suctionlines,fittingsand filter.
3. DO NOTRUNPUMPWITHA STARVEP
SUCTION
The diaphragmpump will not sufferif run dry due to an empty tank. However,a "starved"suctiondue to a
cloggedstraineror a closedsuctionvalvewill causeprematurefailureof the pump diaphragms.NOTE: Only
use filterscreensthat are between10 & 20 mesh. Neveruse a fine filterscreenwith a diaphragmpump.
4. SUCTION VALVE (To prevent pump damage,shut down system before closing suction valve.)
This valve is in the systemto close off tank flow for emergencysystem repairor if strainerscreen requires
unexpectedcleaningaftera tank refill. (Strainerscreenshouldbe cleanedjust beforeeach tank refill.)
5 . MAINTAINPROPEROIL LEVEL

6 . DO NOTOVERSPEEDPUMP
UDORdiaphragmpumpsare designedto operateat or belowa specificspeed. Overspeedingwillcausevalves
fail and couldcauseotherinternaldamage. Referto the performancechartof
and diaphragmsto prematurely
your specificpumpfor maximumoperatingspeed.
7, PULSATIONDAMPENERINTRODUCTION
It is the natureof diaphragmpumps to have some pulsation. This is caused by sudden changesin piston
direction.The pulsationdampenerhas one functionin the pumpingsystem,reducepulsationby providinga
cushionof air to bump against. The UDOR pulsationdampeneruses a rubberbladderto separatethe air
cushionfrom the solutionbeingpumped.

Establishingand following a maintenancescheduleis a good investment. It will
add greatly to the longevity of your pump and your sprayer.
ST EPN O.1 'AFTER EACH USE' flush pump with cleanwater. Most diaphragm " attacks"
occur when chemicalsare left sitting in the pump. Thesefew minutes of clean-
ing are well spent, extending diaphragm life and minimizing chemical buildup
throughout the system
STEP NO. 3 'WINTER STORAGE" Perform Step L (above),theru with tank empty and
suction and dischargevalves "opetr", run pump one minute to ensurecomplete
drainageof pump headsand lines. Recirculateantifreezeand leavein systemto
