Prior to using any rotary pump for the rst time, disassemble and hand clean the pump. Clean all inner and outer surfaces to remove any dirt, grit or lm that may have accumulated during shipment and installation.

1. Do Not use carbon steel wool. Particles may break o and become embedded, causing rust development.

3. Do Not allow cleaners or bactericides to remain on surface for over 15 minutes.

4. Rinse all parts and surfaces exposed to corrosive cleaning solutions completely with cold water.
