Section 1 - Safety

1.1 Cautions

This equipment is intended for use with standard machine-tool coolant (water-base & cutting oils) only.
It should not be used with flammable fluids, (fuels, paint, solvents, etc.) corrosive, toxic or reactive
materials. Do not use in extra-high temperature or spark-hazard environments (ovens welding areas,
etc.). Clean tank thoroughly on a frequent basis, especially when pumping different types of coolant
and solids of different material. We recommend separate tank units for different services and segre-
gated handling of different coolants.

CAUTION

be used with flammable fluids, (fuels, paint, solvents, etc.)
corrosive, toxic or reactive materials. Do not use in extra-
high temperature or spark-hazard
environments (ovens welding areas, etc.)
Clean tank thoroughly on a frequent basis; especially when
pumping different types of coolants and solids of different
material. We recommend separate tank units for different
services and segregated handling of different coolants.

1.2 Precautions

l Read through the "Operations Manual" completely before attempting to operate the machine.

l Cleanout, pot lid, bleed-off cap and hoses must be tightly secured before operation in the discharge
mode.

l Tank discharge pressure must not exceed 10 psi. Regulator and relief valves are set before
shipment and should not be changed as the use of excessive pressure could cause serious injury
or damage. Operating discharge pressure is 6 psi.

l Do not attempt to open potlid, cleanout, or bleed-off cap before relieving pressure in the tank.

l Block wheels of the machine to prevent unintentional movement.

l Wear safety goggles to protect eyes from splashing liquids.

l Keep hands and fingers clear of pot opening when removing or replacing filter basket or filter
assembly.

l Air supply must not exceed 200 psi.

Section 5 - Maintenance
4.6 CLEANING OUT THE TANK:
The Sumpshark is equipped with a 2-1/2"
cleanout port in the bottom of the tank. Tank
should be cleaned out between pumping
different types of fluids or materials.
5.1 DAILY MAINTENANCE:
1. Check the vacuum/pressure gauge
to see that it is operating and monitor
tank pressure (should not exceed
7psi). Check for leaks at pot and
tank in general.
5.2 WEEKLY MAINTENANCE:
1. Clean and inspect float control. See
that float ball seals against gasket.
2. Clean out tank of all solids and
fluids. (Depending on application,
tank may need to be cleaned out
more frequently.) Always clean tank
between pumping different types of
fluids or materials.
3. Inspect all gaskets for a good sealing
surface.
4. Manually operate pressure relief
handle to make sure it is free to
work.
5.3 MONTHLY MAINTENANCE:
1. Check for wear on the wing nuts and
studs of the pot lid.
2. Grease wheels and swivel caster rig.
3. Clean air line strainer. Air line
strainer may require more frequent
cleaning depending on air supply.
