If the pumped material is water-soluble or can be cleaned with an agent which is not
flammable, the pump with the follower plate and connected hose may be pre-cleaned
by means of cleaning agent circulation. In order to do so, place the pump with follower plate
over an sufficiently large container with cleaning agent. When the motor is switched on, the
pump with follower plate lowers automatically. In order to avoid that the follower plate lowers
on the bottom of the container and the cleaning agent circulation is interrupted, place an
appropriate stop below the follower plate or adjust the stop (1).
For variants with control unit and end position stop the illuminated push-button "end position"
(see page 45) might have to be actuated that the pump motor runs.
Attention – bring the stop in its previous position after cleaning.
For a thorough cleaning of all components the pump has to be disassembled (see operating
instructions of pump).
Attention – pump with follower plate will lower automatically when the motor is switched on.
