> Pump and flexible hose must be compatible with the cleaning agent.
> The pump should not be immersed deeper into the liquid than the outlet connection.
> When using flammable cleaning agents, comply with safety instructions as to
explosion-proof equipment.
> After each operation with sticky or self-hardening products, the pump should be
flushed with a suitable cleaning agent. The pump should then be dismantled and
the mechanical seal carefully cleaned.
> On models F 550... with elastomer stators (NBR, CSM, FKM) a few drops of lubri-
cant (oil, glycerine, etc.) should be put on the stator and on the eccentric worm after
cleaning. Afterwards run the motor briefly.
> On models F 560... with elastomer stators (NBR) a few drops of lubricant (food-
grade oil) should be put on the stator and on the eccentric worm after cleaning. Af-
terwards run the motor briefly.
