Changing the TSL
Changing the TSL
Check the condition of the TSL and the level in the reservoir every week, minimum. TSL should be changed at
least every month.
Part No. 206995 Throat Seal Liquid (TSL) carries residue from the pump rod into the reservoir. Discoloration
of the TSL fluid is to be expected during normal operation. After some time the TSL will thicken and darken,
and must be replaced. Thick, dirty TSL will not pump
through the lines and will harden in the pump wet-cup.
How long TSL lasts depends on which chemicals are
used, how much is used, what pressure, and condition
of the pump seal and rod.
To avoid the buildup of static charge, do not rub the
plastic bottle with a dry cloth while it is attached to the
pump. Remove the bottle to clean, if needed.
2. Remove and empty the reservoir bottle. Clean any
residue.
3. Clean screen (Z) of inlet check valve (48c
‡). If check
valves are not sealing and dirty TSL is getting into
the wet-cup, replace the check valves (48c, 48d).
See F
IG. 1.
A drop in the level of TSL in the reservoir indicates that
the throat packings are starting to wear. Add TSL to the
reservoir and keep the level above the Minimum fill line.
Monitor the usage and condition of the TSL. If pumped
material bypasses the throat packings and enters the
TSL reservoir, replace the packings.
To change the TSL:
1. Shut off the pump.

NOTE: Order Check Valve Repair Kit 24F404. Kit parts
are marked with a symbol, for example (48b‡).
4. Fill the reservoir to the Maximum fill line with Throat
Seal Liquid (TSL).
5. Run pump. Each time pump rod reaches bottom of
stroke, check that some TSL is pumped from reservoir through wet-cup and back to reservoir.
