DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT

http://www.kenrichproducts.com

The Kenrich model GP-6 is a hand operated twin diaphragm pump. It is designed
to pump most types of water based grouts ( not chemical based epoxy grouts).
This model features two separate pumps connected by common inlet and outlet
manifolds. Both pumps are powered by single pump handle.

The pumping action is achieved by moving the vertical pump handle back and
forth ( or up and down if the pump handle is in the optional horizontal position).
When the pump handle is moved to the right, the grout mixture in the hopper is
drawn into the left pump, , while at the same time the grout mixture already in
the right pump forced out into the placement hose where it is directed to the
work area. When the handle is moved to the left, grout is drawn into the right
pump while the grout in the left pump is forced out.

PERFORMANCE RECOMMENDATIONS

http://www.kenrichproducts.com

1) Always use the shortest length of placement hose as possible. The ideal is five
feet long. When grouting metal door frames, place the pump on a cart or
platform. This raises the pump handle to a better working height and allows
the use of the standard five foot long placement hose.

2) Always use the largest diameter hose that access will allow. The ideal size is
1 ½” inside diameter. Never use a “rubber based” hose.

3) If limited access requires that you must use a hose reducer kit, ( either ¾” or
1” inside diameter), remember that this reduction in hose size requires that
the operator must cycle the pump at a much slower rate.
Note: Never force the pump handle.

4) It is always recommended that a quality pre-packaged grout to used. These
products usually contain additives to help the grout pump and flow easier.

5) If you are mixing your own grout ( sand/cement/water), the mixture will
usually require additional cement in order to keep the sand in suspension.
When pumping “home made” grout, extra time will be required to find the
exact proportions of sand/cement/water to achieve a pumpable mixture.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

1) Place grout in a suitable container and mix per manufacturers instructions.
Pour the mixed grout mixture into hopper. Though usually not required, some
grouts are easier to start pumping if the pump is first primed with a cement/
water slurry.

2) Move the vertical handle back and forth ( or up and down if the handle has
been installed in optional horizontal position) to draw the grout mixture from
the hopper through the pumps and out the clear placement hose to the work
area. CAUTION: VERY MINIMAL PUMP PRESSURE IS REQUIRED TO FILL
VOIDS WITH GROUT.
Note: Never force the pump handle.

3) Be sure the work area begin filled is vented to allow any trapper air to escape.

4) Do not allow the grout to harden while inside or on the outside of the pump
and related components. Clean immediately after use.

5) This pump is designed to pump most types of water based grouts. It is not to be
used to pump chemical based epoxy grouts.
