Operation
When handling chemicals, be sure to use protective coverings (rubber gloves, face mask, protective goggles, chemical-resistant work clothes,
etc.) matched to the chemicals you are using.
If you forget to open the discharge-side valve or
if foreign matter clogs the discharge piping, the
pressure in the piping and pump head may
increase beyond the range indicated in the pump
specifications. This may result in the chemicals
leaking or spurting, or in damage to the pump or

Remarks
Check for chemical leakage.
A
probable cause of chemical leakage is
a damaged diaphragm.
Inspect the diaphragm.
Tighten the joints if chemicals are leaking from the joints.
If this does not stop chemical leakage, inspect the O-rings
at each section.
