Operation/Maintenance Manual
1 INSTALLATION
1.1 UNPACKING
After unpacking, the pump should be checked for any damage that may have occurred
during shipment. Damage should be reported to the carrier immediately.
Although extensive efforts are made to deliver pumps to our customers completely dry, new
pumps may contain residual moisture from their final DI water test.
The following items should be included within the shipping container:
1.2 UTILITIES / CONNECTION
It is recommended that the pump be positioned within 15 from level to maintain self-priming
ability and pumping efficiency. Allow sufficient room for tubing connectors. The pump
mounts on a quick-change base for easy installation.
The pump has dual exhaust locations on the backside of the base. The exhaust locations
require 1/2” (12mm) minimum clearance behind the control base. Care should be taken to
elevate the pump whenever possible to help prevent flooding when the pump is located in a
wet bench plenum. For remote exhaust connection, see Section 1.4.
Air Inlet: 1/4” FNPT (3/8” Dia. [8mm] supply tube minimum).
Air Supply: 20-100 psig (.14 - .69 MPa) clean dry air or nitrogen (see Performance
Charts, Section 3.1).
Fluid Ports: Inlet/Outlet fluid fittings and surge suppressor require torquing during pump
installation. See Section 2 for connection diagram and torque values.

3 START-UP
Pump air supply pressure must be regulated. (See Figure 3-2: Pressure vs. Fluid
Temperature Chart.)
Open the fluid suction (IN) line valve, if necessary.
Open the fluid discharge (OUT) line valve, if necessary.
Program external control to desired settings
Start slowly with air regulator at low (> 20 psi) pressure setting. Increase pressure to
attain desired flow, up to the maximum rating (See Section 3.1).
Refer to Troubleshooting, Section 5, if pump fails to start.
ATTENTION: Prolonged periods (> 5 minutes) of dry running can damage critical internal
pump parts.
CAUTION: When handling potentially dangerous fluids under pressure, the pump
and its fittings should be placed in an enclosure away from operators.
3.1 PERFORMANCE CHARTS
Pumping capacity is a function of air supply pressure and volume, suction head, suction line
restrictions, discharge head, discharge line restriction, and fluid specific gravity and
viscosity.
NOTE: The following chart is for specification to be used to size system.

4 MAINTENANCE
Trebor pump maintenance can be divided into two categories: air system maintenance and
fluid system maintenance. The purpose of air system maintenance is to prevent air system
failures such as stalling or erratic cycling. The purpose of fluid system maintenance is to
maintain suction and lift capabilities.
Pump Rebuild Service
Trebor International provides a factory rebuild service for customers using Trebor products.
Trebor will rebuild any standard pump (exclusive of options). Please contact Trebor
International Sales Department for current rebuild pricing. The fixed rebuild price includes a
factory rebuild and parts equivalent to the standard rebuild kit. Each factory rebuild comes
with a new one-year warranty. Repairs requiring more extensive part replacements will be
quoted prior to proceeding with the pump rebuild. If the pump has exceeded its useful life
and cannot be rebuilt, the customer may elect to purchase a new Trebor pump. If the
customer chooses not to rebuild or replace the pump, an evaluation charge will be required.
All returned pumps are to be shipped freight prepaid with a valid Purchase Order for the cost
of rebuild service. Please contact Trebor International prior to returning your pump to obtain
an RMA Number and Pump Return Data Sheet to ensure proper safety precautions. Each
pump will be evaluated and repaired within 5 working days of the receipt of pump at Trebor
facility.
4.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The following maintenance schedule is recommended to optimize pump performance and
minimize failures. Certain operating conditions that require more frequent maintenance
intervals have been noted. In positive pressure inlet conditions where suction or lift is not
required, fluid system maintenance may be extended.
Adhering to the recommended preventative maintenance schedule along with periodic
inspection of the pump will ensure continued efficient operation and overall reliable pump
performance.
It is recommended that the Preventive Maintenance Record (Section 4.1.a) be copied,
maintained, and kept with this unit for future reference.

Page 24
Record the start pressure, Target = 28psig
Pump must prime and even cycling must be achieved before continuing
Increase pressure to 60 psi and allow pump to run for 5 minutes
Check for fluid leaks, listen for air leaks, and check for irregular operation
Close the air supply valve and disconnect the pump
If required, prepare the pump for drying
4.9.b Pump Drying Procedure
Connect vacuum hose to fluid discharge
Connect purge line to fluid inlet
Apply 60 psig air pressure to the fluid inlet
Cycle pump & vacuum dry by rotating pump side to side for 30 seconds.
Turn off Air Supply and allow the pump to purge for 5 minutes.
4.9.c Dry Suction Test
Connect to air supply. See above instructions.
Connect a vacuum capable line with instrumentation to the pump fluid inlet
