Maintenance and Care of the Hand Pump
 The pump should always be kept dry and clean.
 Store the pump indoors away from extreme temperatures.
 Do Not wipe off the film of lubricant on the main pump cylinder. It is nor-
mal and will serve to lubricate the pump seals and guard against premature
wear of the pump seals. You may occasionally apply a small amount of
Parker Super O-lube to the main pump cylinder.
 Do not use solvents of any kind on parts of the pump. Mild household
cleaners are acceptable on the painted portions of the pump and handle
assembly.
Troubleshooting
 The pump fails to reach desired pressures
 Pressure building up and then falling while pumping
 Slower than normal build up of pressure (based on prior experience with
the pump.)
All of the problems described above may be result of an air leak. To identify the
location of the leak perform the following:
Check first that the bleed screw is closed.
With the pump attached to the air tank and pressure showing on the pump gauge,
check for leaks at the fittings by applying a small amount of soapy water at the
connections.
If a leak is detected at a fitting, bleed the pressure from the pump and disconnect
the air tank. Tighten the leaking adaptor connections slightly to eliminate the leak.
Check the O-rings for any damage.
If a fitting connection is still leaking after re-tightening, the thread sealant may be
damaged. Teflon sealing tape is recommended for use on these fittings. Disassem-
ble the leaking fitting, remove all old sealing tape, then apply 2-3 full wraps of
Teflon tap to the male thread. Reassemble, tightening the fitting moderately. Do
not over-tighten.
If all corrective measures described above fail to eliminate the pump failure, con-
