Operating instructions
When operating the integral relief valve close to the opening
pressure, a minimal overflow into the overflow line can occur.
Eliminating suction problems (only for single ball valves with
PTFE ball seat)
For suction problems occurring during start up:
–
Exclude the possibility that there are foreign bodies in
the valve.
–
Place the valve on a stable surface.
–
Using a hammer (1) and a brass bar (2), gently tap the
PTFE ball seat above the valve ball - see figure below.
–
Then with the valve in a damp condition allow it to prime.
Only adjust the stroke length when the pump is running. This
is easier and also better for the pump.

Correctly adjusting the pump:
n Select as large a stroke length as possible for viscous feed chemicals.
n Select as large a stroke length as possible for outgassing feed chemi‐
cals.
n Select as high a stroke rate as possible for good mixing.
n Do not set the stroke length at less than 30 % for precise dosing.
