APPENDIX F: MAINTENANCE
Maintenance
PHD ULTRA
™
series pumps require no special maintenance other than keeping them clean by avoiding
accidental spills of pumped material. Refer to the chemical compatibility chart below for specific chemical
resistance information.
The two guide rods and the lead screw should be sparingly lubricated periodically; every 200 hrs the pump
will remind you. The guide rods and the lead screw should be lubricated with Super Lube Synthetic Grease
provided with the pump.
To clean the exterior surfaces, use a lint-free cloth to remove loose dust. Use care to avoid scratching the
clear display window. For more efficient cleaning, use a soft cloth dampened [not soaked] with water, an
aqueous solution of 75% isopropyl alcohol, or a mild detergent.
