DIRECTIONS FOR DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Before any maintenance or repair is attempted,
the compressed air line to the pump should be disconnected
and all air pressure allowed to bleed from the pump. Discon-

turning it upside down and allowing any fluid to flow into
a suitable container. Be aware of any hazardous effects of
contact with your process fluid.
