8.2.  Cleaning and dismantling 

 

WARNING 

 

Health hazard due to dangerous 
substances in the pump 

 

Depending on the medium transferred, caustic burns 
or poisoning are possible. 

  Wear protective clothing if necessary, e.g. pro-

tective gloves. 

  Flush the pump with a neutral liquid and pump 

empty. 

  With NFB pumps, make sure that both pump 

heads are flushed. 

 

 

With NFB pumps the necessary steps are repeated for the 
second pump head. 

8.2.1. Flushing the pump 

  If transferring aggressive media, KNF recommends flushing 

the pump with a neutral fluid under atmospheric conditions for 
a few minutes before switching off, to extend the service life of 
valves and diaphragm. 

 

8.2.2. Preparations for disassembly 

  Flush the pump with a suitable neutralising liquid, and make 

sure that no dangerous substances are left in the pump. 

  Pump empty. 

  Separate electrical connections. 

  Disconnect hoses from pump head.
