AFTER DIS-ASSEMBLY:
Decontaminate Pump and Parts:
1. Shuttle Valve Assembly should not be submerged unless it has had chemical run through it (for instance if the pump failed due to a ruptured bellows).
2. In the event that a shuttle valve has had chemical run through it, rinse thoroughly with DI Water until it tests neutral with pH papers. The Shuttle Valve Assembly would then need to be thoroughly dried before reattachment to the pump.
3. All other pump parts are submerged in baking soda bath or other neutralizer and rinsed until safe as tested with pH papers.
4. Rinse all residue from neutralizing bath from all parts with DI water.
5. Dry all pump parts with pressurized air or by laying them out for evaporation.
Inspection of Parts:
1. Examine lip seal in Top Check Cages where Check Balls seat to make sure that the lip seals are in tact.
2. If the lip seals are not in tact, replace Top Check Cages.
3. Examine lip seal in Bottom Check Seats where Check Balls seat to make sure that the lip seals are in tact.
4. If the lip seals are not in tact, replace Bottom Check Seats
5. Inspect groove seal surfaces on pump body (areas where bellows seals seat, and areas where Top Check Plugs and Bottom Check Plugs seat) for obvious damage.
6. If seal surfaces are damaged, replace pump body.
7. Inspect groove seals in pump Heads where Bellows seals seat for obvious damage.
8. If seal surface is damaged, replace the damaged Head(s)
Attention:
White Knight pumps are designed to pump caustic and otherwise dangerous liquids. Therefore, every pump must be handled as if it contains dangerous chemicals whether or not it actually does. White Knight specifies that if a pump runs under it's own power that the pump should circulate DI water for twenty minutes before disassembly or double bagging for shipment. If the pump does not run under it's own power, then DI water should be forced from the inlet, through the outlet for 40 minutes before disassembly or double bagging for shipment. Only those who have been adequately trained in safety with and the handling of acids and other dangerous chemicals should attempt to handle a White Knight pump that has been used. Adequate safety gear appropriate for the chemical that has been in the pump must be used/worn and no attempt should be made to handle the pump until Material Safety Data Sheets (here after MSDS) for the chemical that the pump has been used in have been reviewed. pH Papers, Showers, antidotes, clean-up equipment, neutralizers, and any other safety devices that could be used for detecting, neutralizing or minimizing effects from the chemical described in the appropriate MSDS must be present as well as emergency numbers for use in the event of an accident. Take great care in the handling of liquids and/or residues contained in these pumps or any other chemical handling equipment. Remember Safety First.
