5. Function Instruction
Adjustment function of pressure tubing gap
Adjust the knob to adjust the pressure tubing gap, in this way you can change the
pump head and tubing outlet pressure and flow rate.
The pressure tubing gap is stepless adjustment, any position within the adjustment
range can be used normally.
Pump head pressure standard:
1) If the pump head will be used for 2*1 silicone tubing, the pressure is 0.2±
0.03Mpa.
2) If the pump head will be used for other size tubing, adjust the pressure
according with the specific tubing size.
Turn the knob clockwise, the position of the knob becomes lower, the pressure
tubing gap is reduced accordingly. And if the pump head tubing outlet pressure
increases, the flow rate becomes lower.
Turn the knob counterclockwise, the position of the knob becomes higher, the
pressure tubing gap is increased accordingly. And id the pump head tubing outlet

pressure is reduced, the flow rate become higher.
Note:
The lower the knob, the greater the outlet pressure of the pump head tubing, the
faster the tubing wears, and the shorter the tubing life. Therefore, it is not
recommended to adjust the knob too low.
Note:
1. The knob is lower, the outlet pressure on pump head tubing is greater. The faster
the tube will wear, and the shorter the tube life will be. So it is not recommended to
set the knob too low.
2. The higher the knob, the outlet pressure of the pump head tubing is lower. And the
lighter the tubing is compressed, and the easier it is to cause the problems with no
liquid or dripping from at the outlet side.
6. Troubleshooting
If the pump head is running but the flow is small or no flow, please check the
following items:
Check whether the pump is supplied with transmission liquid.
Detect whether the suction side pipeline of the pump is blocked by suction
wall.
Check if the tube is cracked.
Check for blockages or kinks in the tube.
Check whether the wall thickness of the tube used is correct.
Check whether all valves in the tube are open.
Check whether the rotation direction of the pump is correct.
7. Maintenance
When pump does not work for a long time, please loosen the cartridges from
pressing on the tubing to avoid changing the shape of tubing because of
longtime extrusion.
Keep the rollers of pump head clean and dry, otherwise it can quicken the

wearing of the tubing, reduce the useful life of tubing and lead the rollers to
damage in earlier.
Before the peristaltic pump start running, check the tubing carefully each time
to see if it is damaged.
If the pump head accidentally is exposed to water, use a soft to wipe dry to
prevent damage to the pump head.
After replacing the tube, fluid, or any connecting tube, the pump must be
re-calibrated. It is recommended to re-calibrate the pump regularly to maintain
accuracy.
