Keep the tank and pump system clean. The suction pipe
is supplied with a filter to prevent dirt entering the pump
pressure system. If the filter should clog, remove the dirt
and clean it with water.
Grease the piston periodically with water repellent grease.
Be extremely careful not to damage the piston (Pag 3.7).

1. Prior to starting the testing pump, please carefully read
and follow these instructions.
2. The position and operation of the controls must be
studied prior to RP50-S pump operation
3. The RP50-S has been designed for specific applications.
We strongly recommend that it SHOULD NOT BE
MODIFIED, nor used for other purposes.
4. Using only the liquids specified for the tests is utterly
important for the integrity and durability of the liquid-
tight systems. NO acids or other corrosive liquids may
be used for the tests. Use only clean water or Oil as an
alternate.
5. Check the pump for damaged or defective parts prior
to pump operation. The pump MAY NOT BE USED if
pressure hoses or any other parts are flawed or broken.
6. Only original Rothenberger parts may be used for
maintenance
1. Connect the pressure hose to the equipment to be tested
with valve V1 opened and valve V2 closed (Pag 3.1).
2. Open one or several purge points in the installation.
Remove the handle-locking hook and pump liquid until
all air has been purged from the installation. Close the
vent points. Fill the installation operating the pump
handle with ample movements (Pag 3.2).
3. Keep on pumping until the test pressure has been
reached (Pag 3.3).
4. Close valve V1 (Pag 3.4).
5. If the test pressure is exceeded during the pumping
operation, crack open valve V2 until the required pressure
is attained. Then close all the valves (Pag 3.5).
6. If no leaks are present, no pressure drop will be detected
in gauge readings. At test completion, open both valves
V1 and V2 (Pag 3).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
NOTE
!
After the pressure has been reached, wait for the
pressure to stabilize as a function of the size of the
installation. If it should be required, pump again until
the pressure is reached again.
