Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to properly set up your dispenser pump:
- Verify Container Compatibility: Ensure your 5-gallon bucket has a 1-1/2-inch (38 mm) spout. This pump is specifically designed for this size.
- Prepare the Dip Tube: The pump comes with a long 11-inch trimmable dip tube. Measure the depth of your 5-gallon container. If the dip tube is too long, carefully trim it to the appropriate length to ensure it reaches near the bottom of the container without bending or kinking. Use sharp scissors or a utility knife for a clean cut.
- Insert the Pump: Screw the pump head securely onto the spout of your 5-gallon container. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks and maintain proper siphoning.
- Prime the Pump: Before first use, press the pump head several times until the product begins to dispense consistently. This removes any air from the pump mechanism.
Operating Instructions
The Lexon dispenser pump is designed for easy and precise dispensing:
- Dispensing: Press the pump head down completely for a full stroke. Each full stroke dispenses approximately 1 fluid ounce (30 ccs) of product.
- Applications: This pump is suitable for a wide range of liquid products, including massage lotions, gels, oils, laundry detergent, dishwashing soap, shampoo, conditioner, and similar viscous liquids.
- Consistent Dosing: For consistent dosing, ensure the pump is fully depressed and allowed to return to its original position after each dispense.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pump:
- Cleaning the Nozzle: Over time, dried product may accumulate in the nozzle, potentially causing blockages. Regularly clean the nozzle by wiping it with a damp cloth. For stubborn blockages, use a small poker or thin wire to clear the opening.
- General Cleaning: If changing products or for general hygiene, the pump can be cleaned by pumping warm water through it until clear. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the pump materials.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, ensure the pump is clean and stored in a dry place.
