2. THE No. 7 DIAL SIGHT.

The dialsight whenissuedis in correctadjustment,water.tight, and with all the cells and joints securedwith fixingscrews.

it is very unlikely that the interior will require cleaningandthe dial sight must on no accountbe taken to piecesexcept by a person in possessionof an OrdnanceCollegeCertificate,statingthathe is competentto do so.

The body of thedial sightshould be cleanedwith acleansoft cloth anda little oil, which must be rubbedof! after-wards,carebeingtakenthat the glass is not touched.- N~gritty substanceshould beused. -

‘53

The exteriors of eyelcns and window should be cleanedwith chamoisleather,speciallykept for thepurpose. Greatcaremust be taken thatno oil or greaseis allowed to touchtheglasses. Fingers,thoughapparentlycleananddry, leavemarkson the lens which will impair the definition of thesight.

Whennot in usethedial sightshouldbe kept in its leathercaseon the shield.

3. THE BREECH MECHANISM.

(i) Generalprecautions.

The breechmechanismshould be dismantledperiodicallyin orderthatit maybethoroughlycleaned.

Thethreadsof thebreechscrewshould befreefrom burrs.Thesemay bercmnovedby carefulfiling by an artificer, butno portion of the threadshould be cut away to removeacrack.

The breechshould be kept coveredup, whenpossible,topreventdustandgrit gettinginto thebreechfittings. A coveris providedfor this purpose.

(ii) To dismantlethe breechmechanism.

(iii) To assemblethe breechmechanism.The fittings arereplacedin thereverseorder.When insertingthebreechscrewin the carrier, caremust

be takenbeforecommencingto screwin, to hold the breechscrewsquareagainsttheface of the carrier with oneof thethreadedportions of the screw uppermost,the stampingon the screwto therear. Two anda quarterturns of thebreechscrewarerequired, the retainingcatchbeingpressedin clearof therecessin thescrewduringtheoperation.

When inserting the trigger, first correctly assemblethespringwith theprojectingendsin theholesfor their receptionin the “Part I” trigger and bush, then insert thecollaron the- trigger with the recessedportion innermost, andtwist thebushonthe triggeruntil theprojectionenit engageswith the recessin the collar. Insert “Part I” triggerwithbush,collar, andspring into the left side of thebreechring,andengagewith “Part II” triggerinsertedfrom the rear.Insert thekeeppin. -

(iv) To dismantlethe firing mechanism.When removingthestriker from, or insertingit into, the

guide block, thesafety catchin the latter must always bein the firing position.

Presson the top of the guidefor main springso asto corn-pressthespring lightly, at thesametime tilt theupperend

55

of the guidefrom thestriker, andwithdraw the guideandmain spring. Remove the firing pin and the pin securingro.bound block and withdraw the latter Placethe safetycatchin the firing position, force it out of its recessin theguideblocktowardsthe centreof the block, andwithdraw it.

(v) To assemblethefiring mechanism.

Thefiring mechanismis assembledin thereverseorder.

(vi) To test the protrusion of thestriker. -

Swing thebreechscrewandcarrierinto theloadingpositionandremovethestriker. Takeout themain springfrom thestriker and reassemblethe latter, Replace the striker(without main spring) in position in the gun, press in thecatchretaining breechscrewand revolvethe breechscrewin thecarrieruntil it is in the position it would be if thebreechwere closed. Pressthe striker forward in the breechscrewasfar as it will go. Apply the gauge,andif thepro-trusion is not within thelimits, changethefiring pin.

4, BECUPERATOR AND BUFFER.

GeneralPrecauticns.(i) Before firing.

Careshouldbetakento seethattherecuperatorandbufferarecorrectlycharged,andthereis no leakageat thestuffingboxes,that thecylinder blockis firmly nuttedup to thelugof the gun,andthepistonrod andramto thefront cap,andthat theregulatinggearis in adjustment.

56

It is necessaryto strainthe oil beforechargingthe rceu-perateror buffer.

During severeweather,recuperatorsandbuffersshould beprotectedas muchas possiblefrom thecold.

(iii) Whengunsarerestingin action.Cool the bore. Depressthe gun andallow air to escape

from thebufferby meansof thesnifting valve. Replenishthebuffer. Tighten packingsif necessary. Test air pressuresafterthegunhascooledandreplenishrecuperaterif necessary.

5. THE RECUPERATOR.

(i) To chargethe recuperatorwith liquid.Lash the gun to the cradleand depressa few degrees.

Removeplugs K and L and open valve M. Measureoutexactly8 pints of oil andpump it in at K. ClosevalveMandreplaceplug K. Elevateanddepressthecradlea fewdegreesseveral times,then setit horizontal by aclinorneterboth longitudinally and transversely. Open valve M andremove plug K. Leave the cradle in this position untiloil ceasesto overflow at L. Closevalve M andreplacetheplugs.

(ii) To chargethe recuperatorwith air.Before charging with air it is important to see that the

scouring collar is on therecuperatorram,in orderto preventtime ramfrombeingforcedoutto theroarwhenunderpressureandthat thecorrectquantity of liquid is in therecuperator.rrhell proceedasfollows: Attachtheair pumpto thebracketon thetrial, depressthecradleafew degrees,removeplug Land attachthe adapterand pressuregauge; connect thepump pipeto time adapter,openby-passvalveM and pumpuntil the gaugeregisters710 lbs. per sq. in. Closevalve M,disconnecttime pipe from theadapter,andplacethecap ontheadapter. Let thepressuredown to 700 lbs.per sq. in.by openingvalve M andslackeningthecap on theadapter.

58

ClosevalveM, removetheadapterwith pressuregauge,andreplaceplug L. Thelashingmaynow beremoved.

Whenchargingby airbottle,caremustbetakento openthecockgraduallyto avoiddamageto thegauge.(iii) To testtheair pressure.

Removeplug L andscrewin the adapter,blanking theouter endwith thecap. Screwthegaugeinto theadapter.Open valveM, when thegaugeshould register700 lbs. persq. in. If correct, closevalve M, removetheadaptorandgaugeandreplaceplug L. If the pressureis not correct,proceedasin (v).

(iv) To ascertainthe amount of liquid In the recu-peratorsystem.

RemoveplugL. Set theelevationindicatorto zero. Settinegun horizontal,longitudinallyandtransversely,by meansof thefield olinemeter. Open valve M slowly; if oil sprayissuesfrom L, theliquid level is correct. If air only issues,close valve 111. Elevate the gun successivelyto anglesof45 mm., 1 deg. 20 mm., 1 deg. 40 mm., and2 deg. 30 miii.by meansof the right elevatinghandwheeland elevationindicator. Note time angle of elevationat which oil sprayissueson valve M beingopened. The amountof liquid lostis derivedfrom thefollowing table:—

ElevationLiquidLost, at whichoil spray

issues.1 pint. 45 mu.2 pints. I deg. 20 mm.3 pints. 1 deg. 40 min.4 pints. 2deg. 30 miii.

Note.—Thegunshouldnot beworkedwith agreaterlossofliquid than2 pints. -

59

(v) To replenishair pressurelost by leakage.Proceedasfor chargingtherecuperatorwith air, but before

openingvalveM to admitair to thereservoirpumppressurein pipeto 700lbs.persq. in.

6. THE SUFFER.

(i) To fill thebuffer.Elevatethe gun to 10 degrees. Removeplugs N. and0.

Pour in oil at 0 until it overflowsat N. Replace plug Nand continuefilling till oil overflowsat 0. Thenby meansof thesyringewithdraw about~th of a pint of oil andreplaceplug 0.,

About 5 pintsof oil arerequiredto chargethebuflea(ii) Regulatinggear.

This gearis to beusedto shortenthelengthof recoil whenthe latter becomesexcessivethroughwear in thepiston orrecoil valve.

When thescaleis setat 2 a recoil of 43 inchesshould beexpected. This setting is recommendedwith an equipmentwhichis in goodorder. If it becomesnecessaryto reducethelength of recoil, thelever should be movedin thedirectionof thearrow. Eachgraduationon thescalecorrespondsto adifferenceof oneinch in recoil.(iii) Glands.

Glandsshould be tightenedwhen necessary. It is betterto dothis whenthecradleis warm, asthepackingsthenseatbetter. Theyshouldnot beover-tightened,asthis maydistortthepackingsandalsocauseseizure.

To tightenup theglande.—Pullthespringcatchto thefront,thus disengagingit from theslot in the gland, andtightenup the latter by meansof a tommy inserted through tImeopeningin thecap.

60

If aleakageoccursattheglandsandtighteningup doesnotpreventit, asupplementarypackingring shouldbeused; orif a supplementarypacking is alreadyiii use, the defectivepackingshouldberenewed.

7. THE AIR PUMP.

Before starting work, an externalexaminationsshould bemadeto seethatthepumpis cleanandserviceable.

Whenassemblingcaremust betakento seethatall partsare clean andwell lubricated. Working partswill requirefurtherlubricationduring pumping.

To obtain thebestresultsit is essentialto employ a fullstrokein workingthepump,i.e., fromstepto stop.

When charginga systemit is best to continuewithout astopuntil thedesiredpressureis reached,changingthe menif fatigued. If a stepis unavoidable,note thepressureandclosevalveM. Before continuing,pump thepressurein tinepipeup to thepressurenotedbeforeopeningvalveIt!.

If thereis any falling off in theworking pressure,examinethe valves. If gritty, the valves and springs should beremovedandcleaned. If necessary,valvesshould belightlygroundin andcoatedwith thin oil. If tlmis doesnetimprovetho efficiencyof thepump,thepiston shouldberemovedandtherings examinedandtried in thecylinders. If thespringof theserings hasbeendestroyed,they must ho changed.

The pump must be replacedin its box immediatelyafteruse.

The pump should beworkedafew strokesdaily to ensurethatthepackungsarekeptunderpressure.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.

Practicalinstruction in the equipment bould be given torxeaoh recruit before any attempt is made to instruct him in~gun drill. In teachingthe duties of each man at thegun,“the instructor should try to do so by reasoningratherLthan by a long explanation in words. By means of0 questions ho should try to draw from therecruit thecorrect -

>‘answcrs as to his duties, being careful to lead the man’smind into the desiredchannelof thought. Should this

mattempt fail, the instruct-or should give a demonstration~einphasizing thepoints the recruit hasnot grasped. Such~demonstrations should dealwith thework of eachman in~,tho detachment;andall men underinstructionshould, in~‘turn, carryout the work of eachparticularman.

Instructionin gundrill shouldbegivenassoonasthemenareconversantwith all partsof theequipment,andcanhandlein thebestandquickestmannereachof the working partsofthe gun. Once the work of eachman has been thoroughlymastered,it shouldnot takelong for the recruit to learn theactualdrill.

It is most important thatamarkeddistinction should bedrawnbetweeninstructionanddrill.

During the formerthe languageusedshould be as simpleas possible,andthemeaningof all technicalterms which arc

(n 27/l8)q A 2

necessarymust be carefully explained. A conversationaltone should be adoptedand in no circumstanceswhatevershould anythingin the natureof long quotationsfrom drillbooks~beallowed. The men should be permittedto assumean easy attitude and their interestshould not be allowedto flag. Theyshouldbeencouragedto askquestions.

At drill, on thecontrary, rigid discipline must be main-tained,ordersmustbeclearanddecisive,andthedetachmentsmadeto work steadily, smartly and rapidly.- At the sametime the utmost accuracyis essentialand any deviationsfrom themethodslaiddownmustat oncebechecked.

CHAPTER 1.—GENERAL DUTIES.This chaptersummarizesthe duties of the section cons-

DUTIES OF SECTION COMMANDER.

Novu.—Ou serviceit maynot always be possiblefor section

commandersto be with their section-s in action, and it may beinadvisableto withdraw a No. 1. from~his gun to act as sectioncommander. In this case suchof thefollowing dailies as effectboth guns will be performedby the G.P.O. (gunposition officer)andsuch asaffectindividual guns bytheNos. 1. -

a1. lIe COMMANDS his section andis responsiblefor the

serviceability of its EQUIPME~NTand the correctnessofits DRILL.

2. He placeshimself wherehe canbestsee andheartheB.C. or G.P.O.,and will only move aboutwhen necessaryfor thesupervisionof his section. In ordinarycircumstancesheshouldbe on theflank of his sectionnearestthecommandpost.

3. He will acknowledgeorders from the commandpostby salutingwith thehandnearesttheG.P.O., finishing withthehandvertically abovethe head.

Ho only passesORDERS when he seesthat his Nos. Ior the neighbouring section commander have failed toacknowledge.

4. lIe supervisesthe TESTING and ADJUSTMENT ofthesights of his section.

5. Ho keeps a RECORD of the MUZZLE VELOCITY,DROOPAND JTJMP of his guns andalso of their ZEROLINE READINGS to tho AUXILIARY AIMING POINTand BATTERY PICKET. Ho will not keepany recordof ordersduringashoot.

6. Ho reportsthe CREST ANGLES to the G.P.O. whenorderedto do do.

7. He is RESPONSIBLEthat, before fire is openedonanytarget,hisgunsarelayedin theDIRECTIONORDERED.

This is bestdone not by inspectionof the sights,but bycomparingtheline of his two gunsandtheflank guns of theneighbouringsections by looking along the line of eachwith referenceto somedistantobjecteitherin front or rear.

8. He CONTROLShis sectionin action.

7

This control is bestcarriedout by watchingandlisteningrather thanby personalinspectionof sights, &c., e.g., asregardsdeflectioncorrections, observationof which handisusedby3, will ensuredeflectionsbeingput on in thecorrectdirection; as regardsfuze setting comparisonof the fuzelengthscalledout wifi exposeanyconsiderableerror.

9. When his section is RANGING, if onegunmiss-fires,he will fire BOTH ELEVATIONS from tho other gun, thehigherelevationfirst.

10. At BATTERY FIRE ho will report to the G.P.O.when one of his guns MISSESITS TURN.

11. Ho will REPORTto theG.P.O.wheneitherof his gunsgoes OUT 01?ACTION or when he finds that an ERRORhasbeenmade which is likely to have AFFECTED THESHOOTING.

DUTIES 01? 1.1. He COMMANDS andis responsiblefor theentireservice

of his gun.2. Ho give.s theWORDS01? COMMAND detailedfor him

in ChapterII, andrepeatsall ORDERSaffectinghis detach-ment which havenot beenheardby the men concerned.his orders must be given clearly, but no louder thanis neces-sary to enablehis detachmentto hear. -

liquid and air.(iii) ThattheGLANDS,PISTON RODREGULATING

GEAR,andSECURINGNUTSare correct.(iv) That the PROTRUSION of the STRIKER is

correct.(v) That theSIGHTS arc tested. This is done under

thesupervisionof the section commander.(vi) That the MUZZLE VELOCITY of the gun is

correctlyseton the elevationandfuzeindicators.To ascertain if the BUFFER is properly filled,

the gun is elevated to 10 degrees,and plug Nremoved; oil should then appear.

To ascertain If the RECUPERATOR is COR.RW]~LY cHARGED, screw in the adapter at L,outer end blanked. Screw the gauge into theadapter. Open valve M and the gaugeshouldregister700 lbs. a sq. in.

4. He selectsthe GUN PLATFORM, which should be onfirm and level ground. If this cannot be found and timepermits, the higherwheel is dugin. Failing this, he orders3 to adjust the traversinggearso that the breech is abouttwo degreestowards the higherwheel.

5. On coming into action he mans the RIGHT GUN-WHEEL. When manning wheels, the spokes should begrasped as near the felloesas possible.

6. He ascertains,when ordered,theCREST ANGLE andreportsit to thesectioncommander.

9

7. lIe ordersthe deflection to correct for difference inLEVEL OF WHEELS. The differencein level of wheelsindegrees,multiplied by the elevation in degreesgives thedeflectionin minutesrequiredtowardsthehigherwheel. Homust not alter this deflection after his gun hasonceopenedfire on this line.

Whena switch is madeto a targetat a different range,or when giving parallel lines from a named gun, he must boarin mind the amountof deflection alreadyon thesight fordifferencein level of wheelswhenmakingthenewcalculation.

8. He selectsthe auxiliary aiming point and records ontheslatetheZEROLINE anglesfrom the auxiliary aimingpoint andbatterypicket.

9. Beforethegun is laycd on aNEWT TARGET lie gaugestheline of lireandthrowsthe gun into the line.

is ordered in the form -

“POSITION CORRECTION,No....plus (or minus),(yards)“—and is appliedto all elevations

orderedbut is cancelledwhen a fresh targetis ordered.

• (b) Correctionsduring fire for effect, which areorderedin theform

“No... .add (or drop)...(yards).”These are cancelled when a fresh elevation isordered.

10

CHAPTER V.—CARE OF EQUIPMENT.1. CLEANING AND OILING.

Limber gunnersshould be intelligent and reliable men.The projections on the exterior of tho gun, by meansof

whichthe gun slidesin the cradlo of thecarriage,should bekeptcleanandoiled andmaintainedin goodworkingorder;all working surfacesshould be well lubricated and keptfreefrom paint.

The gun shmould be pulled backin time cradleat leastoncea weekby a tacido or dragropes;this lubricatestime guidesammd operates the packings. Time guim slide lubricators ommlyoperateduring recoil andrun out; t-imeso lubricators must bekeptfilled with oil dag.

The boreshould be keptcleanandlightly greased.After firing it should be scrubbedout with causticsoda

andhot water(1 lb. to a gallon), using thepiasababrush.Whendm’y it should be lightly greasedwith mineraljelly.

No gritty substance,such as sandpaperor bath brick,shouldbeusedfor cleaningworkingsurfaces.

All sparepartsslmould be usedperiodically to ensuretimattheyarein workingorder. -

The axletreesshouldbe greasedfrequently,theold grease,particularlyfrom thechannelsof thepipe box,beingremovedbeforenew greaseis applied. If thereis side play betweenthewheelandthecarriage,thelinch-pin shouldbewithdrawnand theadjusting collar revolved to a suitableposition totakeup the play.

The body of thedial sigimt must be cleanedwith a cleammsoft cloth and a little oil, which immust be rubbedoff after~wards, carebeimegtakenthat the glassis not touched.

68

Time exterior of cyelcns aced window simould be cleammedwith a soft cloth or clmamuois leather,which must be keptperfectlydry andcleanandbe usedfor this purposeonly.

Dermatino ~r rubber eye-guardsshould not be unneces-sarilyexposedto extremes of temperatemre,to the sun’srays,or to brigimt light.

Oil andgreasewill inevitably destroyrubberor dermnatine,andprolongedcontactwith benzol,petrol andchemicalsisundesirable. If, hoivever,oil or greasegetson theeye-guard,it shouldbe immediatelyremoved,cit-her

(i) By wiping with a clean rag soaked iii benzol orpetrol.

(ii) By wasiming in water to whichalittle soapandsodahave beeimadded.

(iii) By wiping off with acleandry rag..

The ~o. 7 dial siglmt should be remuovedfrom time bracketbefore travelling anydistanceandwhen not in use must be -

4. BECUPERATOR AND BUFFER.

GeneralPrecautions.

(i) Before fIring.

Careshouldbetakento seethat therecuporatorandbufferarecorreetlycharged,that thereis no leakageat thestuffingboxes,that thecylinderblockis firmly nuttedup to thelugof the gun and the piston rods to the front cap, andthat theregulatinggearis in adjustment.

It is necessaryto strainthe oil beforechargingthe recu-peratoror buffer.

During severeweatimer,recuperatorsandbuffersshould beprotectedas muchaspossiblefrom time cold.

5. THE RECUPERATOR.

(i) To chargethe recuperatorwith liquid.

Lasim thegunto thecradlein timerunout po~Uionanddepressa few degrees. Remove plugs K andL and openvalveM.Pumpor pour in at K EXACTLY 8 PINTS OF LIQUID.Close valve M and replace plug K. Elevateand depresstime cradlea few degreesseveraltimes,thensetit horizontalby a ehinometerboth lommgitudinally andtransversely. THEGUN MUST BE IN THE FULLY RUN OUT POSITION.OpeemvalveId andremoveplug K. Leavetime cradlein thisposition until oil ceasesto overflow at L. Close valve Idand replace the plugs. THE GREATEST CARE MUSTBE TAKEN TO SEE THAT THE RECIJPERATORCON-TAINS THE CORRECTAMOUNT OF LIQUID.

(ii) Tochargetherecuperatorwith air.

Before chargingwith air it is important to see that thesecuringcollaris on therecuperatorram,in orderto preventtime ramfrom beingforcedomit to therearwhenunderpressure,andthat thecorrect quammtityof liquid is in therecupcrat.or.Then proceedasfollows: Attachtheair pumpto thebracketon thetrail, depressthecradleafew degrees,removeplug Land attach theadapterand pressuregauge; conmmect thepump pipeto theadapter,openby-passvalveId and pumpemntil the gaugeregisters 710 ibs. a sq. in. Close valve Id,disconnectthepipe front theadapter,andplacethecap ontho adapter. Let the pressuredown to 700 lbs. a sq. in.by openingvalve.M andslackeningthecap on theadaptor.

Close‘valve Id, removetheadapterwith pressuregauge,andreplaceplug L. Thelashing maynow beremoved.

Whenchargingby airbottle,caremustbetakento openthocockgraduallyto avoiddamageto the gauge.(iii) To testtheair pressure.

Removeplug L and screw in the adapter,blanking theouterendwith thecap. Screwthegaugeinto theadapter.Openvalvo Id, and thegauge should register 700 lbs. asq. in. If correct,close valve N, removetime adapterandgaugeandreplaceplug L. If time pressureis not correct,proceedasin (v). -

(iv) To ascertainthe amountof liquid in the recu-peratorsystem.

Removeplug L. Settheelevationindicatorto zero. Setthegunhorizontal,longitudinallyandtransversely,by meansof thefield elinometer. Open valve M slowly; if oil sprayissuesfrom L, theliquid leveh is correct. If air only issues,close valve Id. Elevatethe gun successivelyto anglesof45 mm., I deg, 20 mm., I deg. 40 mm., and2 deg. 30 mite.by meansof the right elevatinglmandwlmeel and elevationindicator. Note the angleof elevationat which oil sprayissueson valve Id beingopened. Time amount of liquid lostis derivedfrom thefollowing table

Note.—Thegunshouldnot beworkedwith agreaterlossofliquid than ~ pints.

(v) To replenishair pressurelost by leakage.Proceedasfor chargingtherecuperat-orwith air, but before

openingvalveId to admitair to thereservoir,pumppressurein pipeto 700 lbs.asq. in.

6. THE BUFFER.

(I) To fill the buffer.Elevatethegun to 10 degrees. Removeplugs N. and 0.

Pour in oil at 0 until it overflowsat N. Replace plug Nandcontinuefilling till oil overflowsat 0. Replaceplug 0.

About 5 pints of oil arerequiredto chargethebuffer.(ii) Regulatinggear.

This gearis to be usedto shortenthelength of recoil whenthelatter becomesexcessivethroughwear in thepiston orrecoil valve.

When thescaleis set at 2 arecoil of 43 inchesshould beexpected. This setting is recommendedwith an equipmentwhichis in goodorder. If it becomesnecessaryto reducethelength of recoil, the lever should be movedin the directiomeof thearrow. Eachgraduationon thescaleeorrespoimdsto adifferenceof oneinch in recoil.(iii) Glands.

Glands should be tightenedwhen meeeessary. It is betterto do this whentime cradleis warm,as thepackingsthenseatbetter. Theyshouldnot beover-tightened,asthismaydistortthepackingsandalsocauseseizure.

To tightenup theglands.—Pullthespringcatchto thefront,thus disengagingit from the slot in thegland, andtightenup the latter by meansof a tommy insertedthrough theopeningin thecap.

‘71 -

If aleakageoccursat theglandsandtighteningupdoesnotpreventit, asupplememmtarypackingring shouldbeused; orif a supplementarypacking is alreadyin use, tho defectivopackingshouldberenewed.

7. THE AIR PUMP.

Beforestarting work, an externalexaminationshould bemadeto seethat thepumpis cleanandserviceable.

Whenassemblingcaremust betakento seethat all partsareclean andweil lubricated. Working parts will requirefurtherlubricationduring pumping.

To obtainthebestresultsit is essentialto employ a fullstrokein workingthepump,i.e., from stopto stop.

When charging a systemit is bestto continuewithout astopuntil thedesiredpressureis reached,changingtime menif fatigued. If astop is unavoidable,notethepressureandclosevalve Id. Beforecontinuing,pump thepressurein thepipeup to thepressurenotedbefore,openingvalveId.

If thereis anyfailing off in theworkingpressure,examinethe valves. If gritty, the valves and springs should beremovedandcleaned. If necessary,valvesshould belightlygroundin andcoat-edwith thin oil. If timis doesnot improvethe olliciency of thepump,thepiston shouldberemovedandtherings examinedandtried in thecylinders. If thespringof theserings hasbeendestroyed,they mustbechanged.

The pump must bereplacedin its box immediatelyafteruse.

The pump shouldbe workedafew strokesdaily to ensurethatthepackingsarckeptunderpresstmre.
