Installation

Air and Fluid Line Accessories

CAUTION

Do not hang the air accessories directly on the air

inlet. Mount them on brackets. The fittings are not

strong enough to support the accessories and may

break.

DUse thread sealant on male threads except at

swivel connections.

DInstall a bleed-type master air valve upstream from

the pump air regulator, but within easy reach of the

pump.

WARNING

A bleed-type master air valve is required in the

system to help reduce the risk of serious bodily

injury, including fluid injection, splashing in the

eyes, and injury from moving parts when

adjusting or repairing the pump. This valve

relieves air trapped between the valve and the

pump to prevent the pump from cycling unex-

pectedly.

DInstall the pump end of the air supply lines about

24 in. (610 mm) above the floor.

DIf you are installing several pumps, put tees in the

supply line immediately above and behind the pump

locations. See Fig. 5.

lubrication.

To order a 250 psi (17.5 bar) maximum working

pressure air line lubricator, order a Part No. below:

3/8 in. npt 214847

1/2 in. npt 214848

DInstall an air regulator to control pump speed and

pressure.

To order a 300 psi (21 bar) maximum working

pressure regulator, order a Part No. below:

3/8 in. npt 109075

1/2 in. npt 104266

DInstall an air line filter to remove harmful dirt and

contaminants from your compressed air supply.

Operation

Pressure Relief Procedure

INJECTION HAZARD

To reduce the risk of serious bodily

injury, including fluid injection, injury from

moving parts, or splashing in the eyes or

on the skin, always follow this procedure whenever

you shut off the pump, when checking or servicing

any part of the system, when installing or changing

dispensing devices, and whenever you stop dis-

pensing.

WARNING

1. Close the air regulator and disconnect the air

supply hose.

2. Close the pump’s bleed-type master air valve

(required in the system).

3. Open the dispensing valve until pressure is fully

relieved.

If you suspect that the dispensing valve is clogged, or

that pressure has not been fully relieved after following

the steps above, very slowly loosen the dispensing

valve coupler or hose end coupling to relieve pressure

gradually, then loosen completely.

Flushing

To reduce the risk of fluid injection injury, static

sparking, or splashing, relieve pressure, hold a metal

part of the dispensing valve firmly to the side of a

grounded metal pail and use the lowest possible fluid

pressure during flushing.

1. Before connecting the supply lines to the supply

tank, flush the pump and supply line with a

compatible solvent.

2. Connect the supply line to a solvent supply. Turn

on the main air, open the bleed-type master air

valve, and slowly open the pump air regulator until

the pump is cycling slowly. Use the lowest possible

pressure, and flush until the lines are thoroughly

cleaned. Shut off the pump, and relieve the

pressure.

INJECTION HAZARD

To reduce the risk of serious injury

whenever you are instructed to relieve

pressure, always follow the Pressure

Relief Procedure above.

WARNING

3. Disconnect the solvent supply, and connect the

supply lines to the tank.

4. Connect the fluid supply hose from the pump to

the dispensing valve.

Operating

WARNING

Never exceed 180 psi (12.6 bar) Maximum Air

Pressure to these pumps. Using higher air

pressure will cause the pump to overpressurize,

which may result in component rupture, fire, or

explosion and cause serious bodily injury.

1. Open the bleed-type master air valve.

2. Slowly open the pump air regulator until the pump

is running smoothly.

3. Open the dispensing valve, and allow the system

to prime. When the system is fully primed, the

pump starts and stops as the dispensing valve is

opened and closed.

Never allow the pump to run dry of the fluid

being pumped. A dry pump will quickly

accelerate to a high speed and possibly damage

itself. If the pump accelerates quickly, stop it

immediately, and check the fluid supply. If the

supply container is empty and air has been

pumped into the lines, prime the pump and lines

with fluid, or flush it and leave it filled with a

compatible solvent. Be sure to eliminate all air

from the fluid system.

CAUTION

4. Use the air regulator to control pump speed and

fluid pressure. Always use the lowest possible

pressure, which reduces pump wear.

5. When shutting off the system, and before checking

or servicing it, relieve the pressure.

INJECTION HAZARD

To reduce the risk of serious injury

whenever you are instructed to relieve

pressure, always follow the Pressure

Relief Procedure at left.
