as shown in Fig. 1. Secure with the two setscrews
(5), using the allen wrench (4).
2. Slide the coupling (F) onto the shaft (A) of the air
motor, then insert the agitator shaft (G) into the
coupling. Secure the coupling with the two set-
screws (E).
3. Close the needle valve (D). Install an air line quick
disconnect to the air inlet. Order Part No. 208536
coupler and 169969 fitting, 1/8 npt(m). Then con-
nect a properly sized air hose to the 1/8 npt(f) inlet
of the valve.

a 5 gal. (19 liter) pail of paint (P). Tighten the three
thumbscrews (3).
5. Remove the cap gasket (6) and install a suction
tube (M) in the largest port (Q) near the center of
the cover. Adjust the suction tube so its end is
about 1/4 in. (6 mm) above the bottom of the pail.
Secure the tube in the port with three thumb-
screws (3).

system.
