Keep hands and fingers away from the ram plate,
pump fluid inlet, and lip of the fluid container when
raising or lowering the ram to reduce risk of serious

To prevent pinching or damaging the seal during
drum insertion, only inflate the seal when the top
lip of the ram plate is at, or below, the top edge of
the drum.
To prevent the seal from restricting smooth
movement of the ram plate within the drum, only
inflate the seal until it makes contact around the
perimeter of the drum.

NOTE: Be sure all components are
adequately sized and pressure rated to meet
the system's requirements.
b. Using the ram director valve, lower the
ram plate into the drum until it contacts the
product.
c. If the system is equipped with an inflatable
seal and the ram plate is located far enough
into the drum to properly inflate the seal,
inflate it now. If the ram plate is not far
enough into the drum for seal inflation, wait
until enough product has been evacuated to
lower the level of the ram plate in the drum
before inflating.
d. Move the air motor slider valve to the 1
(open) position. Observe that the pump
begins to operate. Adjust air motor air
pressure as needed.
e. Move the ram director valve to the down
position. Observe that the ram lowers
as product is evacuated. Adjust ram air
pressure as needed.
f.
If using an inflatable seal and it has not yet
been inflated and the ram plate has lowered
far enough into the drum, inflate it now.
g. Using the pressure settings for the various
functions, fine-tune the pressures as needed.
