Installation
The Uni-Drum Supply System is supplied with every
major component attached and weighs approximately
3950 lb (1792 kg). The Uni-Drum Supply System
should never be moved or lifted by one person. To
avoid serious injury or equipment damage, engage an
adequate number of personnel and use a forklift,
hand truck, and support devices, such as a hoist
when moving and installing the Uni-Drum.
Exercise care when the system is being moved to its
installed location. Jarring, dropping, or tilting the frame
while it is being lifted or moved can result in damage to
the system.
The installation procedures in this section are intended
to serve as a guide for installing the Uni-Drum Supply
System. If you need more information, contact your
Graco distributor.
NOTE: When raising and lowering the Ram, be sure
that the unit is unobstructed overhead to avoid
interference with other objects.

Preparing the Site

Ensure that you have an adequate compressed air supply.
Refer to the applicable instruction manual listed in Related
Manuals on page 3 to find the air consumption of your
Pump. Approximately 450 cfm at 80 psi is required to
operate the Pumps at the maximum rate.
Keep the site clear of any obstacles or debris that could
interfere with the installer's and operator's movement.
Selecting a Location for the
Uni-Drum
Refer to Technical Specifications on page 94 for ram
mounting and clearance dimensions.
When selecting a location for the Uni-Drum, keep the
following in mind:

NOTICE
1. There should be sufficient space for installing,
servicing, and using the equipment.
• Select an accessible location for the system.
There must be sufficient space around the
system for maintenance.
• Select a convenient location for the equipment.
Check that there is sufficient overhead clearance
for the Pump and ram when the ram is in the fully
raised position. Make sure the Air Regulators
(AC, AE) for the Pumps (C) and Follower Plate
(D) are fully accessible.
• Make sure the air source for the PLC control
panel and shutoff valves are fully accessible.
• Make sure there is easy and safe access to an
appropriate pneumatic source. Graco
recommends a minimum of 3 feet (0.91 m) of
open space in front of the Pneumatic Logic Panel
(G).
2. Make sure that you will be able to level the base of
the ram using metal shims.
Preparing to Install the
