Installation

Prepare the Site
NOTE: The compressed air supply to the gun must be
clean and dry, to prevent damage to the finish. Use a
coalescing air filter in the main air supply line.
Fig. 1. Ensure that the wall is strong enough to support
the weight of the pump and accessories, fluid, hoses,
and stress caused during pump operation.
Ensure that you have an adequate compressed air
supply.
Bring a compressed air supply line from the air com-
pressor to the pump location. Be sure all air hoses are
properly sized and pressure-rated for your system.
Use only electrically conductive hoses. The air hose
(A) should have a 3/8 npt(m) thread. A quick discon-
nect coupling is recommended.
Install a bleed-type shutoff valve (B) in the air line to
isolate the air line components for servicing. Install an
air line filter (C) and a moisture trap and drain valve
(D) to help remove moisture and contaminants from
the compressed air supply.
Keep the site clear of any obstacles or debris that
could interfere with the operator's movement.
Have a grounded, metal pail available for use when
flushing the system.
