NOTE: Reference numbers and letters in parentheses
in the text refer to the Parts Drawing, Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.
Grounding
Proper grounding is an essential part of maintaining a
safe system.
To reduce the risk of static sparking, all electrically
conductive objects or devices in the spray area must
be properly grounded. Check your local electrical code
for detailed grounding instructions for your area and
type of equipment.
To ground the agitator:
Connect one end of the ground wire (A) to the agita-
tor's ground connector (B). See Fig. 1. Connect the
other end of the ground wire to a true earth ground.
Order Part No. 237569, Ground Wire and Clamp.

Air Requirements
At 500 rpm and 20 psi (1.4 bar), the agitator air motor

requires 22 cfm (0.65 m
increases as the speed and air pressure is increased.
See the graph on page 8.
Preparing the Agitator for Use (See Fig. 2)
On the air line, install an air line filter to remove harm-
ful dirt and moisture from the compressed air supply.
Order Part No. 106148, 3/8 npt(f) or 106149, 1/2 npt(f).
CAUTION
Not lubricating the air motor will cause air motor failure.
Downstream from the filter, install an air line lubricator
for automatic air motor lubrication. Set the lubricator
feed rate at 1 drop of oil per minute for high speed or
continuous duty usage. Do not overfeed oil or exhaust
air may become contaminated. To manually lubricate
the air motor, see Lubricating the Air Motor below.
To order a 3/8" npt air line lubricator, order Part No.
214847.
Mount the agitator on the edge of the drum or tank and
securely tighten the clamp screw (2). To adjust the an-
gle of the agitator in the drum, loosen the bracket
screw (4). Adjust the agitator to the desired angle, then
retighten the screw securely.
Connect the air supply hose between the 3/8 npt(m)
ball valve (1) and the air supply line.
