WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Always maintain a minimum of 1 in. clearance
between rotating agitator parts and container
to prevent sparks from contact.
Typical Installation
air line lubricator
air line filter
air regulator
and gauge
NOTE: Reference numbers and letters in parentheses
refer to callouts in the figures and in the Parts drawing
on page 7.
Air Requirements
For continuous use, the 3/4 HP (550 W) agitator air
motor requires 3 to 4 cfm (0.08 to 0.11 m#/min).
Air Line Accessories
Install an air line filter to remove harmful dirt and
moisture from the air supply. To order an air line filter,
order by the part numbers listed below:
106148
3/8" npt, 20-micron element, 5 oz.
bowl, without gauge
106146
1/2" npt, 40-micron element, 40 oz.
bowl, 0 to 200 psi (0 to 14 bar)
regulated pressure range
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 on page
6. To order a 3/8" npt air line lubricator, order Part No.
214847.

Installing the Agitator on the Drum
NOTE: The mounting gasket is not included with the
agitator. To order, see Mounting Hole Layout on the
back page for the gasket part number.
1. Bolt the agitator onto the cover of the fluid supply
tank with the gasket in place. Position the agitator
so that the air line can be attached easily and will
not obstruct other tank openings, lines, etc. See
Dimensions and Mounting Hole Layout on page
9.
2. Connect the air line to the 1/8" npt(f) air inlet of the
needle valve (14).
3. Regulate the agitator speed with the needle valve
(14). Use the lowest agitator speed needed for
thorough agitation of the paint. Excessive agitator
speed may cause the paint to foam.
Grounding
Proper grounding is an essential part of maintaining a
safe system.
To reduce the risk of static sparking, the mounting cov-
er and 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 ground connector (B) on the rim
of the drum cover. See Fig. 1. Connect the other end
of the ground wire to a true earth ground.
For a ground wire and clamp, order Part No. 237569.
