Air Requirements
For continuous use, the 1/2 HP agitator air motor
typically requires 2 scfm (0.06 m#/min.) of air at 400
rpm and with 100 psi (7 bar) inlet pressure.
Air Line Accessories
Install an air line filter to remove harmful dirt and
moisture from the air supply. Order Part No. 106148
for 3/8 npt or 106146 for 1/2 npt.
Downstream from the filter, install an air line lubrica-
tor for automatic air motor lubrication. Order Part No.
214847 for 3/8 npt(f) or 214848 for 1/2 npt. Set the
lubricator feed rate at 1 to 3 drops per hour.
Installing the Agitator
1. Install the agitator on the container cover by
screwing the helix through the drum bung hole and
screwing the agitator housing into the bung hole.
Refer to the Dimension Drawing on page 9.
CAUTION
Keep the agitator tightly mounted to the drum bung
to prevent damage to the threads from vibration.
When using a modified drum check that there is no
interference between the base of the drum and the
shaft of the agitator.
2. Position the air motor so the air line can easily be
attached to the needle valve's 1/8 npt inlet, without
obstructing any other system components. See
Fig. 1.
3. Attach an air line quick disconnect valve or ball
valve for main air shutoff. Order Part No. 208536,
Coupler and 169969 Fitting, Quick Disconnect Air
Line Fitting.
4. Attach the air line between the needle valve's
1/8 npt inlet and the 1/8 npt air supply manifold
outlet.

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:
Remove the grounding screw (A) and lockwasher (B).
See Fig. 2. Secure the ground wire terminal (C) to the
agitator with the screw and lockwasher. Connect the
other end of the ground wire to a true earth ground.
Order Part No. 222011, Ground Wire and Clamp.
