Installation Installation Grounding 2. Connect the other end of the ground wire to a true earth ground. 3. Ground the object being sprayed, fluid supply container, and all other equipment in the work area. Follow your local code. Use only electrically The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk conductive air and fluid hoses.
Setup Setup Tools required: 9. Wrap blue velcro camlock retaining straps around each camlock connection to secure. • Two adjustable wrenches NOTE: This includes the two camlocks between the • Non-sparking hammer or plastic mallet hopper and the pump lower, the camlock at the pump outlet, the camlocks on the fluid hoses, and the camlock 1.
Operation Operation Pressure Relief Procedure 2. Set air pressure regulator knob (F) to zero pressure. 3. Hold applicator firmly against a grounded metal pail. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you see this symbol. This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is manually relieved.
Operation Wet Out the System 3. Partially fill the clean hopper with material flushing agent, depending on the material you will be spraying. 4. Turn air regulator adjustment knob (F) counterclockwise until it stops and gauge (E) reads zero. NOTICE To prevent material curing in the system, never load material into a dry system.
Page 14
Operation 8. Open bleed type master air valve (B). 10. Continue running the pump until all of the flushing fluid is dispensed into the pail. The system is now wetted out. ti21632a ti21574a . 20 . 18 11. To stop dispensing, close the air motor pilot ball 9.
Operation Mix the Material Prime with Material Always wet out the pump, hose, and applicator before loading the material. See Wet Out the System, page Always follow the material manufacturer’s instructions NOTICE for the material being sprayed. Mortar must be thoroughly mixed to a smooth consistency before To prevent material curing in the system, never load loading it in the hopper.

Operation 6. Turn air regulator adjustment knob (F) NOTICE counterclockwise until it stops and gauge (E) reads To prevent damage to pump seals caused by cavita- zero. tion, run the pump slowly until the system is primed. 10. Rotate the air regulator adjustment knob (F) clockwise until pump begins to move slowly.
Operation 12. To stop dispensing, close the air motor pilot ball Spray valve (G). Prevent Packout To avoid material packout or interruption of material flow: • Use the lowest pressure and largest nozzle size that provides an acceptable spray pattern. This will also result in seals and wear parts lasting much longer.

Operation 1. Wet Out the System, page 13. 7. Open the air motor pilot ball valve (G) located on base of applicator. See Component Identification, 2. Mix the Material, page 15. page 8. Material will begin dispensing. 3. Prime with Material, page 15. 8.
Operation Flush the Equipment 1. Close the bleed type master air valve (B). To avoid fire and explosion, always ground equipment and waste container. To avoid static sparking and injury from splashing, always flush at the lowest pos- sible pressure. NOTICE Failure to flush prior to material beginning to cure in the system will result in damage to system and may...

Operation 9. Slide cylinder (BI) over rod (BF) with o-ring (BT) installed between outlet housing (BK) and cylinder (BI). NOTE: If the o-ring (BT) does not stay in place while assembling the cylinder (BI) to the housing (BK), the cart may need to be tipped upright to install properly. After clamp is installed, tip cart back to horizontal position to finish assembly.
Operation Shutdown 1. Flush the system. See Flush the Equipment, page 2. Relieve pressure. See Pressure Relief Procedure, page 12. NOTICE 3. Perform pump disassembly and cleaning procedure. To prevent rust, never leave water in pump for See Disassemble and Clean the Pump (Daily), extended storage periods.
Maintenance Maintenance Preventive Maintenance Corrosion Protection The operating conditions of your particular system NOTICE determine how often maintenance is required. Establish To prevent rust, never leave water in pump for a preventative maintenance schedule by recording when extended storage periods. and what kind of maintenance is needed, and then determine a regular schedule for checking your system.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 12. 2. Check all possible problems, causes, and solutions listed below before disassembling pump. To help avoid serious injury from splashing fluid, never open a camlock hose or applicator fitting while there is pressure in the fluid line.

Troubleshooting Problem Cause Solution Cannot open or close air motor pilot Dirty air clogged the air motor pilot Install new air motor pilot ball valve. ball valve (G) on applicator ball valve If no ball valve is immediately avail- able, bypass the air motor pilot valve so air is always supplied to air motor, regardless of applicator pilot valve position.
Repair Repair 8. Connect the pump rod. See F . 40. 9. Connect small air tubes to air motor. To help avoid serious injury from splashing fluid, Replace Pump Lower never open a camlock hose or applicator fitting while there is pressure in the fluid line. See Pressure Perform this procedure to replace the entire pump lower Relief Procedure, page 12.
