WARNING
A bleed-type master air valve is required in your
system to help reduce the risk of serious injury,
including splashing in the eyes or on the skin, and
injury from moving parts if you are adjusting or
repairing the pump.
The bleed-type master air valve relieves air trapped
between this valve and the pump after the air is
shut off. Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle
unexpectedly. Locate the valve close to the pump.
1. Install a bleed-type master air valve (B), to relieve
air trapped between the valve and the motor. See
the WARNING above).
2. Install an air regulator (C), to control the pump
speed and pressure.
3. Install an air line filter (F) to remove harmful dirt
and moisture from the compressed air supply.
Installation
4. Install a second bleed-type master air valve (G)
upstream from all other accessories, to isolate the
accessories for servicing.
5. Connect the fluid hose (L) to the dispense
valve (M). Use a gun holder (J) to hold the dis-
pense valve when not in use.
6. For ease in connecting the air line to the pump,
use an air line quick disconnect (E) at the pump air
inlet.
7. Connect the air (D) and fluid hoses (L) to the pump
(A). Use only grounded fluid and air hoses. Be
sure all hoses are properly sized and pressure-
rated for your system.
NOTE: Additional air line lubrication is not required to
extend the Falcont grease pump air motor life. The
air motor is prelubed at the factory and should not
require additional lubrication between maintenance
schedules. No accessory air line lubricator should be
installed.
