CAUTION
Always close the ball valve (65) as soon as the
inductor plate reaches the bottom of the drum,
indicating the drum is empty. Allowing the pump to
run without fluid will cause damage to the pump.
Installing a Drum
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 6.
1. Relieve the Pressure.
2. Close the ball valve (65). The handle will be at a
90_ angle to the valve body.
3. Open the bleed-type master air valve (F).
4. Open the inductor plate vent by turning the
knob (10) counterclockwise.
5. Pull open the snap-over valve (27) to raise the
elevator.
NOTE: To adjust the elevator speed, turn the restrictor
valve screw (46) clockwise to decrease the speed or
counterclockwise to increase it.
6. Center an opened 400 pound drum under the
inductor plate so the drum bottom touches the
elevator base (A).
7. Make the top of the fluid concave by scooping fluid
from the center to the sides of the container.
8. Loosen the setscrews (73), holding pump
mounting plates to the mounting bracket (C). Align
the pump and inductor plate with the drum.
WARNING
Keep your fingers and hands away from the
sides of the drum or inductor plate to avoid
pinching them when raising and lowering the
pump.
9. Push in the snap-over valve (27) to lower the
pump while guiding the inductor plate into the
drum.

Operation
10. Press down on the pump and rock it back and
forth to seat the inductor plate. This helps
eliminate air trapped beneath the plate. Continue
this action until fluid appears at the vent
opening (D).
11. Be sure that the pump is aligned vertically, and
tighten the setscrews (73).
12. Close the inductor plate vent by turning the
knob (10) clockwise.
13. For Models 226013, 226018, and 244637 only:
Open the bleeder valve (94) at the pump outlet by
turning the thumbscrew counterclockwise. Open
the ball valve (65) until all air trapped in the pump
and under the plate are pumped through the valve.
Close the ball valve and the bleeder valve.
Regulate the pump speed with the ball valve
handle.
14. All Models: Always use the lowest possible pump
pressure necessary for good delivery. Higher
pressures cause premature pump wear and
usually do not produce better results.
