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

and gauge
NOTE: Reference numbers in parentheses in the text
refer to callouts in the figures and in the Parts draw-
ings on pages 8 to 11.

Air Requirements

For continuous use, the 3/4 HP (550 W) agitator air
motor typically requires 3 to 4 cfm (0.08 to 0.12
m#/min). The 1 1/2 HP (1100 W) motor typically re-
quires 6 to 8 cfm (0.17 to 0.23 m#/min).

Air Line Accessories

Attach a quick-disconnect air line fitting (24) and
coupler (23), or attach a ball valve for main air shut-off
to the air line. To order a 1/8 in. npt(m) air line fitting,
order Part No. 169969. To order a coupler, order Part
No. 208536.

Model 206760
Connect a 0.25 in. (6.4 mm) minimum
ID air hose to the 1/4 in. npt(f) quick
coupler (23).
Install an air line filter to remove harmful dirt and
moisture from the air supply. To order a 3/8 in. npt
(20-micron element, 5 oz. bowl, without gauge) air line
filter, order Part No. 106148.
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
7. To order a 3/8 in. npt air line lubricator, order Part
No. 214847.

Preparing the Agitator for Use

NOTE: The mounting gasket is not included with the
agitator. To order, see the Mounting Hole Layout on
page 12 for the gasket part number.
1. Install the agitator on the cover of the fluid supply
tank with the gasket in place.
2. Position the agitator so the air line can be attached
easily and will not obstruct other tank openings,
lines, etc. Then bolt it in place.
NOTE: Refer to the Dimensional Drawing and
Mounting Hole Layout on page 12. See Fig. 1 for air
hose connections.
