Typical Installation

Typical Installation
The typical installation discussed and shown is only a
guide for selecting and installing system components
and accessories. See F
IG
utor for help in designing a system to suit your particular
needs.
The air-powered ram extruder forces high viscosity flu-
ids into the intake valve of the fluid pump. Wiper rings
and other accessory equipment for use with this ram are
listed in Technical Data on page 97.
For information about converting the ram from air to
hydraulic operation, contact your Graco distributor.
Power Requirements
See Technical Data on page 97.
Selecting a Location for the Ram
Refer to the Dimensions drawing on page 96 for ram
mounting and clearance dimensions.
When selecting a location for the ram keep the following
in mind:
1. There should be sufficient space for installing and
using the equipment.
• Make sure there is sufficient overhead clear-
ance for the pump and ram when the ram is in
the fully raised position.
• If you are installing a vent hood make sure there
is sufficient horizontal clearance for it.
• Make sure the air regulators for the pump and
ram are fully accessible.
• Make sure there is easy access to an appropri-
ate electrical power source. The National Elec-
trical Code requires 3 feet of open space in front
of the electrical panel.
2. Make sure that you will be able to level the base of
the ram using metal shims.
3. When you bolt the ram to the floor the anchors
should be long enough to prevent the unit from tip-
ping. Refer to the Dimensions drawing on page 96
for more information.
