FILLING THE OIL CONTAINER
The pump is equipped with the fluid containers that
prevent any fluid from being stuck to the plunger rod or
gland packing. Follow the procedure below to fill the
pump with oil appropriate for ink.
 A pail of off-the-shelf general-purpose spindle oil
(additive-free ISO grade 10) is required.
 Attach the dedicated oil supply hand pump onto the
pail.
 Connect the mouthpiece of the hose to the lower
coupler of the solvent cup, and move the handle of
the oil supply hand pump up and down to supply oil
to the container until approximately half of the
container is filled with oil.
Overflow
Catch Bottle
WARNING
- All packing used for the pump is NBR type. Do not
use any solvent that corrodes NBR type packing.
- Be sure to attach the overflow catch bottle to the
pump. When packing is worn out and ink leaks,
the internal pressure of the oil container increases.
This may damage the container if you do not attach
this bottle to the pump.
- Do not put any oil into the overflow catch bottle
before attaching it to the pump. When ink leaks
due to worn-out packing, ink cannot be released in
the normal way and may gush out from the hole of
the container top.

CAUTION
- When you use the ink supply pump for a long time,
ink overflows mainly because the gland packing is
worn out and then ink has accumulated in the
collection container. This phenomenon indicates
when to replace the gland packing with a new one.
Check to see whether ink is accumulating in the
catch bottle periodically.
SUCKING INK AND REMOVING AIR
 Close the valve of the
delivery pipe and open
the bleeder valve of
the suction pump.
 Place a container that
saves ink discharged
by the bleeder valve
under the bleeder
valve.
 Since ink spatters when discharged if air is mixed
into ink, use a deep container, and place it almost
directly under the bleeder valve.
 Gradually increase a value of the "PUMP AIR
REGULATOR" to start operating the pump. Then,
adjust the operating speed within the range from 8
to 10 cycle per minute.
 Keep operating the pump in this condition until ink
starts being discharged from the bleeder valve.
 When ink starts being discharged, stop the pump air
and close the bleeder valve.
WARNING
-
Do not touch any movable part of the pump nor
let any part of your body come in contact with it
while the pump is working.
-
When ink is discharged from the bleeder valve,
the compressed air may gush out as well. Be
careful not to cause any ink to get in your eyes.
-
Do not block the discharge port of the bleeder
valve with your hand or finger.
