Typical Pneumatic Ram
Installation
Contact your Graco representative or Graco Technical
Assistance for help in designing a system to suit your
specific needs. Refer to the Therm-O-Flow 200, Instruc-
tions-Parts or the Therm-O-Flow 20, Instructions-Parts
manuals for more information.
This ram extruder forces high viscosity fluids into the
intake valve of the fluid pump.
NOTE: To convert the ram from air to hydraulic opera-
tion, contact your Graco representative for details
Installing Accessories and Connecting Air
Lines
•
Install an air line filter on the air supply line to
remove harmful moisture and contaminants from
the compressed air supply.
•
The air motor slider valve is required in your system
to relieve air trapped between the master air valve
and the air motor when the valve is closed. This
valve should be easily accessible and located
down-stream from the air regulator.
•
The system bleed-type master air valve is required
in your system to shut off the air supply to the entire
unit.
Locating the Ram
NOTE: Refer to Dimensions on page 26 for ram mount-
ing and clearance dimensions.
1. Select a convenient location for the equipment.
Check that there is sufficient overhead clearance for
the pump and ram when the ram is in the fully raised
position. Make sure the air regulators for the pump
and ram are fully accessible.
2. Level the base of the ram, using metal shims.
3. Using the holes in the base as a guide, drill holes for
1/2 in. (13 mm) anchors. Bolt the ram to the floor
using anchors which are long enough to prevent the
unit from tipping. Refer to Dimensions on page 26.

Hydraulic Power Supply
Follow the procedure below to install the hydraulic
power supply.
Bolting Hydraulic Power Supply to the
Floor
1. Select a convenient location for the power supply.
Make sure there is sufficient room to service the
unit. Make sure the air and hydraulic lines can be
easily connected to the supply unit.
2. Use metal shims to level the hydraulic power sup-
ply.
3. Use the holes in the base as a guide to drill holes for
3/8 in. anchors. Bolt the hydraulic power supply to
the floor anchors, which are long enough to prevent
the unit from tipping.
