Installation Install Vented Oil Cap Before Using Equipment The driver gear-box is shipped from the factory pre-filled with oil. The temporary unvented cap (PX) prevents oil leaks during shipment. This temporary cap must be replaced with the vented oil cap (PY), supplied with the equipment, before use.
Setup Setup After placing the EVR in the desired area of operation: NOTE: Make sure the EVR is placed on a level surface. See Dimensions on page 72 for space requirements. Port #6 1. Anchor the EVR to a fixed mounting location. See Dimensions on page 72.
Setup Flushing d. Assemble, connect and tighten the component A (Red) inlet hose to the A Pump Inlet (J). 4. Attach the fluid outlet hoses to the Pump Outlets (K). To avoid fire and explosion, always ground equip- ment and waste container. To avoid static sparking and injury from splashing, always flush at the lowest possible pressure.
NOTE: The EVR is tested with oil at the factory. Flush eyes. To prevent cross-contamination of the equip- out the oil with a compatible solvent before dispensing.
Check your materials for compatibility with zinc plating and sulfur before reusing any material that passed through them, as it may inhibit curing. 1. Press the enable/disable key on the ADM disable the EVR, and verify it is inactive. 3A8565C...

Maintenance Grease Cup Maintenance Frequency of greasing intervals is dependent on material being pumped. As a basic schedule, lubricate pump with grease after 250 gallons of product ( five drums of 55 gallon pails) has been passed through the pump. If the grease has become hardened, remove the hardened materials or grease.
3. Turn the Power Disconnect Switch (C) OFF. Try the recommended solutions in the order given for NOTE: For Online help, visit http://help.graco.com for each problem, to avoid unnecessary repairs. Also, causes and solutions to each error code. determine that all circuit breakers, switches, and con- trols are properly set and wiring is correct before assuming there is a problem.
