OPERATION
To start the pump,
turn on the main
air supply,
Slowly
open the air regulator
until the pump runs smoothly.
Open the
dispensing
valve to allow air to be purged
from the system.
Allow
pump
to cycle
until fluid without
air pockets
flows from
dispensing
valve, then close dispensing
valve.
In a direct
supply
system,
with ade-
quate
air pressure
supplied
to the air
motor,
the
pump
starts
when
the dis-
pensing
valve
is opened
and
stalls
against
pressure
when dispensing
valve
is closed.
Use the air regulator
to control
pump
speed
and fluid
pressure.
Always
use
the lowest
pressure
required
to achieve
the
desired
results.
Higher
pressures
will cause
pump
packings
to wear pre-
maturely.
To reduce the risk of serious
bodily
injury
or property
dam-
age, NEVER exceed
the maxi-
mum air or fluid working
pres-
sure of the lowest rated system
component.
MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of serious
bodily
injury,
ALWAYS
follow
the pressure
relief
procedure
warning whenever
you stop the
pump and before
checking
or
repairing
any part of the system.
GENERAL DIMENSIONS
If the pump accelerates
rapidly
or is
running
too
fast,
stop
it immediately.
Check the fluid supply
and refill if neces-
sary.
Prime the pump to remove
all air
from the system
or flush the pump and
relieve
pressure.
Water or even moist air can
cause
pump
to corrode.
To
help prevent corrosion,
NEVER
leave the pump filled with water or
air. After normal flushing,
flush
the pump
again
with
mineral
spirits
or oil based solvent,
re-
lieve pressure and leave mineral
spirits in the pump.
Be sure to
follow
all steps of the pressure
relief procedure
warning.
