3. Prepare Totes
a) Remove shipping cap. Remove foil if it is present.
b) Liberally grease the threads on the tote connector and screw
it onto the tote’s ball valve and hand tighten. (photo 11a)
DO NOT TIGHTEN WITH A WRENCH.
c) Remove dust cap from kamlock on suction/supply hose.
d) Apply grease to the tote connector and connect the kamlock
to the tote connector. Lock kamlock in place by pulling back on
the handles.
e) Connect the supply/suction hose to the king combo on the
intake side of the pump and tighten hose clamp.
f) Repeat for both “ISO” and “CAT” sides.
4. Install Desiccant Cartridge - It is essential that a desiccant
is used on the “ISO” side tote as the material is moisture
sensitive. The “CAT” side tote will need to be vented.
To install the Desiccant Cartridge:
a) Remove white 2” inch center bung on the “ISO” side tote.
b) Apply grease liberally to the threads on the desiccant holder. This will make removal easier.
c) Pierce both ends of the desiccant container using a screwdriver or other punch tool. Two or
three holes on each end is sufficient.
d) Loosen top hose clamp on desiccant sleeve and insert desiccant container with inspection
window facing forward and the arrow pointing down.
e) Tighten hose clamp. (photo 11b)
Note: It is essential to change the cartridge when desiccant in the inspection window turns
from blue to pink, as moisture will contaminate the material.
5. Connect Hoses - Connect 1 1/2 ” clear supply hoses from the pump to the tote connectors
or drum valve assemblies. Make certain that the “ISO” side hose is connected to the “ISO”
side tote/drum and that the “CAT” side hose to the “CAT” side tote/drum. Fully open ball valves
when pumping. Ball valves should be closed when not in use. On drums, be sure to open 3/4“
air vents.
6. Air Supply - Connect air line to the pump. Adjust air regulator to 80 psi (550kPa). Note:
Adjusting the regulator to higher pressures provides only a modest increase in pump speed.
Higher pressures increase the risk of premature air motor failure. The easiest way to increase
the speed on the pump is to fill the tires through the largest valve stem possible. A tire with a
large bore air-water valve can be filled up to 4 times faster than a tire with a standard valve.
