CAUTION:
Performance will be
affected by a suction path seal that is
not air tight. All threaded connections
need to have Teflon™ tape or other
suitable means to achieve a tight air
and fluid connection.
!
WARNING:
Attach a proper ground
wire to the Bobcat's grounding lug
(item 35) before starting the pump.
!
Installation
Remove pump from carton and attach
telescoping tube to pump. Attach pump to
cover, bung fitting, or other mountings.
Blow out any foreign material from the air supply
line before connecting to pump. An air line filter/
regulator is recommended for all applications;
wet and dirty air will shorten the life of the pump.
NOTE:
For severe duty applications
, an air
line lubricator is recommended for better
performance and longer pump life. Use an SAE
10 oil and set the lubricator for 2 drops per hour.
Be sure the air supply is
OFF
before connecting
accessories and/or pump.
NOTE:
DO NOT
hang filters/regulators/
lubricators or other equipment of this type
directly from pump air inlet. The fittings are not
strong enough to support the weight and may
cause one or more to leak and/or break. A
bracket should be used to support the use of
these products.
CAUTION
If you are not using a low-level cut-off
at the pump fluid intake, install a pump
runaway valve to shut off the air to the
pump, when the pump accelerates beyond
the pre-adjusted setting. A pump that runs
too fast can be seriously damaged.
!
1. Install an air line regulator to control pump
speed and air pressure for the system.
2. Install an air line filter to remove and trap
contaminates that could cause unwanted
wear and tear on pump air motor.
3. Install a quick disconnect coupler to relieve
air pressure between the pump air motor and
regulator for servicing purposes later.
4. Install fluid hose, making note of fluid and
pressure compatibility of hose.
