START UP AND OPERATION
(Part numbers referenced are contained
in the MX412 bare pump assemblies part
sheet: 77 ‐ 2906 ‐ EU.)
GROUNDING THE BINKS PUMP
1. Clamp the grounding cable to the
terminal on the high pressure filter or
the air motor.
2. Connect the other end of the
grounding cable to a suitable grounding
device (e.g. grounding bar).
PREPARING TO START UP THE
BINKS PUMP
Proceed as follows:
1. Check that the solvent cup
(0115 ‐ 010059) is full to the level
shown. If necessary, add material to
the solvent cup. (Order part no.
0114 ‐ 009433 for solvent based paint,
and part no. 0114 ‐ 014871 for
waterborne paint.)
2. Select a suitable filter element using
the table in this manual (page 10) and
insert it into to the high pressure filter
(0110 ‐ 009130).
3. Attach a suitable fluid hose to the
outlet fitting (0114 ‐ 016059) on the
high pressure filter (0110 ‐ 009130).
4. Connect the gun—designed at least
for the maximum permitted working
pressure of the pump—to the fluid hose.
5. Make sure that the ball valve on the
air control assembly is closed.
6. Connect the compressed air supply
to the air inlet connection.
7. The pump is equipped with an air
pressure regulator (0115 ‐ 010183).
Before putting the pressure line into
operation, relieve the pressure
regulator by fully unscrewing the
regulating screw. Thereafter rotate
the regulating screw clockwise until
the pressure gauge (0115 ‐ 010192)
on the regulator indicates the
required pressure.
RINSING THE BINKS PUMP
Every BINKS pump is tested with water
during final inspection and thoroughly
rinsed with a non ‐ gumming
preservative oil. With this rinsing
process, it is possible that the residual
moisture of water emulsion will be left
in the pump.
Before the unit is started up for the
first time, a suitable solvent must be
used to thoroughly rinse out the
remains of the preservative fluid and
the unavoidable impurities introduced
during equipment assembly.
Proceed as follows:
1. Prepare the BINKS pump for start ‐ up
as shown above.
2. Close the high pressure ball valve
(0114 ‐ 019091) on the fluid filter.
3. Immerse the suction system in the
tank of solvent.
4. Insert the return flow hose
(0114009103) into the tank of
solvent. Open the high pressure
ball valve (0114 ‐ 019091) on the
fluid filter.
5. Open the ball valve and set the air
regulator (0115 ‐ 010183) to
approximately 1 bar (14.5 psi). The
suction system now draws in the
solvent. The solvent runs back to the
solvent tank through the high pressure
filter (0110 ‐ 009130), the high pressure
ball valve (0114 ‐ 019091) and the return
flow hose (0110 ‐ 009103).
6. Remove the spray tip from the gun
and point the gun into the tank. Unlock
the safety lever on the gun, operate the
gun and close the high pressure ball
valve. The solvent will now flow through
the high pressure filter (0110 ‐ 009130),
the fluid hose and the gun, back into the
tank. The time of
rinsing depends on the length of the
material lines and the solubility of the
spray material. We recommend a
short reflush with "fresh" solvent.
7. Release the gun trigger.
8. Slowly increase the pressure at the
regulator to maximum working
pressure while checking and testing
that all lines and screw and plug caps
are tightly sealed. If there are any leaks
in the system, shut down the BINKS
pump immediately. Only restart the
BINKS pump once you have repaired
the leak.
9. Reduce the air pressure at the air
regulator (0115 ‐ 010183) again and
close the ball valve.
10. Make sure that the return flow hose
(0110 ‐ 009103) is still directed into the
solvent tank. Carefully open the high
pressure ball valve (0114019091) to
reduce the pressure in the fluid hose
and in the high pressure filter.
11. Point the gun into the tank of
solvent and operate the trigger, to
reduce any pressure which may still exist
in the fluid hose and in the gun.
START ‐ UP
1. Prepare the BINKS pump for start ‐ up
as shown above and if necessary, rinse
pump.
2. Close the high pressure ball valve
(0114 ‐ 019091) on the fluid filter.
3. Immerse the suction system in
the spray material to be used.
4. Place the return flow hose (0110 ‐
009103) in the tank. Then open the high
pressure ball valve (0114 ‐ 019091).
5. Open the ball valve for the
compressed air supply and use the
pressure regulator (0115 ‐ 010183) to set
the compressed air supply to 1 bar (14.5
psi). The pump will now draw in the
spray material. The spray material flows
back into the tank through the high
pressure filter, the high pressure ball
valve and the return pipe.

CAUTION
!
Once work is completed, the BINKS pump
must be thoroughly cleaned. Under no
circumstances must you allow paint residue to
dry out in the unit. To clean the pump, use a
solvent appropriate to the spray material.
