SETUP AND DRIVE OPERATION
INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This air-powered pump drive when used with a MASTERFLEX
®
I/P
®
pump head is an
excellent variable-flow pump for hazardous-duty applications, when properly
grounded, or when electrical power is not available.
VARIETY OF PUMP HEADS ACCEPTED
Mount up to 2 MASTERFLEX
®
I/P
®
pump heads and all MASTERFLEX
®
I/P
®
–compati-
ble pump heads. See individual pump heads for flow rates.
SETUP AND DRIVE OPERATION
1. Unpack the drive, save packing material until proper product operation has
been verified.
2. Install pressure gauge, pressure regulator/lubricator/filter assembly (B, C),muffler
(D) and pipe nipple (F).
See Figure 1 for proper orientation. (All items and fittings included.)
Use thread seal for all connections to reduce the possibility of air leakage.
3. Connect compressed air line to 1/4 NPT(F) connection on regulator.
4. Mount pump head and load tubing. (See pump head manual.)
5. Turn on compressed air line to start pumping. (Maximum 100 psig inlet.)
6. Adjust flow rate with the adjustment knob on top of the regulator.
Vary flow rate from 20 to 100 psig. At higher pressures, the pump speed may
exceed 650 rpm. DO NOT EXCEED 650 RPM.
(Lock flow rate by using snap-action push-pull knob on filter regulator B.)
7. For continuous-duty or high speed application, use of the lubricator is
recommended. Adjust the lubricator with the adjustment knob on top.
For higher speeds, set lubricator to provide 1-3 drops/minute. Use a lower
setting for lower speeds. See MAINTENANCE for RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS.
(Lock lubrication rate by using snap-action push-pull knob.)
WARNING: PRODUCT USE LIMITATION
This product is not designed for, nor intended for use in patient connected
applications; including, but not limited to, medical and dental use, and
accordingly, has not been submitted for FDA approval.
A. Pump Head Mounting Holes
B. Filter/Regulator Control Knob
C. Lubricator Control Knob
D. Muffler
E. Air Motor
F. Pipe Nipple
MAINTENANCE
The air motor is a rotary vane type motor. Lubrication is necessary for the bearings,
shaft seals, and rust prevention.
Excessive moisture in the air line can cause rust formation in the motor and can
cause ice to form in the muffler due to expansion of air through the motor.
RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS
Use a misting type oil rated 50 to 200 SSU (ISO Grade 7 to 46) at 100˚F (38˚C).
Unscrew the bowl to fill the lubricator. Press up on the bottom drain to empty
bowl.
CLEANING
Keep the drive enclosure clean with mild detergents. Never immerse nor use
excessive fluid.
DRAIN OPERATION
The filter/regulator assembly has a manual drain. Check it frequently for water accu-
mulation. Open drain by pressing up on bottom of bowl.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If drive does not operate, disconnect power:
a. Check pump head for tubing jam.
b. Check air supply.
c. Check lubricant level.
Contact your dealer for further service needs.
