Air and Fluid Line Accessories
Refer to F
. 1, page 6, for the following instruction
Install the air line accessories in the order shown in F
Bleed-type master air valve (F):
required in your sys
-
tem to relieve air trapped between it and the pump.
Air line filter (B1):
removes harmful dirt and moisture
from compressed air supply.
Pump air regulator (B2):
to control pump speed and
outlet pressure. Locate it close to the pump.
1. Install a bleed-type master air valve (F) to relieve air
trapped between it and the pump. Install the valve
in a location that is easily accessible from the pump
and located downstream of the air regulator.
2. Install an air line filter (B1) to remove harmful dirt
and contaminants from the compressed air supply.
3. Install the air regulator (B2) to control pressure.
4. Install an air line lubricator (B3) to lubricate the air
cylinder.
5. Install the (3-way) air solenoid valve (C) for control
of the pump forward and return strokes.
To use the air regulator reading to determine the fluid
output pressure, multiply the ratio of the pump (29:1)
by the air pressure shown on the regulator gauge or
see Table 1: Lubricant Output - PSI or Table 2: Lubri
-
cant Output - MPa (bar), provided on page 13.
Limit the air to the pump so that no air line or fluid line
component or accessory is over pressurized.
Air Supply Lines (U)
1. Install two air supply lines (U) between the air sole
-
noid outlets (C) and the pump (D) as shown in the
Typical Installation, page 6.
2. Install an air supply line (U) between the air solenoid
valve inlet (C) and the Filter/Regulator/Lubricator
Assembly (B) as shown in the Typical Installation,
page 6.
Fill Reservoir
1. Remove the grease cap (43) (F
. 4) from the fill port
to access the fill stud (42).
2. Connect the quick connect fitting on the fill pump
to the fill port (42).
Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpect
-
edly which could result in serious injury from moving
parts or splashing.
NOTICE
Do not mount the air accessories directly on the
solenoid valve air inlet. The air inlet and fittings are
not strong enough to support the accessories and
may break. Provide a bracket on which to mount the
accessories.
The maximum working pressure of each
component in the system may not be the same.
To reduce the risk of over-pressurizing any part of
your system, know the maximum working
pressure rating of each component and its
connected components. Never exceed the
maximum working pressure of the lowest rated
components connected to a particular pump.

Over-pressurization can result in equipment
rupture and serious injury. Fill slowly to avoid over
pressurizing the reservoir.
