Installation
Grounding
Pump:
ground through electrically conductive air and
fluid lines.
Air and fluid lines:
use only electrically conductive
lines.
Air compressor:
follow manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions.
Fluid supply container:
follow local code.
Required Accessories
Install the following required accessories in the order
shown in F
. 2, using adapters as necessary. See
Kits
and Accessories
starting on page 42.
Air Line
•
Bleed-type master air valve (D):
required in your
system to relieve air trapped between it and the air
motor when the valve is closed.
•
Be sure the valve is easily accessible from the
pump and located downstream from the air reg-
ulator.
•
Pump air regulator (E):
to control pump speed and
outlet pressure. Locate it close to the pump.
•
Air line filter (C):
removes harmful dirt and mois-
ture from compressed air supply.
•
Second bleed-type air valve (air shutoff valve)
(B):
isolates air line accessories for servicing.
Locate upstream from all other air line accessories.
Fluid Line
•
Fluid filter (Y-Strainer) (included in G):
with a 60
mesh (250 micron) stainless steel element to filter
particles from the fluid before in reaches the pump.
•
Fluid shutoff valve (H):
shuts off fluid flow.
•
Pressure relief valve (J):
overload protection.
Flush Before Using Equipment
The equipment was tested with lightweight oil, which is
left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid con-
taminating your fluid with oil, flush the equipment with a
compatible solvent before using the equipment. See
, page 17.
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to
ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire
for the electric current.
