INSTALLATION
Air Requirements
For continuous use, the 1/2 HP agitator air motor typically
requires 2 scfm (0.06 m
/min.) of air at 400 rpm and with
100 psi (7 bar) inlet pressure.
Air Line Accessories
Install an air line filter to remove harmful dirt and moisture
from the air supply. See ACCESSORIES.
Downstream from the filter, install an air line lubricator for
automatic air motor lubrication. Set the lubricator feed
rate at 1 to 3 drops per hour.
Installing the Agitator
1.
If using the agitator suction feature, remove the fluid
tube plug (7) at the bottom of the agitator, before
installing it into the drum. See PARTS DRAWING.
NOTE: If there is a thick sediment in the bottom of the
fluid container that could clog the agitator’s fluid
tube, thoroughly mix the fluid with the plug (7) still
in place in the agitator before removing it to use
the suction feature.
2.
Install the agitator on the container cover by screw-
ing the helix through the drum bung hole and screw-
ing the agitator housing into the bung hole. Refer to
the DIMENSION DRAWING.
3.
Position the air motor so the air line can easily be
attached to the needle valve’s 1/8 npt inlet (B), with-
out obstructing any other system components. See
Fig 2.
4.
Attach the air line between the needle valve’s 1/8 npt
air inlet and the 1/8 npt air supply manifold outlet.
5.
If using the agitator suction feature, connect a fluid
line to the 3/4–14 npt(f) agitator fluid outlet (A).
