The elevator air control has three settings: RAISE,
OFF, and RUN.
• RAISE allows the elevator to be raised and
disables the agitator and feed pump air.
• OFF turns off all air pressure. If the elevator is
raised, OFF will lower the elevator.
• RUN enables the agitator and feed pump air.
A restrictor valve on the elevator air line slows the
elevator for safe operation.

To prevent air motor failure and possible damage
to equipment, always keep the air motor properly
lubricated.
The Xtreme-Duty Agitator is provided with an air
line lubricator to aid in proper maintenance. Fill
the lubricator with SAE #10 light oil and set the
lubricator feed rate at 1 drop of oil per minute
for high speed or continuous duty usage. Do
not overfeed oil or exhaust air may become
contaminated. To manually lubricate the air motor,

Fluid under high pressure can be injected through
the skin and cause serous injury. To reduce the
risk of an injury from injection, splashing fluid, or
moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
whenever you:
• are instructed to relieve the pressure,
• stop spraying,
• check or service any of the system equipment,
• or install or clean the spray tips.
Refer to the feed pump manual and component
