Operation
1. Turn on the main power switch on the side of the
motor.
2. Press a speed button on top of the motor to select a
pump speed, based on conduit size, speed of pull,
and desired coating. Use the following speeds for
typical pulls:
Low: Up to 2"
•
Medium: 2-1/2" through 4"
•
High: 5" and 6"
•
The last speed used will be the default speed when
the unit is turned on.
3. Step on the foot switch to start the flow of lubricant.
Typically, the pump should run only while the cable
is moving to avoid wasting lubricant.
4. Verify that lubricant is flowing out of the applicator.
5. Check the pressure gauge. If it reads below 20 psi,
the lubricant is running low or the follower plate
is not seated against the lubricant. Replace with
a fresh bucket or press the follower plate down
against the lubricant.
Note: If all three lights on top of the pump assembly
begin to flash, an error has occurred. Turn the main
power switch off and then back on.
Cleanup
Wipe out excess lubricant from the applicator.
•
Replace the applicator in the carrying case to keep
•
the lubricant from drying out.
Leave the pump assembly in the lubricant bucket
•
or place it in a fresh bucket. Do not leave the pump
intake exposed to air.
Note: If the lubricant is allowed to dry out in any of the
accessories, bathe the item in hot water until the lubri-
cant becomes fluid again. Do not immerse the motor in
water.
Battery
1. Press and hold the battery charge button. When the
LEDs light up, the color indicates the status of the
battery:
Green: Battery is more than half charged
•
Amber: Battery is less than half charged
•
Red: Battery is discharged
•
2. Charge the battery using the supplied charger. Plug
the charger into a wall outlet, and connect the other
end to the charging port on the battery. (The red
LED will remain on as long as the battery is plugged
into a power source.)
A first use or completely depleted battery will take
•
6 to 8 hours to charge.
A half discharged battery will take 3 to 4 hours to
•
charge.
A battery showing full charge can be charged for
•
1 to 2 hours.
A green indicator light does not necessarily mean
•
that the battery is 100% charged.
A fully charged battery should be able to pump
•
three to four 5 gallon buckets of lubricant.
Note: The battery can be charged from a vehicle power
supply. However, a vehicle power supply may provide
higher than desired charging current, which may
damage the battery, and should only be used as a last
resort.
