3. Operating Method
CAUTION
-
Keep your face away from the bleeder valve. Material may spurt out together with compressed air.
-
Do not exceed the maximum operating pressure of the pump (0.7MPa). Overpressure may cause a
product failure resulting in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
-
The maximum operating pressure of the lift is 0.7MPa. Overpressure may cause a product failure
resulting in serious personal injury and/or property damage. Do not exceed this limit. At the
“PRESS” mode, be careful not to put excess pressure on the lift. Material may escape through the
side of the packing around the inductor plate.
-
Keep your hand away from the three studs connecting the air motor and lower pump. Fingers can
get caught in the reciprocating plunger.
-
If a defect occurs during lift operation, immediately stop the lift by adjusting the lift control switch to
“DOWN” or shut down air supply to the unit.
-
Keep yourself away from the lift when operating it. Do not touch any part of the unit other than the
control switches.
-
Do not put your hand or any other parts of your body between a pail and the inductor plate when
installing a pail. An unexpected body injury may be caused.
-
To prevent excessive pressure in a pail, do not push the “AIR” button when the lift control switch is
set to “PRESS”.
-
If the “AIR” button is pushed when there is still material in a pail, air bubbles will form in material.
-
When the lift stops due to a foreign object caught in the sliding part, be sure to move the lift to the
opposite direction BEFORE removing an object. The lift may suddenly start moving if a foreign
object is removed directly.

Description of control and valve
（
Refer to “Fig. 1 Part names” and “Fig. 2 Names of operation part”
）
- Pump Air Regulator
Function : Controlling air pressure for pump operation.
To operate : Clockwise turn will increase pressure. Counterclockwise turn will decrease pressure.
(It can be locked by pushing the knob in.)
Note
: The maximum allowable operating pressure of the pump is 0.7MPa. DO NOT exceed this limit.
Remark
: Discharge pressure can be calculated by multiplying the air pressure by the pump ratio.
- Air Valve, Pump (ball valve attached to the right side of pump air control)
Function : Starting/Stopping the pump.
To operate : When the lever is parallel to the pipe, the valve is open. If the lever is perpendicular to the pipe,
the valve is closed.
Note
: In case of emergency, close the emergency stop valve attached to the air piping instead of this
valve.
- Lift Air Regulator
Function : Controlling air pressure for lift and inductor plate operation.
To operate : Clockwise turn will increase pressure. Counterclockwise turn will decrease pressure.
(It can be locked by pushing the knob in.)
Note
: Set the normal operating air pressure to 0.4MPa.
