) onto the Pump Tube
Assembly and block.
• Make sure to orient the Air Motor Assembly
properly.
57. Screw the air motor piston rod into the Coupling until
the Spring Clip holes align.
58. Install the Spring Clip.
59. Remove the block and position the Air Motor
Assembly onto the Pump Tube Assembly.
60. Install Screws (
5
), Lock Washers (
7
), and Nuts (
8
) that
secure the Air Motor Assembly to the Pump Tube
Assembly.
• Tighten the Screws securely in a crisscross pattern.
Bench Test and Operation
WARNING
Do not exceed the lowest pressure rating
of any component in the system.
Never point a control valve at any portion of your
body or another person. Lubricant discharged at
high velocity can penetrate the skin and cause
severe injury. Should any fluid appear to puncture
the skin, get medical care immediately.
Ensure all components are in operable condition.
Replace any suspect parts prior to operation.
Should leakage occur anywhere within the system,
disconnect air to the motor. Personal injury can
occur
1. Make sure air pressure at the regulator reads zero.
2. Install air Connector (
3
) to the inlet of the air motor.
3. Install Air Coupler (
4
) to an air supply line.
4. Connect the Air Coupler assembly to the Connector.
5. Slowly supply air pressure [not to exceed 30 psi
(2.1 Bars)] to the pump’s motor.
• The pump assembly should cycle.
If the pump assembly does not cycle, refer to the
Troubleshooting Chart
for details.
With air pressure at zero:
6. Connect a product hose to the pump’s material outlet.
• Direct the hose into an appropriate collection
container.
7. Place the pump in the product to be dispensed.
8. Slowly supply air pressure to the pump’s motor.
9. Allow the pump to cycle slowly until the product is
free of air.
If the pump assembly does not prime, refer to the
Troubleshooting Chart
for details.
With air pressure at zero:
10. Attach a control valve to the outlet hose of the pump.
• Make sure the nozzle on the control valve is open
and pointed into an appropriate collection container.
