OPERATION
NOTE:
All fluids used in this pump must be
chemically compatible with the materials used
to manufacture the “wetted parts”. Consult your
chemical supplier to ensure compatibility.
TO START PUMP
:
1. Connect air coupler to pump and turn the air
regulator to the minimum setting.
2. Direct outlet hose into an approved waste
oil container.
3. Slowly adjust air regulator until pump is primed
and is running smoothly. Be sure all air has
been purged from system. The pump should
only take a few strokes to prime. However, in
a large system, it may take longer.
4. Use the air regulator to control the pump
speed and cycle rate. Always use the lowest
pressure needed to obtain the desired flow
rate. This will increase pump and seal life!
5. Never allow a pump to run dry of the fluid being
pumped. A dry pump quickly speeds up and
can damage the air motor. If it speeds up, shut
off air supply immediately. Refill the supply
container and prime the pump to eliminate air
in the fluid line.
NOTE:
To prevent air from being sucked into the
pump and fluid lines, if the supply container
should run dry, use a low-level cutoff valve
(4411-010) at the pump fluid intake.
6. Read and follow the instructions supplied with
each component in your system.
7. If the pump will be unattended for any period
of time, or to shut off the system at the end
of the work shift,
always
follow the
Pressure
Relief Procedure.
PRESSURE RELIEF
PROCEDURE:
Follow this procedure
whenever you shut off the
pump, when checking or servicing any part of
the system and when installing, cleaning or
changing any part of the system.
1 ) Disconnect the air to the pump.
2) Point dispensing valve away from
yourself and others.
3) Open dispensing valve until
pressure is relieved.
WARNING
!
WARNING
!
Pump develops 195 PSI
(13.3 BAR) maximum
working pressure at 150
PSI (10.3 BAR) maximum
inlet air pressure. NEVER exceed the maximum
working pressure of the lowest rated equipment
of your system.
