Shutdown and Care of the Pump
To reduce the risk of serious injury
whenever you are instructed to relieve
pressure, always follow the
Pressure
Relief Procedure.
Check the oil in the cup of pump;
please add the appropriate
lubricated oil, and it should be over a
half of cup in order to prolong the life
of O-ring and packing.
After a period of time using the pump,
the packing and the O-ring below
the cup could be loosen by wearing.
Meanwhile, please using the tools
that COSMOSTAR provided (or using
the compatible one) to fix the hole of
the cup and turn it by clockwise. The
cup would be tighten with packing
and O-ring, and the material would be
stop leaking.
Set Air and Fluid Pressure with the
Air Regulator
To set the air and fluid pressure with
the air regulator, slowly increase the
air pressure, and use the regulator
setting to control the pump speed
and fluid pressure. Always use the
lowest air pressure necessary to get
desired results. Higher pressures
cause premature tip and pump wear.
To increase air pressure, turn T-
handle clockwise. To decrease air
pressure, turn T-handle
counterclockwise. To lock regulator
setting, tighten jam nut.
With
the
pump
and
lines
primed,
and
with
adequate
air
pressure
and
volume supplied,
the
pump
will
start
and
stop as
you
open
and
close
the
gun.

For overnight shutdown,
stop the pump at the
bottom of its stroke to
prevent fluid from
drying on the exposed
displacement rod and
damaging the throat
packing. Relieve the
pressure. Always flush
the pump before the
fluid dries on the
displacement rod. See
Flushing below.
