Installation
Grounding
Pump:
ground through electrically conductive pneu-
matic and fluid lines.
Pneumatic and fluid lines:
use only electrically con-
ductive lines.
Air compressor:
follow manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions.
Fluid supply container:
follow local code.
Required Accessories
Install the following required accessories as shown in
F
. 1, using adapters as necessary.
Pneumatic Line
•
Primary bleed-type master pneumatic valve (D):
required in your system to relieve air/gas trapped
between it and the pneumatic motor when the valve
is closed.
•
Be sure the valve is easily accessible from the
pump and located downstream from the pneu-
matic pressure regulator.
•
Pump pneumatic pressure regulator (E):
to con-
trol pump speed and outlet pressure. Locate it close
to the pump.
•
Pneumatic filter (C):
removes harmful dirt and
moisture from compressed air/gas supply.
•
Secondary bleed-type pneumatic valve (pneu-
matic shutoff valve) (B):
isolates pneumatic line
accessories for servicing. Locate upstream from all
other pneumatic line accessories.
Fluid Line
•
Fluid filter (Y-strainer) (included in G):
with a 60
mesh (250 micron) stainless steel element to filter
particles from the fluid before in reaches the pump.
•
Fluid shutoff valve (H):
shuts off fluid flow.
•
Pressure relief valve (J):
overload protection.
Flush Before Using Equipment
The equipment was tested with lightweight oil, which is
left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid con-
taminating your fluid with oil, flush the equipment with a
compatible solvent before using the equipment. See
, page 12.
If using a flammable gas to drive the motor, to reduce
the risk of fire or explosion, route the exhaust away
from all sources of ignition. See
NOTE:
A small amount of the exhaust is not recover-
able, and will vent to atmosphere at the pump. How-
ever, a 100% Exhaust Capture Kit, B32651, is
available.
To reduce the risk of injury from ejected ice, do not
operate the motor without a plumbed exhaust line or
muffler installed.
Installation must comply with all local codes and regu-
lations.
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to
ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire
for the electric current.
