Connections
Air Supply Connections
Connect the air regulator gauge to the air motor inlet (1 in. G), either directly
or by way of an appropriate hose, which should be at least the same size as
the air inlet fitting. If the air supply to the pump is hard-plumbed, install a
short air hose in the line ahead of the air motor or regulator to serve as a
vibration damper.
Hydraulic Connections
NOTE:
Use hydraulic pipe thread sealant/adhesive where required.
1. Connect the siphon hose and strainer to the suction fitting. The
connections must be air-tight to prevent the pump from siphoning air.
2. Connect an appropriate high pressure hose to the check valve
(1-in. NPT threads) at the fluid outlet and route it to the fluid filter or fluid
heater.
NOTE:
Fluid heaters can only be used in circulating systems. The fluid
filter must be installed between the heater and the spray gun.
Grounding
WARNING:
The high flow of fluid through the pump can create a
dangerous static electricity charge. Sparks caused by a static discharge
can cause a fire or explosion. The pump and all conductive equipment in
the spray area must be grounded. All hoses must be conductive.
Connect the ground cable shipped with the pump to the pump; connect the
opposite end to a true earth ground.
Solvent Fluid
Before using the pump for the first time, remove the “Peel off before use”
label and remove the plug from the vent elbow in the air motor base. This
vents the solvent chamber.

Filler

Vent Elbow
See Figure 2. Remove the fill cap on the tee and fill the solvent chamber
with approved solvent fluid until the fluid is visible approximately 1 cm (0.4
in.) below the fill opening. The chamber holds approximately 50 ml
(1.7 fl. oz).
