Installation on a Cart

(Stainless Steel Plates)

Installation

Reference letters and numbers in the text refer to Figs. 13–16 and the Parts Drawing on page 16.

WARNING

MOVING PARTS HAZARD

Moving parts can pinch or amputate your fingers. When the pump is operating and when raising or lowering the ram, keep

your fingers and hands away from the priming piston and the lip of the fluid container.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 5.

1.Relieve the pressure.

2.Install the wiper plate (A) onto the pump intake (B), with the wiper plate vent handle (C) facing the left of the cart. Secure by tightening the setscrews (17). See Fig. 13.

3.The wiper plate is supplied for use with 19 liter (5 gallon) straight sided pails on a ram. It must be modified for use with the pneumatic elevator cart. See steps a and b following.

a.To use the wiper plate with straight sided pails, the large spacer (8) must be inverted. Working from the bottom, use a screwdriver to pry the spacer loose. Work it upward so it is completely above the flange (D) of the wiper plate. See Fig. 14. Next, by hand, angle the spacer and work it off the plate, pulling it down over the flange and bottom wipers (E). See Fig. 15. Turn the spacer so the large diameter is facing up. Work the spacer up over the wiper plate by hand, so it is completely above the flange (D) of the wiper plate. Working from the top, use a screwdriver to position the spacer between the flange (D) and the wipers

(E). See Fig. 16.

b.To use the wiper plate with tapered pails, the large spacer (8) must be removed. Work- ing from the bottom, use a screwdriver to pry the spacer loose. Work it upward so it is com- pletely above the flange (D) of the wiper plate. See Fig. 14. Next, by hand, angle the spacer and work it off the plate, pulling it down over the flange and bottom wipers (E). See Fig. 15. Save the spacer, as it is required for other

applications.

4.Install Cart Accessory Kit 224376. See 308199 for details.

5.Refer to the separate cart and pump manuals for set-up and operating instructions.

Operating the Air Assist Valve Handle

The cart’s air assist toggle valve (G) directs air under the wiper plate, making it easier to pull the plate out of the pail. Refer to manual 308199 for instructions on changing pails using the air assist valve.

For the air assist valve to function, you must open a passage for the air with the valve handle (J). Practice using the handle a few times, until you are familiar with its use.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 5.

1.Relieve the pressure.

2.To open a passage for air to get under the plate, rotate the handle (J) 45_ clockwise and pull it upward (it should travel about 13 mm [1/2 in.] up and down).

3.To close the air passage, push the handle (J) down and rotate it 45_ counterclockwise to lock.

Maintenance

If the wiper plate does not come out of the pail easily when the pump is being raised, the air assist tube (F), elbow (H), or valve (J) may be plugged. A plugged valve prevents air from reaching the underside of the plate to assist in raising it from the pail.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 5.

Relieve the pressure. Refer to the Parts Drawing on page 16 and disassemble the air assist valve (J) as shown. Clear the hose (F) and the elbow (H) in the wiper plate. Clean all parts of the valve, and reas- semble.
