stops on the base to center 5 gallon drum. Tighten thumb screw to secure drum.
2.Lubricate lower follower wiper plate seal with any type grease. (sili. cone, vaseline, gear, etc.) This ensures a smooth fit into the pail as well as prevents curing type compounds from bonding to seal.
3.Check vent plug on follower plate to be sure it easily threads in and out. It is recommended to lubricate the threads of the plug to help prevent possible set up of compound at this point. See
TO LOWER LIFT:
WARNING PINCH HAZARD. Follower can descend quickly causing injury. Keep hands clear when aligning with contain& er.
NOTE: Be certain the Follower Plate vent plug has been removed so that the air trapped between the follower and the material is allowed to escape from this vent. Captured air between the follower plate and drum will escape.
NOTE: The lift may hesitate momentarily before starting downward, the air pressure inside the post air chamber must decrease before it will begin to descend.
1.Disconnect air line from the lift air inlet. Adjust (Turn Needle Valve Knob
2.Replace the vent plug once the material begins to ooze from the vent opening.
3.Adjust (Turn pump air regulator knob
4.Connect air line to pump air regulator and adjust (Turn pump air regu. lator Clockwise) air until pump begins to cycle.
5.Trigger gun to prime pump with material.
