Pressure Relief Procedure

This equipment will stay pressurized until the pressure has been manually relieved. To reduce the risk of serious injury from pressurized fluid, accidental spray from the dispense valve or splashing fluid, follow this Pressure Relief Procedure when ever you:

•Are instructed to relieve pressure.

•Check, clean or service any system equipment.

•Install or clean fluid nozzles or filter.

1.Turn off power supply to the pump or close upstream ball valve.

2.Trigger the dispense valve into a waste container to relieve pressure.

3.Open any bleed-type master air valves and fluid drain valves in the system.

4.Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to pressurize the system.

Grounding

FIRE HAZARD: Conductive metal surfaces on the meter must not make contact with any positively charged metal surface, including (but not limited to), the starter solenoid terminal, alternator terminal or battery terminal. Such contact could cause electrical arcing and a fire.

The equipment must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of static and electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current due to static build up or in the event of a short circuit.

Pump: Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.

Air and fluid hoses: Only use electrically conductive hoses. Check electrical resistance of hoses. If total resistance to ground exceeds 29 megohms, replace hose immediately.

Installation

Air compressor: Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.

Fluid supply container: Follow local code.

To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or relieving pressure: hold a metal part of the dispense valve firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger the valve.

Pre-Installation Procedure

1.Relieve pressure, page 9.

2.Close the shut-off valve (B, FIG. 1).

3.Ground the hose and reel or console, page 9. Leave at least two threads bare when using PTFE tape. The bare threads ensure a ground is maintained.

Installation Procedure

NOTICE

•If this is a new installation or if the fluid lines are contaminated, flush the lines before you install the metered valve. Contaminated lines could cause the valve to leak.

•Never dispense compressed air with meter. Doing so will damage meter.

Flushing

If this is an existing installation, go to Installing Meter section, page 10. The following procedure, Steps 1-5are the Flushing Procedure.

1.Close the fluid shut-off valve (B, FIG. 1, page 8) at each dispense position.

2.Make sure:

•main fluid outlet valve at the pump is closed,

•air pressure to the pump motor is adjusted, and

•air valve is open.
