Pressure Relief Procedure

WARNING

PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD

The system pressure must be manually relieved to prevent the system from starting or spraying acci- dentally. To reduce the risk of an injury from acci- dental spray from the gun, splashing fluid, or moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Proce- dure whenever you:

Dare instructed to relieve the pressure,

Dstop spraying,

Dcheck or service any of the system equipment,

Dor install or clean the spray nozzle.

1.Shut off the air to the pump.

2.Close the bleed-type master air valve (required in your system).

3.Hold a metal part of the dispensing valve firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, and trigger the valve to relieve pressure.

4.Open the fluid drain valve (required in your sys- tem) to relieve all fluid pressure, having a contain- er ready to catch the drainage.

5.Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to dispense again.

If you suspect that the nozzle or hose is completely clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved after following the steps above, very slowly loosen the hose end coupling and relieve pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Now clear the nozzle or hose.

Flush the Pump Before Using

The pump was tested in lightweight oil, which was left in to protect pump parts. To prevent contamination of the fluid you are pumping, flush the pump with a com- patible solvent before using it.

To flush the pump, connect a short hose to the pump outlet, insert the pump intake into a pail of compatible solvent, direct the hose into a pail, and start the pump as explained at right.

Cycle the pump slowly for at least 5 minutes, then stop and disconnect the air hose. Push up on the ball of the intake valve (N) to drain the lower part of the pump.

See Fig. 4. Turn the pump over to drain the upper part of the pump.

Starting and Adjusting the Pump

With the air valve (K) or regulator (CC) closed, turn on the air supply and connect the air line coupler (L). See Figs. 3 or 5. Make sure all dispensing valves are open.

Slowly open the air valve (K) or regulator (CC) until the pump cycles 5 to 20 cycles per minute. The pump it- self only takes a few strokes to prime. In a large sys- tem, however, the pump may have to be cycled for several minutes to fill all the lines. Once the entire sys- tem is primed, use the air valve or regulator to control pump speed and cycle rate; always use the lowest pressure necessary to get the desired results.

When used for transfer and supply operations with no dispensing valve, the pump will run whenever air is supplied.

Pump Shutdown

WARNING

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

1.Disconnect the air line coupler (L).

2.Relieve the pressure.
