3/4 in. ID Air Supply Line

3/4 npt(f) Air Inlet Swivel

On the Air Supply Line install:

Air Filter (A) to remove harmful dirt and mois- ture from the compressed air supply

Air Regulator (B) to control pump speed

Air Runaway Valve (C) to stop the pump auto- matically if the supply container is empty.

Air Line Oiler (D) for automatic air motor lubri- cation

Bleed-type master air valve (E): required in your system to relieve air trapped between it and the air motor when the valve is closed.

Never operate this pump with the bleed-type master air valve (E) (supplied with the air motor) removed. When closed, this valve relieves air trapped between it and the air motor. Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly and cause serious bodily injury from moving parts.

Install Transfer Hose (F) to the 2 in. npt(f) pump outlet and tighten securely.

For air requirements and additional Technical Data see page 10.
