Air Requirements

For continuous use, the 1/2 HP agitator air motor
typically requires 2 scfm (0.06 m#/min.) of air at 400
rpm and with 100 psi (7 bar) inlet pressure.

Air Line Accessories

Install an air line filter to remove harmful dirt and
moisture from the air supply. Order Part No. 106148
for 3/8 npt or 106146 for 1/2 npt.
CAUTION
Not lubricating the air motor will cause air motor failure.
Downstream from the filter, install an air line lubricator
for automatic air motor lubrication. Set the lubricator
feed rate at 1 drop of oil per minute for high speed or
continuous duty usage. Do not overfeed oil or exhaust
air may become contaminated. To manually lubricate
the air motor, see Lubricating the Air Motor on page
7. To order a 3/8” npt air line lubricator, order Part No.
214847.

Installing the Agitator

1. Install the agitator on the container cover by
screwing the helix through the drum bung hole and
screwing the agitator housing into the bung hole.
Refer to the Dimension Drawing on page 11.
CAUTION
Keep the agitator tightly mounted to the drum bung
to prevent damage to the threads from vibration.
When using a modified drum check that there is no
interference between the base of the drum and the
shaft of the agitator.
2. Position the air motor so the air line can easily be
attached to the needle valve’s 1/8 npt inlet, without
obstructing any other system components. See
Fig. 1.
3. Attach an air line quick disconnect valve or ball
valve for main air shutoff. Order Part No. 208536,
Coupler and 169969 Fitting, Quick Disconnect Air
Line Fitting.
4. Attach the air line between the needle valve’s
1/8 npt inlet and the 1/8 npt air supply manifold
outlet.
