OperationWARNING
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, which
can result if the tank pressure is not fully relieved,
always follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on
page 6 before opening the tank cover or fill port.
1. Fill the pressure tank as explained in the Pressure
Tank Instruction Manual 308369.
2. Screw on the filler cap (F) (see Fig. 3), or if the
tank cover was removed, place the agitator and
cover on the pressure tank and secure the cover
with the c-clamp handles (M). See Fig. 5.
WARNING
Over-pressurizing the tank or accessories could
cause a part to rupture. To reduce the risk of
serious injury, including fluid injection and splashing
in the eyes or on the skin, or property damage,
never exceed the maximum air and fluid working
pressure of the lowest rated component in your
system.
3. Close the tank air regulator(s) by turning the
knob(s) counterclockwise. Turn on the air supply.
4. To start the agitator, slowly open the needle valve
(20). Adjust the speed of the agitator, with the
needle valve, to about 40 to 60 rpm.
Do not operate the agitator at a high speed for a
long period of time. Excessive agitator speed can
cause foaming of fluid (making fluid unusable), or
vibration and increased wear on parts. Always
agitate the fluid only enough to maintain even
mixing.
CAUTION
5. To stop the agitator, close the needle valve (20).
