The 650295
When the following instructions are observed, heavy paste materials can be pumped directly from their original 5 or 55 gallon drum without
air inclusion, or excessive waste. The follower plate creates an air tight seal as well as

TO RAISE LIFT, (THE FIRST TIME):
1.Take note of the pump/drum clearance above. Be certain the lift is clear of any objects above. Also refer to OPERATING AND SAFE0 TY PRECAUTIONS found on page 2 of
2.Connect the air supply (160 PSI MAX) to the air inlet. Adjust (Turn Lift/ Ram Pressure Regulator Knob Clockwise) air pressure on lift/ram pres0 sure regulator to 20 P.S.I. (1.2 Bar)
3.Shift the control valve lever to the ``UP'' position.
4.Raise the Lift/Ram high enough to clear the height of the drum. Stop the lift upward travel by moving the control valve lever to the (center) ``NEUTRAL'' position.
REFER TO PAGE 3:
1.Once Lift/Ram assembly and pump are in the ``UP" position, place and center an opened 5 or 55 gallon drum of material on the lift/ram base.
2.Lubricate lower follower wiper plate seal with any type grease. (sili0 cone, vaseline, gear, etc.) This ensures a smooth fit into the drum as well as prevents curing type compounds from bonding to seal.
3.Check vent plug on follower plate to be sure it easily threads in and out. It is recommended to lubricate the threads of the plug to help prevent possible set up of compound at this point. See
TO LOWER LIFT:
WARNING PINCH HAZARD. Follower can descend quickly
causing injury. Keep hands clear when aligning with contain% er. Read the warning on page 2 of
NOTE: Be certain the Follower Plate vent plug has been removed so that the air trapped between the follower and the material is allowed to escape from this vent. Captured air between the follower plate and drum will escape.
NOTE: The Lift/Ram may hesitate momentarily before starting down0 ward, the air pressure inside the post air chamber must decrease be0 fore it will begin to descend.
1.Shift the control valve lever to the ``DOWN'' position and proceed to lower the pump.
2.Replace the vent plug once the material begins to ooze from the vent opening.
3.The unit is now ready for operation. Adjust (Turn pump regulator Clockwise) air pressure on pump Filter/Regulator until pump be0 gins to cycle.
4.Trigger gun to prime pump with material.
TO RAISE LIFT, (NORMAL OPERATION):
1.Adjust the Follower Plate Air Valve pressure up to approximately 8 psig. DO NOT OVERPRESSURIZE THE DRUM to avoid dam0 age.
NOTE: Air from this valve will only pass when the Control Lever is in the ``UP'' position.
2.Shift the control valve lever to the ``UP'' position.
3.Raise the Lift/Ram high enough to clear the height of the drum. Stop the lift upward travel by moving the control valve lever to the (center) ``NEUTRAL'' position.
TO CHANGE DRUM:
NOTE: The Control Lever should be in the ``NEUTRAL'' position.
1.Unsrew thumb screw and remove old drum.
2.Place and center a new drum into position. Remove cover. Tighten thumb screw.
