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 SAFEF TY PRECAUTIONS found on page 2 of 651615 Single Post Lift/ Ram Operator's Manual.
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 presF sure regulator to 20 P.S.I. (1.2 Bar)
3.Shift the control valve lever to the ``UP'' position.
4.Raise the lift 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 assembly and pump are in the ``UP" position, place and center an opened 5 gallon drum of material on the lift/ram base. Use the stops on the base to center 5 gallon drum. Tighten thumb screw to secure drum.
2.Lubricate lower follower wiper plate seal with any type grease. (siliF cone, vaseline, gear, etc.) This ensures a smooth fit into the pail 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.
TO LOWER LIFT:
WARNING PINCH HAZARD
causing injury
NOTE: B-
NOTE: The lift may hesitate momentarily before starting downward, the air pressure inside the post air chamber must decrease before 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 beF 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 NO OVERPRESSURIZE THE DRUM to avoid damage. 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 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 5 gallon drum.
2.Place and center. a new drum into position. Remove cover. TightF en thumb screw.
