Accessories

Install the following accessories in the order shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, using adapters as necessary.

Air Line

Bleed-type master air valve (E): required in your system to relieve air trapped between it and the air motor and gun when the valve is closed. Do not block access to the valve.

Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly, which could result in serious injury from splashing or moving parts.

Be sure the valve is easily accessible from the pump and located downstream from the air regulator.

Pump air regulator (H): controls pump speed and outlet pressure. Locate it close to the pump.

Air line filter (B): removes harmful dirt and mois- ture from compressed air supply.

Installation

Air shutoff valve (A): isolates air line accessories for servicing. Locate upstream from all other air line accessories.

Gun air regulator (D): controls air pressure to the air-assisted spray gun.

Fluid Line

Fluid filter (P): with a 60 mesh (250 micron) stain- less steel element to filter particles from the fluid as it leaves the pump.

Fluid drain valve (V): required in your system, to relieve fluid pressure in the hose and gun.

Gun or valve (L): dispenses the fluid. The gun shown in FIG. 3 is an air-assisted spray gun for light to medium viscosity fluids.

Fluid line swivel (K): for easier gun movement.

Suction kit (U): enables the pump to draw fluid from a container.
