AIR SYSTEM
An air pulsation chamber is located on the left side of the unit. The air is supplied to the chamber from the compressor. The chamber is eouipped with an air pressure gauge and a safety valve. The safety valve is set at the factory at approximately 60 lbs.
HI-VOLUME PUMP
An outstanding feature of the ESSICK MODEL FM9 finishing machine is that two different size pumps may be used, which tremendously increases its versatility. A more powerful engine and transmission are designed into this unit and a
The installation of this pump is very easy because all parts are interchangeable. It is only necessary to remove the rotor pin, which fastens the rotor to the connecting rod located at the bottom of the material hopper, and then thread out the stator tube with the rotor encased, and install the

FM-9 — OPERATIONS
COMPRESSOR MOTOR - The 1H.P. compressor motor is operated by a manual
PUMP MOTOR

The air control sleeve valve on the nozzle is the master link in the system. Connect the air line from the air compressor outlet to the inlet on the control block next to the sleeve valve. This line has air blowing out of it when the compressor is running. The other air line runs from the sleeve valve to the pressure switch inlet on the machine.
In operation, the sleeve valve operates the pressure switch. When the sleeve valve is in the CLOSED position, air pressure is applied to the pressure switch.This closes the switch and starts the pump motor.When the sleeve valve is in the OPEN position, air pressure is released from the pressure switch.This opens the switch and stops the pump motor.The pump cannot be operated without the air controls and air lines. This is a safety feature for the gun operator and must not be bypassed in any way.
