OPERATION
1. Open the bleed air valve (86). The pump can now expel any air
trapped in (fig. 2).
2. Start the pump opening the pumps valve (pos. A), and increasing
the pressure with the regulating filter gradually (pos. B). The
pump starts operating.
TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOMS
The pump is not working or there is
no ink delivery.
The pump begins to operate very fast. Pump dry-runing. The drum is empty.
The pump keeps on operating
although the ink outlet is closed.
Air leabreage through the air outlet
muffler (25).
Ink flow out put too low or diminishes
over time.
REPAIR AND CLEANING PROCEDURE
SEPARATE THE AIR MOTOR FROM THE PUMP
Operate the pump controlling it with the ball valve on the air motor supply (pos. A).
1. With the pump bleed valve open (86), it should be possible to stop the pump in the middle of the stroke. Close the bleed valve (86).
2. Disconnect the air motor supply (pos. D).
3. Remove the guards (62).
4. Remove the bolt (63).
5. Unscrew nut (64).
6. Remove nut (78) and lift the pump air motor to separate from pump.

3. Close the pump air bleed valve (86) as soon as the material
trapped air is pumped out of the valve.
4. The pump starts to pump when an outlet valve is opened (pos. H),
for example a ink fountaing.
