Technical Data
Air connection:
Material outlet:
Material inlet:
Noise emission at 0. MPa (7 bar): 79 dB(A)²)
Barrel connection with 2" thread is supplied with the pump.
¹) Motor oil SAE 10-30 at 20° C and max. air pressure.
²) Measured according to the corresponding CE stipulation.
ATTENTION!
The pump is NOT suitable for water based liquids. The pump
contains zinc and aluminum which may react with certain sol-
vents, thus causing explosions. If unsure, the material supplier
must verify whether or not his materials may be used in conjunc-
tion with the said metal parts.
Warning!
Never exceed the max. operating pressure. Never connect the
pump to an air pressure higher than that marked on the unit.
All tubeway components connected to the pump must be part
of the correct pressure category and suitable for the respective
application type.

7.1 Safety precautions

1. The pump is to be used with non corrosive and petroleum-
based fluids like oil and liquid grease, and may NOT be used
for other purposes. It must not be used for pumping petrol
or other explosive liquids. Warning! The pump contains
zinc and aluminium materials, which can react with some
solvents and create explosive gases.
2. Check that all accessories/components are suitable for the
working pressure of the system.
3. Do not use any air pressure higher than that required to
obtain the suitable operating pressure of the system.
4. Tubes must be tested to 1,3 times the working pressure
before being put into operation. All test results must be kept
filed together with this manual.
5. Close and disconnect the air supply and relieve the liquid
pressure in the system before any work to the pump or the
system is carried out.
6. Only use genuine manufacturers spare parts. Never use any
worn or damaged spare parts.
7. Never direct the spray gun or wands against the body or any
other person, as a thin shot of liquid can easily penetrate the
skin or damage the eyes.
8. In the event of accidental penetration of oil or similar
liquids into the skin or eyes seek immediate medical
advice.
9. Periodically inspect all components for leakage or damage,
especially the hoses which can be worn out due to wear and
age.
10. If there is a risk of the line pressure increasing due to direct
heat to the pipe work or by the hoses getting run over, a
safety valve must be installed. This valve must be mounted
inside the hole in the outlet housing destined for this pur-
pose, or between the pump and the pipework, as close as
possible to the pump outlet.
11. Always shut off the compressed air supply to the pump
during the night or longer breaks in operation (e.g. during
weekends, etc.). A hose, the spray gun or other parts might
produce leakage, provoking a substantial quantity of mate-
rial to be spilled and, e.g., washed down the drain.
ATTENTION!
If the air pressure in the system is higher than the working
pressure of the pump, it will be necessary to install an air
G 1/4" (female thread)
G 3/4" (female thread)
suction pipe G 3/4
regulator and gauge into the air line prior to the pump. If
a lubricator has been used with the pump it will be neces-
sary to continuously use it, because it will wash the silicon
grease from the pump. If the lubricator is not continuously
used, this could result in the pump air motor being damaged.

7.2 Fixed installations

1. The pipework system must be installed according to the gen-
eral stipulations for establishing pipework and the local regu-
lations for this type of equipment.
2. Do not mount a pump directly onto a sheet metal wall or simi-
lar construction, which can create noise resonance and aug-
ment the normal noise level of the pump.
3. A hose must be mounted between the outlet of the pump and
the fixed pipework. This hose should have sufficient length to
make it possible to lift the pump in and out of the drum or tank
without any problems.
4. A shut-off valve must always be installed at the beginning of
the pipework to make service easier and to make it possible
to cut off the flow of liquid when necessary.
5. At each branch and before each hose outlet a shut-off valve
should be installed. The shut off valve should have the same
pressure rating as the corresponding working pressure of the
system.

7.3 Maintenance

1. For your personal safety disconnect the air motor from the
air line and relieve the system pressure before any service is
undertaken except for a possible test mode which has to be
conducted with utmost care.
2. Drain condensate from the air filter and remove dirt.
2.1 If a lubricator is installed it should always be filled with air tool
oil or similar. Mineral based motor oil, SAE 10, can also be
used. Synthetic oil or other oils must NOT be used.
2.2 Check the connections and couplings for possible leakage.
2.3 Check all connected hoses for wear and possible damage,
both by visual and tactile control.
3. Always keep workplace and equipment clean and free from
slivers or other oil-absorbing materials. All pollution getting
into the barrel will be pumped into the pipework.
4. When changing drums it is especially important that the
pump tube are kept free from dirt. The dirt will otherwise
enter the barrel and contaminate the spraying material. Put
the pump into a clean drum directly or rest the pump on a
bracket while changing the drum.
5. Have a spillage container available when unloading or
uncoupling the pipework.
6. After the first 6 - 8 operating hours, tighten the following com-
ponents (but not too strongly):
a) Pump pipe leading to the compressed air motor.
b) Inlet valve leading into the pump pipe.
c) All fixing screws (2 x 4 units) of the compressed air motor.
d) All hose or
7.4 Service
1. General Points
1.1 For your personal safety disconnect the air motor from the
air line before any service is undertaken except for a pos-
sible test mode which has to be conducted with utmost care.
1.2 All screws and threads are right handed unless otherwise
indicated.
1.3 Avoid damage to packings and all moving surfaces. When
servicing the pump, all parts should be protected from dust
and dirt, especially the cylinder and the central bar. Keep the
working area and tools clean.
1.4 Be very careful when dismantling and assembling the
O-rings and seals. At the least suspicion that parts are dam-
aged or in conjunction with dismantling and reassembly,
pipework connections.
