FAILURE TO HEED THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS INCLUDING MISUSE, OVER PRESSURIZING, MODIFYING PARTS, USING
INCOMPATIBLE CHEMICALS AND FLUIDS, OR USING WORN OR DAMAGED PARTS, MAY RESULT IN EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE AND/OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, FIRE, EXPLOSION, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
•
Do not exceed the stated maximum working pressure of the pump, or of the lowest rated component in your system.
•
Do not alter or modify any part of this equipment.
•
Do not operate this equipment with combustible gas.
•
Do not attempt to repair or disassemble the equipment while the system is pressurized.
•
Make sure all grease connections are securely tightened before using this equipment.
•
Always read and follow the grease manufacturers recommendations regarding grease compatibility, and the use of
protective clothing and equipment.
•
Check all equipment regularly and repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
•
Never point the dispensing valve at any part of the body or at another person.
•
Never try to stop or deflect material from dispensing valve or leading connection or component with your hand or body.
•
Always check equipment for proper operation before each use, making sure safety devices are in place and operating
properly.
•
Always follow the pressure relief procedure after shutting off the pump, when checking or servicing any part of the
system, and when installing, cleaning or changing any part of the system.
If the above procedure does not relieve the pressure, the
dispensing valve or hose may be restricted. To relieve the
pressure, very slowly loosen the hose end coupling. Then
loosen completely and clear the dispensing valve and/or
hose.
OPERATION
Inspection Before Using Pump
Any pump that appears to be damaged in any way, shall be
removed from use until repairs are made. Contact a factory
authorized service center for repairs.
Using Pump
To prevent personal injury, perform PRESSURE RELIEF
PROCEDURE before and after operating the pump.
To start pump, turn on the main air supply. Slowly open the
air regulator. Regulate air pressure from 20-40 psi and
throttle to prime pump. Open the dispensing valve to allow
air to be purged from the system. Allow pump to cycle until
grease without air pockets flows from dispensing valve,
then close dispensing valve.

PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
Always perform this procedure before servicing.
A.
Disconnect the air supply to the pump.
B.
Point the dispensing valve away from yourself and
others.
C. Open the dispensing valve into a container until
pressure is relieved.
After pump is primed, adjust air pressure to achieve a
smooth flow of grease from the dispensing valve. Do not
allow pump to operate when out of material. Pump will
accelerate quickly and run too fast, resulting in costly
damage to the pump.
If the pump accelerates quickly or is running too fast, stop it
immediately. Check the grease supply and refill it if neces-
sary.
In a circulating system, the pump runs continuously and
slows down or speeds up as supply demands, until the air
supply is shut off.
In a direct supply system, with adequate air pressure
supplied to the motor, the pump starts when the gun or
dispensing valve is opened and stalls against pressure
when it is closed.
Use the air regulator to control pump speed and grease
pressure. Always use the lowest pressure required to
achieve the desired results.
