OWNERS MANUAL

RETAIN THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE TO IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND
OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.

PROPER USE AND MAINTENANCE OF THIS EQUIPMENT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
OWNER AND/OR OPERATOR.

DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT UNLESS YOU HAVE CAREFULLY READ AND
UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL.

! WARNING !

NEVER exceed the stated maximum working pressure of the pump or of the lowest rated component in your
system.

NEVER modify any part of this equipment.
NEVER use combustible gas with this equipment.
NEVER attempt repairs while the system is under pressure.
NEVER attempt to disassemble the equipment while the system is under pressure.
ALWAYS tighten fluid connections before using this equipment
ALWAYS read/follow the fluid manufacturer’s recommendations regarding fluid compatibility.
ALWAYS read/follow the fluid manufacturer’s recommendations regarding the use of protective clothing

and equipment.

ALWAYS use an air line filter/moisture eliminator at the air inlet for the pump.
ALWAYS use air line lubricator.
REGULARLY check all equipment and repair/replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

FAILURE TO HEED THESE WARNINGS INCLUDING OVERPRESSURIZING,
ALTERING PARTS, USE OF INCOMPATIBLE FLUIDS, MISUSE, OR USE OF
DAMAGED/WORN PARTS MAY RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE,
PROPERTY DAMAGE, FIRE, EXPLOSION AND/OR SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Extreme caution should be used when operating this equipment as it generates very high fluid pressure.
Leaks from loose or ruptured components or material from dispensing valve can inject fluid through the skin
causing serious bodily injury and possible need for amputation. Always wear protection to prevent material
splashing onto skin or into eyes.

IMPORTANT:

PENETRATE THE SKIN! INFORM PHYSICIAN OF EXACTLY WHAT WAS INJECTED. PLEASE
DO NOT TREAT THIS INJURY AS A SIMPLE CUT.

GET EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE IMMEDIATELY IF ANY FLUID APPEARS TO

! WARNING ! – RELIEF PROCEDURE

DO NOT EVER point the dispensing valve at another person.
DO NOT EVER attempt to stop material from the dispensing valve or a leaking connection with your hand

or body.
BEFORE EACH USE, check equipment for proper operation and to insure safety devices are in place and
working properly.
NEVER modify this equipment. Modification could cause equipment malfunction and resulting serious
bodily injury.
When flushing the pump with solvents, ALWAYS hold a metal part of the dispensing valve firmly to the
side of a grounded metal pail and operate pump at the lowest possible fluid pressure to reduce the risk of
injury from splashing or static sparking.

WARNING: This pump can develop 7500 PSI working pressure at 125 PSI maximum incoming air
pressure. Be sure that all system equipment and accessories are rated to withstand the maximum working
pressure of this pump. NEVER exceed the maximum working pressure of the lowest rated component in the
system. IMPORTANT: “Whip” hoses for dispensing valve are fluid pressure rated at 4500 PSI. NEVER
exceed 90 PSI, air pressure to pump when using “whip” hoses.

WARNING: Water and even moist air can cause this pump to corrode. To aid in the prevention of this
corrosion, NEVER leave the pump filled with water or air. After normal flushing, flush the pump once more
with mineral spirits or an oil based solvent, relieve pressure and leave the mineral sp irits in the pump. It is
strongly suggested to put 2-4 fl oz of Lubricating Oil in the Air Motor Inlet every week for Proper
Lubrication. Never use a Synthetic Oil as this will cause irreparable damage to the pump. BE SURE

TO CORRECTLY FOLLOW THE PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE.

PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE

ALWAYS FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE to reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including splashing
into the eyes. After shutting off the pump; checking/servicing any part of the system; installing/cleaning or
changing any part of the system, ALWAYS follow this procedure:

1. Disconnect the air supply to the pump.

2. Aim the dispensing valve away from yourself and others.

3. Aim the dispensing valve into an appropriate container and open until all pressure is relieved.

If you believe that the dispensing valve or hose is completely clogged or that pressure in the pump has not
been fully relieved after following the above procedure, VERY SLOWLY loosen the hose end coupling to
relieve the pressure gradually and then loosen completely. Then proceed to clear the valve or hose.

WARNING: ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Procedure after shutting off the pump.
WARNING: ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when checking/servicing any part of the

system and when installing, cleaning or changing any part of the system.

INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS

If you believe that you have overpressurized the equipment, or if your equipment requires adjustments or
repair, contact ATD’s service center at 1-800-328-2897 for inspection of the pump.

LUBRICATION: It is recommended to lubricate the Air Motor once a week with 2-4fl oz of Common Lubricating

Motor Oil injected into the Airlet port of the Air Motor. This will ensure maximum life of the Air Motor. Never use a Synthetic
Oil to Lubricate the Air Motor and this will swell the Buna-N rubber packings and cause irreparable damage.

INSTALLATION

It is recommended that you use an air line filter/regulator/lubricator to remove harmful dirt

and moisture from the compressed air supply and to provide automatic lubrication to the air motor. Blow­dry the lines and hoses with air before connecting them to the system.
