defects or other reproductive harm.
PROP 65 WARNING
WARNING: This product
contains chemicals known
to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents
- for example: 1,1,1, - trichloroethane and methylene chloride - can
chemically react with aluminum
parts and components and cause
an explosion hazard. These solvents
will also corrode the galvanized
tank coating. Read the label or data
sheet for the material. Do not use
materials containing these solvents
with these pressure tanks.
Refer to specifications chart to ensure that fluids and solvents being
used are chemically compatible
with the tank wetted parts. Before
placing fluids or solvents in tank,
always read accompanying manufacturer’s literature.
EN
Static electricity is created by the
flow of fluid through the pressure
tank and hose. If all parts are not
properly grounded, sparking may
occur. Sparks can ignite vapors
from solvents and the fluid being
sprayed.
If static sparking, or slight shock, is
experienced while using this equipment, stop spraying immediately.
Ground the pressure tank by connecting one end of a 12 gauge minimum
ground wire to the pressure tank and
the other end to a true earth ground.
Local codes may have additional
grounding requirements.
See illustration, page 4, for grounding
and grounding hardware required.
DESCRIPTION
The 83C pressure tanks are designed as a
pressure container to supply liquid material at a constant preset pressure up to a
maximum of 80 PSI. All models include a
polyethylene liner. 83C tanks are for light to
medium duty use.
Models:
83C-210: Single regulation (fluid), air inlet/
outlet, fluid outlet, safety valve
83C-220: Dual regulation (air and fluid),
otherwise same as 83C-210
83C-211: Single regulation (fluid), air driven
agitator assembly, fluid outlet, safety valve
83C-221: Dual regulation (air and fluid),
otherwise same as 83C-211
Air pressure loads that are higher
than design loads, or changes to the
pressure feed tank can cause the
tank to rupture or explode.
• A safety valve protects the tank
from over pressurization. During
each use pull the ring on the safety
valve to make sure it operates freely
and relieves air pressure. If the valve
is stuck, does not operate freely,
or does not relieve air pressure, it
must be replaced. Do not eliminate,
make adjustments or substitutions
to this valve.
• Changes to the air tank will weaken
it. Never drill into, weld or change
the tank in any way.
• The maximum working pressure
of this tank is 80 psi.
Pressure Relief Procedure
High pressure can cause a serious
injury. Pressure is maintained in
a pressure tank after the system
has been shut down. Before attempting removal of fill plug or
cover, pressure must be relieved
using the following steps:
1. Turn off the main air supply
to the tank.
2. Shut off regulator or remove
air supply line from tank.
3. Bleed off air in the tank by
turning the air relief valve thumb
screw counterclockwise. Wait until all the air has escaped through
the valve before removing the
pressure tank cover or fill plug.
4. Leave the air relief valve open
until you have reinstalled the
cover or fill plug.

SPECIFICATIONS
Tank Size: 2.8 gal.
Height: 9-9/16", (10-1/2" to top of lid)
Maximum Working Pressure (MWP): 80 psi
Air Motor Consumption: 3-6 CFM at 60 psi
Maximum Agitator Air Inlet Pressure: 100 psi
Air Inlet Size: 1/4" NPS (M)
Fluid Outlet Size: 3/8" NPS (M)
Tank Net Weight:
83C-210 28-1/4 lbs.

83C-211 32-3/4 lbs.
83C-221 34-1/4 lbs.
The agitator utilizes an air driven motor to
turn the agitator shaft to which a propeller
is attached. The rotation of the propeller
mixes materials which have a tendency to
separate or settle quickly. Material agitation
may be performed at the same time material is being sprayed without any adverse
effect. The air motor is powerful and smooth
running. An air adjusting valve is included
to control the speed of the agitator. The
air motor requires low air consumption,
approximately 3-6 C.F.M. at 60 P.S.l. (Max.
input air pressure 100 P.S.l.)
INSTALLATION
Mix and prepare material to be used according to manufacturer’s instructions. Strain
material through a fine mesh screen (60
or 90 mesh) to remove all foreign matter
which is likely to enter and clog material
passages.
1. AIways relieve all air pressure in the
tank. Turn thumbscrew on air pressure
relief valve. Wait until pressure bleeds
down.
2. Loosen thumb screws, tip lid clamps
back and remove lid assembly.
3. Pour material into the tank. See accessories for strainers and disposable
tank liners. A one gallon container
may also be used by cutting 3/16" off
end of fluid tube at an angle.
4. Replace the lid assembly and tighten
clamps and thumb screws securely.
5. If possible, the air supply line should
pass through an air filter/regulator
to filter dirt from air and remove entrained water and oil. See Accessories
for filters available. Connect the air
supply hose to the air inlet fitting on
tank regulator.
6. Connect the atomization air hose to
the air outlet fitting which is directly
opposite air inlet fitting.
7. Connect material hose to the fluid outlet
fitting.
8. See Figure 1 for a typical hookup.

OPERATION
1. Turn on the air supply.
2. Turn T-Handle adjusting screw clockwise on the tank regulator to increase
material pressure: turn it counter clockwise to decrease pressure. Maximum
tank pressure is 80 PSI.
3. For tank with air motor agitator, turn
the knob of the air adjusting valve (8)
counterclockwise to set the desired
agitator speed. Operate the agitator at
the minimum speed required to keep
the material thoroughly mixed. Do not
over-agitate the material. Air bubbles
may form in the material, causing a
poor finish.
4. Atomization air for the spray gun can be
adjusted at the gun by means of an air
adjusting valve or, with the additional
air regulator provided with “dual regulation” tank models (83C-220 or 83C-221).
5. See Spray Gun instructions for operation of the gun.
If using an air quick disconnect
(Q.D.) at the inlet to the regulator
at the pressure tank, do not disconnect the Q.D. while the tank is pressurized. Doing so will allow tank
pressure to quickly relieve, and can
potentially pull paint back through
the air regulator and air motor,
depending upon the liquid level
in the tank. Tank pressure should
always be relieved by turning the
regulator fully counterclockwise
or turning thumb screw on air
relief valve.
REPLACEMENT OF PARTS
(Air Motor Assembly, See Page 5)
Do not pry front plate (40) or end plate (46)
from air motor body (43) with a screwdriver;
this will dent the surface of the plates and
body causing leaks. A puller tool should be
used to remove the plate from the motor
body while maintaining the position of the
shaft. Holes must be drilled for dowel pins
(42) after assembling front plate (40) on new
body (43) for alignment of parts. Always
install new end plate gaskets (41) when
reassembling air motor.

Note: Occasionally check gauge (9). The needle should return to zero with no pressure on the gauge.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
To Clean Equipment:
1. If tank is equipped with agitator, turn
off air to agitator first. This will prevent
the possibility of paint contamination
of the agitator air motor.
2. Turn off the main air supply to the tank.
3. Turn T-handle adjusting screw on tank
regulator counterclockwise until no
spring tension is felt.
4. Turn thumbscrew on air relief valve.
Wait until pressure bleeds down.
5. Loosen thumb screws, tip clamps back
and tip tank lid to one side.
6. Loosen spray gun air cap retaining ring
about three turns.
7. Turn on the air supply to spray gun.
8. Place cloth over air cap on the gun and
pull trigger. This will force material back
through the hose, into the tank. Binks
Solvent Saver 83GZ-5200 can be used
to clean hoses and gun fluid passage.
9. Empty and clean tank and parts which
come in contact with material. Use a
suitable cleaning material.
10. Pour cleaning material into the tank.
11. Replace lid and tighten thumb screws
and clamps.
12. Spray until clean solution appears.
13. Repeat steps 5 through 8.
Air Motor Assembly
Failure to properly lubricate the air
motor will result in premature motor failure and will void warranty.
Lubricate air motor daily by adding
4 or 5 drops of SAE 10 weight oil
into air inlet fitting.
CIean the agitator shaft (54, Pg. 5) and the
propeller (56) at the end of each day. Occasionally remove and clean the muffler
strainer felt (60) or replace, if necessary.
Keep the safety valve clean at all times.
