This manual is for the express and sole use of EFD dispenser purchasers and users, and no portion of this manual may be reproduced in any form.

First: Unpack and use the checklist enclosed with the Dispenser Kit to identify all items. If there is any discrepancy, please call us immediately.

Second: Power and compressed plant air should be available where the dispenser is to be set up. Air pressure should be between 80 and 100 psi (5.5 and 6.9 bar). If you are not using an EFD fivemicron filter regulator #2000F755, be certain

your plant air is properly filtered and dry and a regulated, constant air pressure is supplied to the dispenser.

Note: Model 900-CA is supplied with an EFD fivemicron filter regulator with coalescing filter (#2000F756).

Bottled nitrogen can be used. Warning: If high pressure bottled air or nitrogen is

used, a high pressure regulator must be installed on the bottle and set at 100 psi maximum. The 2000F755 filter regulator is not recommended.

Check the voltage label to be certain it is set to the available power.

Third: Now is a good time to ACTIVATE your extended Two Year Limited Warranty. Please fill in and return the postage paid Warranty card. Or if you prefer, call the appropriate toll-free number listed below, provide the serial number of your dispenser and respond to a few short questions. You are then assured of complete protection for two years.

Hookup

❶ Connect the air input hose to a plant air source. Set plant air

supply within 80 to 100 psi (5.5 to 6.9 bar). Where required, use an EFD five-micron filter regulator #2000F755 (see Warranty).

❷ Attach the air input hose coupling to the dispenser. Pull back

metal ring to attach to dispenser.

❸ Plug in the polarized foot pedal connector. ❹ Check the voltage label on the input voltage selector cartridge.

To change the voltage, remove the voltage selector from the cartridge, rotate it and position the correct voltage to show through the cartridge window. Replace the cartridge into the power cord receptacle and insure that both sides snap securely into position. Install the power cord.

Note: For 900-15 and 900-CA dispensers, use the test barrel filled with clear fluid and the red 25 gage tip. Refer to “Making Timed Deposits of Watery-thin Fluids” on page 10.

❺ Attach the 10cc barrel pre-filled with blue, nontoxic test fluid

(included with the dispenser) to the 10cc adapter head.
