Grounding
WARNING
This pump must be grounded. The steps for
grounding may differ from the way you ground
other pumps. Carefully read and follow these
grounding instructions. See FIRE AND EXPLO-SION HAZARD on page 5 before you operate the
pump.
Static electricity is created by the high-velocity flow of
fluid through the pump and hose. If every part of the
equipment is not properly grounded, sparking may occur. To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the
pump and all other equipment used or located in the
pumping area. Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding instructions for your area and type of
equipment. Ground all of the following equipment:
D Pump: use a ground wire and clamp as shown in
Fig. 2.
D Fluid and air hoses: use only grounded hoses with
a maximum of 500 feet (150 m) combined hose
length to ensure grounding continuity.
D Air Compressor: Follow the manufacturer’s recom-
mendations.
D Spray gun or dispensing valve: Obtain grounding
through connection to a properly grounded fluid
hose and pump.
D Fluid supply container: Follow the local code.
D Object being sprayed: Follow the local code.
D All solvent pails used when flushing: Follow the
local code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive. Do not place the pail on a non-conductive
surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity.
To ground the pump: Loosen the grounding lug locknut (W) and washer (X). Insert one end of a 12 ga (1.5
mm@) minimum ground wire (Y) into the slot (Z) of the
grounding lug, and tighten the locknut securely. Connect the clamp end of the ground wire to a true earth
ground. To order a ground wire and clamp, order Part
No. 222011.

WARNING
A fluid drain valve (E) is required in your system to
relieve pressure in the fluid outlet hose (H) if the
hose becomes plugged. See Fig. 3. Install a drain
valve close to the pump’s fluid outlet. The drain
valve reduces the risk of property damage or
serious bodily injury, including splashing in the eyes
or on the skin, or contamination from hazardous
fluids.
3. Install a control device, such as a gun, dispensing
valve, or shutoff valve, on the grounded fluid
hose (H).
Connect the Fluid Suction Line
CAUTION
The pump must be suction fed in order to operate
properly. Pressure feeding or exceeding 15 psi (104
kPa, 1.04 bar) maximum fluid inlet pressure may
cause premature bellows seal failure.
Connect the fluid suction hose (S) to the pump fluid
inlet (M). See Fig. 4.
D The pump fluid inlet (M) is 1.25 npt(f).
D The maximum suction lift is 15 ft (4.57m) for the
400 Series and 1200 Series Pumps, and 6 ft (1.83

4. Install a pump runaway valve (T) to sense when
the pump is running too fast and shut off the air
supply to the motor. To order a pump runaway
valve, order Part No. 224040.
5. Install an air regulator (D) to control air inlet pressure.
WARNING
A bleed-type master air valve (C) is required in
your system to relieve air trapped between this
valve and the pump after the air regulator is closed.
Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly, which could result in serious bodily injury,
including splashing in the eyes, injury from moving
parts, or contamination from hazardous fluids.
6. Install one bleed-type master air valve (C) downstream from the air regulator and use it to relieve
trapped air. Locate the other master air valve upstream from all air line accessories and use it to
isolate the accessories during cleaning and repair.
7. Install an air line filter (A) to remove harmful dirt
and moisture from your compressed air supply.
8. Install a grounded air supply line (P) with a minimum 1/2 in. ID. See Fig. 4.
Ventilate the Air Exhaust
WARNING
Improper handling of hazardous fluids or inhaling
their vapors can cause serious bodily injury, even
death. For your safety, it is imperative that you read
all product warning labels and Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) for the fluids you are using. An
MSDS can be obtained from your fluid suppliers. It
is also important that you read and understand the
warnings and precautions regarding HAZARDOUSFLUID HAZARD on page 5 before you operate.

relieve the fluid pressure.
5. * Engage the safety latch again.
6. Open the pump drain valve (required in system),
and have a container ready to catch the drainage.
7. Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to
spray again.
*Applies only when using a spray gun or dispensing
valve.
Start and Adjust the Pump
NOTE: Check all fittings to be sure they are tight. Be
sure to use a thread sealant compatible with the fluid
being pumped on all male pipe threads.
1. Place the suction hose (S) in the fluid to be
pumped. See Fig. 5.
2. Close the fluid drain valve (E).
3. With the air regulator (D) closed, open both bleedtype master air valves (C).
4. Open the fluid control device while continuing with
the following steps.
5. Slowly open the air regulator (D). Adjust it until the
pump runs smoothly.
6. Allow the pump to cycle slowly until all air is
pushed out of the lines (the fluid will be flowing in a
steady stream from the fluid outlet) and the pump
is primed.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of component rupture, which
could cause serious bodily injury, never exceed
100 psi (0.7 MPa, 7 bar) air supply pressure to the
pump. Read the warning section EQUIPMENTMISUSE HAZARD on page 4.
If you suspect that the spray tip, nozzle, or hose is
clogged or that pressure has not been fully relieved
after following the steps above, very slowly loosen the
hose end coupling and relieve pressure gradually, then
loosen completely, then clear the tip, nozzle, or hose
obstruction.
Flush the Pump Before First Use
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fluid injection injury, static
sparking and splashing, read and follow FlushingSafety under FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD on
page 5.
The pump was tested with lightweight oil, which is left
in to protect the pump parts. If this solution could contaminate the fluid you are pumping, flush it thoroughly
with a compatible solvent. To start the pump, follow the
procedure in Start and Adjust the Pump, below.

7. If you are flushing:
a. Run the pump long enough to thoroughly clean
the pump and hoses.
b. Close the fluid control device and air regulator
(D).
c. Remove the suction hose (S) from the solvent
and place it in the fluid to be pumped.
8. If you are going to use the pump:
a. Start the pump. Be sure the suction hose is in
the supply container.
b. If you are using this pump to spray fluid, re-
lieve the pressure, then install a spray tip in
the gun. Trigger the gun into a grounded metal
waste container to prime the hose. Adjust the
pump pressure just enough to completely atomize the fluid. Higher pressures cause premature spray tip and pump wear.
WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
To reduce the risk of a serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, follow the Pres-sure Relief Procedure on page 10.
c. In a direct supply system, the pump will start
and stop as the spray gun, dispensing valve,
or fluid outlet valve is opened and closed.
d. In a circulating system, the pump runs continu-
ously and speeds up or slows down as supply
demands until the air supply is shut off.
CAUTION
Never allow the pump to run dry of fluid. A dry pump
will accelerate to a high speed, possibly damaging
itself. If your pump accelerates quickly, or is running
too fast, stop it immediately and check the fluid
supply. If the supply is empty and air has been
pumped into the lines, refill the container and prime
the pump and lines with fluid, or flush and leave filled
with compatible solvent. Be sure to eliminate all air
from the system. A Pump Runaway Valve, Part No.
224040, is available.
9. If you are shutting down the pump:
a. Flush the pump before shutting down, espe-
cially if pumping a material that will set up.
b. Remove the suction hose from the fluid con-
tainer and run the pump until the fluid is forced
out of the system, then shut off the air supply
immediately.
c. Relieve the pressure.
