WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open flames or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and
result in a fire or explosion and serious injury.
D Ground the equipment and the object being sprayed. Refer to Grounding in your separate pump
manual.
D If there is any static sparking or you feel an electric shock while using this equipment, stop spray-
ing immediately. Do not use the equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
D Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvents or the fluid
being sprayed.
D Keep the spray area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
D Electrically disconnect all equipment in the spray area.
D Extinguish all open flames or pilot lights in the spray area.
D Do not smoke in the spray area.
D Do not turn on or off any light switch in the spray area while operating or if fumes are present.
D Do not operate a gasoline engine in the spray area.
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the skin,
inhaled, or swallowed.
D Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using.
D Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of hazardous fluid according to all local,
state and national guidelines.
D Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and
solvent manufacturer.
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Moving parts can pinch or amputate your fingers.
D Keep clear of all moving parts when starting or operating the pump.
D Before servicing the equipment, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 4 to prevent the
equipment from starting unexpectedly.

Pressure Relief Procedure
WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
The system pressure must be manually relieved to
prevent the system from starting or spraying accidentally. To reduce the risk of an injury from accidental spray from the gun, splashing fluid, or
moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Proce-dure whenever you:
D are instructed to relieve the pressure,
D stop spraying,
D check or service any of the system equipment,
D or install or clean the spray nozzle.
1. Shut off the air or hydraulic power supply to the
pump.
2. Close the bleed-type master air valve (required in
air-powered systems).
1. If you are pumping heavy viscosity fluid anderratic pump operation develops, disassemble
the pump as explained on page 5. To increasethe ball travel in the intake valve, move the pin (18)
to the center or upper set of holes. To increase theball travel in the piston valve, place the piston in a
vise, loosen the upper cap (27) to relieve tension
on the plunger rod (23), and turn the plunger rod
counterclockwise two complete turns beyond its
factory-set position, or enough to set the total ball
travel to 0.306 in. (7.8 mm).
2. If you are pumping lighter viscosity fluid andsurging develops, disassemble the pump as
explained on page 5. To decrease the ball travelin the intake valve, place the pin (18) in the lowest
set of holes. To decrease the ball travel in thepiston valve, place the piston in a vise, loosen the
upper cap (27) to relieve tension on the plunger
rod (23), and turn the plunger rod clockwise two
complete turns beyond its factory-set position, or
enough to set the total ball travel to 0.102 in. (2.6
mm).
27
3. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a
grounded metal pail, and trigger the gun to relieve
pressure.
4. Open the drain valve (required in your system),
having a container ready to catch the drainage.
5. Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to
spray again.
If you suspect that the spray nozzle or hose is completely clogged, or that pressure has not been fully
relieved after following the steps above, very slowly
loosen the nozzle retaining ring or hose end coupling
and relieve pressure gradually, then loosen completely.
Now clear the nozzle or hose.
Piston and Intake Valve Adjustment
See Fig. 1. The fluid piston and intake check valves
are factory-set for pumping medium viscosity fluids.
The ball stop pin (18) in the intake valve is in the
lowest set of holes. The piston ball travel is set at
0.204 in. (5.2 mm), measured from the end of the
adjustable plunger rod (23) to the top of the ball (22).
This distance represents four complete turns of the rod
(23) from the top of the ball.
