WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
Fluid from the dispense valve, leaks, or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause
extremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashed in the eyes or on the skin
can also cause serious injury.
D Fluid injected into the skin is a serious injury. The injury may look like just a cut, but it is a serious
injury. Get immediate surgical treatment.
D Do not point the dispense valve at anyone or at any part of the body.
D Do not put your hand or fingers over the dispensing nozzle.
D Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.
D Do not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.
D Always have the dispensing nozzle on the dispense valve when dispensing.
D Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 8 if the tip clogs and before cleaning, checking or
servicing the equipment.
D Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
D Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Do not
repair high pressure couplings; you must replace the entire hose.
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 checking or servicing the equipment, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 8 to
prevent the equipment from starting unexpectedly.
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 lubricated. Refer to Grounding on page 4.
D If there is any static sparking or you feel an electric shock while using this equipment, stop dis-
pensing 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 dispensed.
D Keep the dispensing area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
D Do not smoke in the dispensing 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.

D Dispensing valve: Ground through connection to a
properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
D Object being dispensed to: Follow your local code.
D Solvent pails used when flushing: Follow your local
code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive,
placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the
pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or
cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity.
D To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure, hold a metal part of the dispens-
ing valve firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail,
then trigger the dispense valve.

it with the screws and washers provided. Carefully
guide the pump riser tube through the mounting
gasket.
1. Install the 3/8” swivel adapter (102) in the pump air
inlet or air regulator line coupler (d) whichever is
applicable. Connect the 3/8” ID air hose (101) to
the swivel. Connect the air hose to the air accessories.
2. Connect the 1/4” swivel adapter (104) to the pump

a bracket on which to mount accessories.
D Install a pump runaway valve (G) to shut off the air
to the pump if the pump accelerates beyond the
pre-adjusted setting. A pump that runs too fast can
be seriously damaged.
D Install an air line lubricator (F) for automatic air
motor lubrication.
D Install the air regulator (C) to control pump speed
and pressure.
D On the main air supply line from the compressor,
install an air line filter (E) to remove harmful dirt and
contaminants from your compressed air supply.

Pressure Relief Procedure
Operation
WARNING
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of serious injury, including fluid injection or splashing in the
eyes or on the skin, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you
D Are instructed to relieve the pressure
D Shut off the pump
D Check or service any of the system equipment
D Install or clean the grease fitting couplers
D Stop dispensing
1. Close the pump air regulator.
2. Hold a metal part of the dispense valve firmly to a
grounded metal waste container and trigger to
relieve the fluid pressure.
Start-up
1. Close the air regulators and bleed-type master air
valves to all but one pump.
2. Open the master air valve from the compressor.
3. For the pump that is connected, trigger the dispensing valve into a grounded metal waste container making firm metal-to-metal contact between
the container and valve. Open the bleed-type
master air valve, and open the pump air regulator
slowly, just until the pump is running. When the
pump is primed and all air has been pushed out of
the lines, release the trigger.
The maximum working pressure of each pump in
your system may not be the same. To reduce the
risk of over-pressurizing any part of your system,
be sure you know the maximum working pressure
rating of each pump and its connected components. Never exceed the maximum working pressure of the lowest rated component connected to a
particular pump.
To determine the fluid output pressure using the air
regulator reading, multiply the ratio of the pump by
the air pressure shown on the regulator gauge. For
example:
50:(1) ratio x 100 psi air = 5000 psi fluid output
50:(1) ratio x 0.7 MPa air = 35 MPa fluid output
50:(1) ratio x 7 bar air = 350 bar fluid output
Limit the air to the pump so that no air line or fluid
line component or accessory is over-pressurized.
CAUTION
Never allow the pump to run dry of the fluid being
pumped. A dry pump will quickly 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 container is empty and air has been pumped into the
lines, prime the pump and lines with fluid, or flush it
and leave it filled with a compatible solvent. Be sure
to eliminate all air from the fluid system.
4. If you have more than one pump, repeat this
process for each pump.
Note: When the pump is primed, and with sufficient air supplied, the pump starts when the dispensing valve is opened and shuts off when
closed.
5. Set the air pressure to each pump at the lowest
pressure needed to get the desired results.
8307880
Note: A pump runaway valve can be installed on the
air line to automatically shut off the pump if it starts to
run too fast.
6. Read and follow the instructions supplied with
each component in your system.
7. To shut off the system, always follow the Pressure
Relief Procedure at left.
