Installation
B
Note: Choose a location with sufficient overhead
clearance, and adequate clearance for plumbing when
unit is being raised or lowered.
Note: Numbers and letters in parenthesis refer to
callouts in the Figures and Parts Drawing.
Assemble the Elevator to the Base
(See Fig. 1)
Note: All necessary nuts, screws, and washers are
provided with Base Assy. 204740.
1. Set three flat washers (B) in place over the mounting holes in the base.
2. Position the elevator on the washers (B).
Assemble the Pump to the Elevator
(See Fig. 2)
1. Remove the elevator clamp (34) from the elevator
bracket (33).
2. Center the pump and inductor plate (8) on the
base (H), straddling the elevator tube (F).
3. Tighten the screws (19) securing the clamp (34) to
the bracket (33). See the Parts Drawing on
page 6.
4. Place the unit in the desired location, and use
metal shims to to level the base, if necessary.
5. Anchor the unit to the floor using the mounting
holes (G) in the base. See Fig 1.
Connect the Hoses
1. Connect the 1/4 npt(m) end of the fluid hose (27)
between the outlet of the pump and the permanent
supply line.
3. Place three flat washers (B) over the holes in the
elevator base casting.
4. Fasten securely with three screws (A),
lockwashers (C) and nuts (D).

Operation
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury, always disconnect air and relieve pressure in lines before attempting any service.
1. Open the vent inductor plate (8) by turning the
knob (37) counterclockwise. See Fig. 2.
Changing the Drums
1. Disconnect the air line coupler (4) from the
pump.
2. Open the inductor plate vent, and connect the
coupler to the elevator to raise the unit.
Note: For steps 2–8, see the parts drawing on
page 6.
2. With the air supply turned on, connect the airline
coupler (4) to the fitting on top of the elevator
tube. Elevator speed may be regulated by turning
the adjusting screw clockwise to decrease, and
counterclockwise to increase elevator speed.
3. Center an opened drum of material under the
inductor plate (8) so that the drum bottom touches
the elevator base casting. The top surface of the
material should be made concave by scooping
material from the center to the sides of the container.
4. Disconnect the air line coupler (4) and guide the
inductor plate (8) into the drum. Press down on the
pump and rock or jiggle it back and forth to seat
the inductor plate and get rid of any trapped air,
and continue action until material appears at the
vent opening. Slide the plastic cover (9) down onto
the drum.
5. Close the inductor plate vent, and open the bleeder valve (25*) by turning the thumbscrew counterclockwise.
6. Start the pump by connecting the air line
coupler (4) to the pump inlet fitting.
Note: If the empty drum rises with the unit, pull the
front of the drum down and forward to break it loose
from the inductor plate.
3. Remove the empty drum from the base, and install
a full drum as explained at left.
Removing the Pump for Service
Unscrew the locking nut (40) (taking note of the
number of turns). Disconnect hoses and pump from
the mounting and remove.
When attaching the pump, turn the locking
nut (40) the same number of turns as when disassembling, or a slight distance further. Check for 1/8”
(3 mm) clearance. See Fig. 3.
Note: For pump and elevator operation,
troubleshooting, and service instructions, see the
separate manuals.

40
7. Let the pump run until material appears at the
bleeder valve.
8. Disconnect the air line coupler (4) and close the
bleeder valve. The unit is now ready for operation.
Note: When supplied with sufficient air pressure, the
pump is remotely controlled at the dispensing valve.
The pump starts and stops as the dispensing valve is
opened or closed.
Note: For overnight or holiday shutdown, disconnect
the air line coupler (4) and relieve the pressure in the
lines.
