Use Only With Compressed Air
This valve is for useonfywithcompressedair. It is not designed
for use with any other power source. NEVER use any other gas
or fluid in the runaway valve.
General Safety

NEVER alter or modify any part of the runaway valve; doing so
could cause it to malfunction.
CHECK all equipment regularly and repair or replace worn or
damaged parts immediately.

IMPORTANT
United States Government safety standards have been adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. These standards -
particularly the General Standards, Pati1910, and the Construction Standards, Part 1926 - should be consulted.
INSTALLATION
Reference letters and numbers in the text refer to Figs 1
and 2 and the Parts Drawing on page 7.
Install an air filter (A) to remove harmful dirt and moisture
from the compressed air supply. Install a main air shutoff
valve (6) to isolate the runaway valve for servicing. If you
supply your own accessories, be sure they are adequately sized and pressure-rated to meet the system’s
requirements.
The Typical Installations shown on page 3 are only examples Contact your Grace representative or Grace
Technical Assistance (see back page) for assistance in
designing a system to meet your particular needs.
install one runaway valve for each pump; the valve will
control only one pump.
WARNING
A bleed-type master air valve (C) is required in
your system. The bleed-type master air valve re-
lieves air trapped between this valve and the pump
after the air is shut off. Trapped air can cause the
pump to cycle unexpectedly. Locate the valve
close to the pump.

Installing the Runaway Valve on King’“, Bulldoge,
and Senatore Motors
Detail Aof Fig 1 shows the runaway valve (D) used with a
Bulldoge air motor, mounted on a cart. Mounting on a
wall bracket is done the same way. Install the runaway
valve between the air manifold (E) and the air regulator
(F), using necessary adapters. Use the 90” swivel
adapter (G, supplied) to connect the runaway valve outlet to the air regulator inlet.
lnstalltng the Runaway Valve on Presidente Motors
Details B and C of Fig 1 show the runaway valve (D)
used with a Presidente air motor, mounted on a wall and
on a cart. Install the runaway valve between the air regu-
lator (F) and the bleed-type master air valve (C), using
necessary adapters. Use the 90” swivel adapter (G,
supplied) to connect the runaway valve outlet to the
bleed valve inlet.
Signal Port (See Fig 2)
When the runaway valve trips, the signal port (S) is pres-
surized. This air pressure will operate a pilot-operated
valve to turn on a remote device such as a signal lamp or
alarm. The pressure at this port will be 15% less than the
inbound air pressure. The volume ofairpassing through
the port will be low.
When no remote sensor is being used, this port is
plugged with a screw (3).

CAUSES
Pump runaway refers to a rapid acceleration in pump
speed, which can result in serious damage to the pump
parts caused by overheating and scoring. Conditions
which can cause pump runaway are:
The fluid supply container is empty, or the fluid supply
has been interrupted.
The pump is cavitating, which means that it has lost its
prime because an air pocket has formed around the
pump intake. This happens most frequently with highly viscous fluids.
Afluid hose downstream from the pump has ruptured,
resulting in an increased pump cycle rate.
NOTE:
When in a runaway condition, the pump requires much
more air than during normal operation. The runaway
valve senses this rapid increase in the volume of air being .used and greatly reduces the air flow, slowing the
pump to a crawl.

DISASSEMBLY (See the Parts Drawing on page 7)
NOTE: Reoair Kit 224-937 is available to service the dia-
phiagm and o-rings. For best results, use all
parts in the kit. Parts included in the kit are
marked with an asterisk (for example, 4*).
l. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure Warning in
your separate pump manual. Shut off the main air
valve. Tighten the locknut (24) to lock the valve at its
current adjustment. Remove the runaway valve
from the air line.
2. Place the valve in a vise with the T-handle (2) facing
left and the poppet valve cap (25) facing upward.
Unscrew the adapter (34) from the valve outlet.
3. Using an adjustable wrench on the flats, unscrew
the stem guide (17) from the lower housing (22).
The adjustment screw (21) will come free with the
stem guide and connecting parts.
4. Reach into the valve outlet and push out the piston
(16). Remove the o-rings (6,36) from the piston.
NOTE: The TEST valve assembly is also press-fit lo-
gether. Do not disassemble it unless it is leaking
and the parts require replacement.
12. Clean all parts and inspect for damage. Se sure to
clean all air passages, cavities, and surfaces.
REASSEMBLY (See the Parts Drawing on page 7)
1.
Place the upper housing (23) in a vise. Install the RESET valve In the upper housing. Tighten the valve
housing (19) to secure.
2.
Install the diaphragm (27’) in the lower housing (22)
so the larger center plate of the diaphragm is facing
outward. Align the four large holes in the diaphragm
with the four threaded holes in the housing.
3.
Lubricate the dowel pin (6). Working from the inside
of the upper housing (23), insert the pin (6) into the
small center hole. Push the pin all the way in, so it is
flush with the surface of the housing.
4.
Place the lower housing (22) in a vise. Position the
upper housing (23) so the boss (marked RESET) is
oriented as shown, and the four holes are aligned
with the holes in the diaphragm (27) and lower
housing (22). Assemble the two housings using the
four screws (9) and lockwashers (I). Using a 10 mm
socket wrench, torque to 50-70 in-lb (5.6-7.9 N.m).
5.
Lubricate the o-ring (4*) and install it on the push pin
(15). Install the valve poppet (14,) on the barbed
end of the push pin. Insert these parts into the cen-
ter hole of the upper housing (23), with the poppet
(14) facing outward.
5. Insert a brass rod into the valve outlet so it contacts
the valve body (16). Tap the rod with a mallet to unseat the valve body. (This can also be done with a
press.) Push the valve body out of the housing (22).
6.
Remove the o-rings (5, 7) from the valve body (16).
Remove the gasket (13) from ih& housing (22).
7.
Using an 1 l/16” socket wrench, loosen but do not
remove the cap (25) from the upper housing (23).
a.
Using a IO mm socket wrench, remove the four
screws (9) .and lo&washers (I). Pull the upper
housing (23) away from the lower housing (22). Re-
move the diaphragm (27).
9.
Unscrew the cap (25) from the upper housing (23).
Remove the gasket (IO) from the cap. Remove the
poppet valve spring (1 I). Push down on the poppet
so the dowel pin (6) protrudes from the hole on the
inside of the housing (23).
10,
Remove the poppet (14), push pin (15), and o-ring
(1) from the upper housing (23). Working on the inside of the housing (23), grasp the dowel pin (6) with
a needle-nose pliers and pull it.out of the housing.
11.
Unscrew the valire housing (19) and pull the RESET
valve assembly out of the upper housing (23).
6.
Install the spring (Ii*) in the upper housing (23) and
seat it on the poppet (14). Install the gasket (IO*) on
the spring retainer cap (25). Apply thread sealant to
the threads of the retainer cap. Screw the cap into
the housing using an 11/16” socket wrench, and
torque to 50-70 in-lb (5.6-7.9 N.m).
7.
Install the gasket (13*) into the lower housing (22),
making sure it seats on the inside shoulder.
a.
Lubricate the two o-rings (5*, 7*). Install the larger
o-ring (5*) in the outside groove of the valve body
(I@, and the smaller o-ring (7*) in the inside groove.
Slide the valve body into the lower housing (22),
with the end holding the o-rings facing intd the
housing. Use a brass rod and mallet (or a press) to
seat the valve body securely in the housing.
9.
Install the two o-rings (6*, 36’) in the grooves of the
piston (16). Slide the piston into the valve body (16),
with the narrow end facing inward. Push the piston
into the valve body as far as it will go.
10. Turn the adjustment screw (21) all the way counterclockwise, then install it and the stem guide (17) in
the lower housing (22). Use a 1” crow’s-foot to
torque the guide to 20-30 R-lb (27-41 N.m). so its
shoulder is flush with the surface of the housing.
NOTE: The RESET valve assembly is press-fit together.
Do not disassemble it unless the needle (20) or
valve housing (19) require replacement.
