Installation

Pressure Relief Procedure

Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you see this symbol.

1. Turn off the power supply to the pump or close the fluid shut off valve (B).

2. Open the nozzle. Authorize and activate a dispense. Trigger the metered dispense valve into a waste container to relieve pressure.

3. Open any bleed-type master air valves and fluid drain valves in the system.

4. Leave the drain valve open until ready to pressurize the system.

Grounding

Follow manufacturer’s recommendations to ground the pump and fluid supply container.

Ground the hose and reel or console. Leave at least two threads bare when using PTFE tape. The bare threads ensure a ground is maintained.

To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or relieving pressure: hold a metal

part of the metered dispense valve firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger the metered dispense valve.

Hoses: Only use electrically conductive hoses. Check electrical resistance of hoses. If total resistance to ground exceeds 29 megohms, replace the hose immediately.

Pre-Installation Procedure

1. See Relieve pressure, page 10.

2. Close fluid shut-off valve (B, FIG. 4, page

9).

3. Ground the hose and reel or console (see Grounding, page 10).

4. Flush equipment. See Flushing, page

11.

This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from pressurized fluid, such as skin injection, splashing fluid and moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop dispensing and before cleaning, checking, or servicing the equipment.

The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire for the electric current.

FIRE HAZARD

Conductive metal surfaces on the metered dispense valve must not make contact with any positively charged metal surface, including (but not limited to), the starter solenoid terminal, alternator terminal or battery terminal. Such contact could cause electrical arcing and a fire.

NOTICE

• If this is a new installation or if the fluid

lines are contaminated, flush the lines before installing the metered dispense valve. Contaminated lines could cause the metered dispense valve to leak.

• Never dispense compressed air with

metered dispense valve. Dispensing compressed air will damage the metered dispense valve.

Installation

FIG. 7

Flushing

The equipment was tested with lightweight oil, which was left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid contaminating the fluid, flush the equipment with a compatible solvent before use.

1. Close the fluid shut-off valve (B, FIG. 4, page 9) at each dispense position.

2. Make sure:

• the main fluid outlet valve at the

pump is closed.

• the air pressure to the pump motor

is adjusted to minimize the system flow rate without the metered dispense valve attached.

• the air valve is open.

3. Slowly open the main fluid outlet valve.

a. Place the hose end (with no

metered dispense valve connected) into a container for waste oil.

b. Secure the hose in the container to

avoid it becoming loose during flushing.

c. For multiple dispense positions, first

flush the dispense position farthest from the pump then work toward the pump.

Install the Metered Dispense Valve

1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 10.

2. Slide the swivel boot (a) back, over the hose, small end first to access the swivel fitting (6) (FIG. 7).

3. Apply thread sealant to the male threads of the hose fitting. Thread the hose fitting (b) into the metered dispense valve swivel (6). Use two wrenches to tighten securely (FIG. 7).

NOTE: Allow the sealant to cure according to the manufacturer’s recommendations before circulating fluid through the system.

4. Slowly open the fluid shut-off valve (B) at the dispense position. Flush a sufficient amount of oil to ensure that the entire system is clean; then close the valve.

5. Repeat Step 4 at all other positions.

Calibration

NOTE:

• This calibration procedure requires a

one quart or one liter clean, calibrated, volumetric flask. When the meter is configured to display fluid volume in pints, quarts, or gallons, the calibration procedure will require a one quart calibrated, volumetric flask be used. When the meter is configured in liters, a one liter volumetric flask is required for calibration.

• The metered dispense valve must be

flushed and primed prior to calibration (see Flushing, page 11).

• The metered dispense valve should be

calibrated prior to using it for the first time. Calibrating the metered dispense valve assures that the dispenses are accurate.

Calibration factors can vary due to fluid viscosity and flow rate.

Calibrate the metered dispense valve for specific fluids at nominal flow rates.

This calibration procedure requires a one quart or one liter calibrated, volumetric flask. If a one quart or one liter calibrated, volumetric flask is not available, see Alternate Calibration instructions, page 16.

To calibrate the metered dispense valve:

1. Use the UP or DOWN ARROW button on the keypad to highlight UTILITY MENU (FIG. 12) and then press the center ENTER button on the keypad to select the UTILITY MENU option.

2. Use the UP or DOWN ARROW button on the keypad to highlight SET-UP (F
