LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF IPA
My name is Peter Vinci and I am the president of IPA®. I would like to rst thank you for
your interest in IPA®’s product line and share my commitment to you, our products and
our policies. In today’s world, we have all experienced the lack of service and consideration demonstrated by many companies after you buy their products. They say whatever they can to make the sale, and then it’s like pulling teeth to get any service response
out of them. I know this myself rst-hand and because of this, I want to be sure that your
experience with IPA® meets your expectations and that IPA® never disappoints you with
our service or customer response.
To prove my commitment to you, if for any reason you are not happy with one of our
products or more importantly, with the response from our customer service or any mem-
ber of the IPA® team for any reason, I invite you to contact me directly via my email,
[email protected] or call me at 888-786-7899. Your satisfaction is more important to
me than the sale itself. We will not be in business for long if we don’t make you completely happy with our products and service. I want IPA® to be different and to be known
for its quality and service.
With that said, please take a look at our product line. You will see innovative rst time
products that were created to help you do your job faster and better than before. I would
also like to invite you to critique our products. If you can think of a better way to make
them or changes that will make them better, then again, please contact me directly and I
will be sure to look into it. If you have an innovation and would like some feedback, give
me a call.
From all of us at IPA®, we thank you for taking the time to review our product line and
wish you and your family the very best of everything.
Peter Vinci

MUST READ BEFORE USE
This diaphragm pump is meant for use with liquids only. DO NOT suck
up leaves, gravel and other solids. Doing so will void the warranty. Manufacturer suggests the use of a screen lter on the intake side.
(Reference part # 9040-TFIL)
SET UP INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1
Take the male quick disconnect from one end of the hose and connect it to the female
quick disconnect for either input or output of the pump. Repeat for other hose.
STEP 2
Hook up shop air to the small ball valve on the front of the pump.
Max air pressure is 100PSI.
STEP 3
Open ball valve and turn on pump.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES:
8 FT. EXTENSION HOSE #9040-8EXT
1. To connect the 8ft. extension hose between the sweeper® and
the hose that you want to extend, take the male quick disconnect
of the 8ft. extension hose and put it into the desired female port
of the Sweeper.
2. Take the female end of the 8 ft. extension hose and attach it to
the male end of the hose you are extending.
3. To couple the male and female quick disconnects together, put
the male quick disconnect into the female quick disconnect.

4. Pull the levers on the side of the female end all the way down towards itself tight
against the side. Be sure to insert the cotter pins through the hole to lock the levers
in place.
NOTE: During the pump operation, excessive vibration can loosen the coupling
locking handles. Be certain to use the locking cotter pins.
5. To maintain the clear appearance of the hose after use, it is good practice to gravity
drain all uid from the hose. Then using warm soapy water, ush until clean and air
drain and dry afterwards.
NOTE: Depending upon what contaminates are present when using the hose and
how well it is cleaned afterwards determines how long the hose remains clear.
The hose is warranted to be free from manufacturer’s defects for one year.

SAMPLE STICK #9042
The Sample stick is designed to remove a small sample of fuel oil
from the bottom of a fuel tank so the operator can see what contaminates
exist.
TO OPERATE:
1. Insert the Sample Stick through one of the cap openings at the top
of the tank all the way until it contacts the bottom of the tank.
2. Slowly withdraw the piston via the handle until the desired amount
of fuel is drawn into the Sample Stick.
3. Remove the sample stick from the tank keeping an oil absorbent
towel ready. Allow the Sample Stick to drip drain into the towel.
4. Have a suitable container made of glass or material that will not be
affected by the fuel oil ready for the sample fuel oil.
5. Slowly withdraw the piston until it is removed completely from the
sample tube. Place the piston on a towel to drip drain.
6. Pour the remaining contents of the sample tube into the sample jar.
7. Once the sample is in the jar, let it sit for 24 hours to separate the
contents. The water will settle to the very bottom with rust, and
then algae, then the crude. The clear oil will be on top. This
should be a real time view of what is happening at the bottom of the
oil tank.
8. Once the sample has been taken, you must replace the piston in the sample stick
tube. Because of the one way valve at the bottom of the foot valve, there will be a
pressure block as you attempt to replace the piston. You need to break the suction
seal by unscrewing the foot valve two turns counter clockwise. This allows the air
to escape and the piston to be replaced. Once the piston reaches the bottom of the
tube, you must retighten the foot valve. Be certain not to over- tighten the O-ring. A
snug torque of the foot valve halves is all that is needed.
Cleaning of the Sample Stick after use is necessary to maintain its clear appearance.
When ready, allow the Sample Stick to gravity drain the oil. Once the stick has been
drained, a solution of warm soapy water should be used to ush the stick a few times
until clean.
NOTE: The tube of the sample stick is made of a clear acrylic material. The
Sample stick should not be used for gasoline, ONLY OIL!
