2. DESCRIPTION & APPLICATION
2.1. Description
AK450DP is designed as a high volume transfer pump for the discharge of waste oil from Sealey models AK450DX, AK464DX and other
similar types of oil drainers. The pump is supplied with a wall mounting bracket and 2½ metres of flexible hose with a dry-fit quick coupling
to attach it to the drainer unit. 2 metres of flexible air supply hose with air management system are also included. The pump may be
plumbed into a run of pipe-work to a waste oil storage point. Recommended pipe diameter is 3/4 or larger.
The delivery performance will be affected by length and diameter of the delivery lines.

4.2. Assembly
4.2.1. The air control unit items (fig.1. 2 & 3) have polycarbonate bowls and must not be installed where the bowls may be exposed to
materials incompatible with polycarbonate such as certain solvents and chemicals, or where fumes can weaken the bowls. If this is
unavoidable, an extension air line hose may be placed between the pump unit and the air control unit, but should not exceed 2 metres
(6½ft) in length. Note that a mounting bracket (fig.1.5) is supplied to provide support for remote positioned air control unit.
p WARNING! Clean new air lines ensuring all metal shavings have been removed before connecting the pump and control unit. Any dirt in
the inlet lines could damage the unit and may invalidate the warranty.

AK450DP - 0444 - (2) - 190899
4.2.2. Connect filter-regulator to lubricator using one of the fittings (10). Note the air flow direction arrows on
each unit and that lubricator must be between pump and filter-regulator. Using the second fitting (10)
fig. 2
connect the lubricator outlet to the pump air inlet.
4.2.3. Screw gauge (4) into filter-regulator port, choosing the port which will provide easiest gauge visibility
in final installed position. Plug the remaining gauge port with plug (9).
Screw air hose (6) into filter-regulator inlet port. Secure all connections (but do not over tighten).
4.3. Installation. Wall mounting.
DO NOT install the unit where it may be damaged by moving apparatus, or may endanger personal safety.
4.3.1. Secure wall mounting bracket (fig.1.8) to wall, as shown in fig.3, ensuring wall and attaching
screws are adequate to take the weight of the pump and the pull of the suction and output hoses.
Remove the knurled mounting ring from the pump body and pass the pump unit through the mounting
bracket and secure with the knurled ring.
4.3.2. Attach suction hose (fig.2.7) to inlet at base of pump unit. Attach output line (¾ bore - not supplied, see
fig.2) to the pump output port.
4.3.3. The bowl of the filter-regulator (fig.2.2) is fitted with an automatic drain valve the outlet of which
may be piped away using suitably sized flexible tube.
fig. 3
4.3.4. Remove lubricator (fig.2.3) oil filler plug and fill with good quality air tool oil (Sealey ATO/500 500ml size or
ATO/1000 1L size) checking the maximum level marked on the side of the unit.
Note: The installation of a wall bracket next to the pump, to support the suction hose
when not in use, is recommended.
4.3.5. Use PTFE tape or similar on all connections to ensure leak-free joints.
5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1. Air regulator
The regulator should be set at 6 bar/90psi. It is important to maintain the correct operating pressure to ensure that the control valves
and connectors are not damaged and to prevent leakage in the delivery lines.
5.1.1. Connect the suction hose (fig.2.7) to the oil drain unit and ensure the outlet hose will dispose of the waste in accordance with local authority
regulations. DO NOT pollute the environment by the uncontrolled discharge of waste products.

5.1.2. Before turning on air supply for the first time ensure that pressure regulator knob (fig.4.A) is unwound (anticlockwise) so
Note: When resetting the regulated pressure always start from below the new required pressure and adjust up.
5.1.3. Check that there are no leaks from any of the hoses or fittings.
5.1.4. When pumping is complete turn the air line off. Disconnect suction hose from drain unit and store. Wipe up any spillage.
Note: Waste oil will not pump if its viscosity is too high.
WARNING! Do not operate pump dry - suction line must be connected to drainer before turning on.
that there is no load on the regulator spring. Turn on air supply. Regulator output gauge (fig.2.4) should show zero. Turn
regulator knob clockwise, slowly, until gauge shows 6 bar (90psi) - pump will start at approx. 2 bar. Lock knob with
locking ring (fig.4.B) to prevent accidental movement.

6. MAINTENANCE
p
p
WARNING! Ensure that the pump is disconnected from the air line and that there is no pressure in the output line before attempting
any service or maintenance.
Note: It is essential that dirt and moisture are kept out of the air supply to the pump. Drain air supply system and clean filters regularly.
Air line lubricator and water trap (fig.2.3)
6.1.
This unit is designed to automatically lubricate the pump via the air supply. The unit must be kept topped up with good quality air tool
oi
l (Sealey reference: ATO/500 - 500ml size or ATO/1000 - 1L size). To adjust the oil flow turn the oil regulator on the top of the unit.
Turn screw anticlockwise to increase the flow and clockwise to decrease flow - set to minimum flow for this application. At regular intervals
check that water is draining from filter-regulator, since it is essential that water does not enter the pump.
6.2. Cleaning.
Clean pump and air units with clean damp cloth. Mild detergents may be used to remove oil.
DO NOT use solvents or abrasives and do not get the pump or air units wet.
