Operation (Air-Powered Pumps)

Starting and Adjusting the Pump

1. Charge the surge tank, if you are using one. See

the separate instruction manual, 307–707.

2. Open all shutoff valves (D).

3. Open the dispensing valve/spray gun at the last

gun station and keep it open while starting the

pump.

4. Open the bleed-type master air valves (M).

5. Adjust the air regulator (L) to the minimum pres-

sure necessary for the pump to cycle slowly.

6. When fluid is flowing smoothly from the gun,

release the gun trigger.

7. One at a time, open any other guns in the system

to purge air from the lines.

8. Adjust the pump runaway valve (P) according to

the instructions supplied with it.

9. Adjust the lubricator (N) according to the instruc-

tions supplied with it.

NOTE: In a circulating system, the pump operates

continuously until the power supply is shut off. In a

direct supply system, the pump starts when the gun/

valve is opened, and stops when the gun/valve is

closed. The pump always stops on the downstroke due

to the vented inlet seat (32).

WARNING

COMPONENT RUPTURE HAZARD

To reduce the risk of overpressurizing

your system, which could cause

component rupture and serious injury,

never exceed the specified maximum air input

pressure to the pump (see Technical Data on

pages 40–45).

Shutdown

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you

are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the

Pressure Relief Procedure on page 12.

Relieve the pressure.
