Installation (Air-Powered Pumps)

Air Line to Motor

WARNING

A bleed-type master air valve (D) is required in

your system, to help reduce the risk of serious

injury including splashing fluid in the eyes or on the

skin, and injury from moving parts if you are adjust-

ing or repairing the pump.

The bleed-type master air valve relieves 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.

Order Part No. 113–333.

1. The air line lubricator (N) automatically lubricates

the air motor to prevent corrosion. See Fig. 2.

2. The bleed-type master air valve (M) relieves air

trapped between itself and the motor, when the

valve is closed. Install one valve close to the

pump, downstream from the air regulator. Install a

second bleed valve upstream from all other air line

accessories, to isolate the accessories for servic-

ing.

3. The air regulator (L) controls pump speed.

4. The pump runaway valve (P) shuts off the air to

the pump if the pump speed exceeds your pre-ad-

justed setting. Running a pump too fast can dam-

age it.

5. The air filter (K) removes harmful dirt and moisture

from the compressed air supply.

6. The air supply line (J) must be large enough to

supply the proper volume of air to the motor.

Fluid Line from Pump

WARNING

A fluid drain valve (J) is required in your system, to

help reduce the risk of serious injury including

splashing in the eyes or on the skin if the pump

cycles unexpectedly.

Locate one valve downstream from the pump outlet

and another valve downstream from the surge tank

(G). These drain valves are used to relieve fluid

pressure in the pump and surge tank during shut-

down.

1. The surge tank (G) reduces fluid surging to pre-

vent backflow into the pump. Mounting instructions

are supplied with the tank.

2. The shutoff valves (D) before and after the surge

tank, and between each mix tank and the pump

fluid inlet, isolate these components for servicing.

3. Be sure the supply line (C) between the pump and

mix tanks is level.
