Manual Conventions Manual Conventions Warning Caution WARNING CAUTION A caution alerts you to possible equipment damage or destruction if you do not follow instructions. A warning alerts you to possible serious injury or death if you do not follow instructions. Note Symbols, such as fire and explosion (shown), alert you to a specific hazard and direct you to read the indicated hazard warnings beginning on page 4. A note indicates additional helpful information.
Warning WARNING SKIN INJECTION HAZARD High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical treatment. • Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body. • Do not put your hand over the spray tip. • Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag. • Do not spray without tip guard and trigger guard installed.
Installation Installation The typical stationary installation shown in is only a guide for selecting and installing a pump; it is not an actual system design. Contact your Graco distributor for assistance in designing a system to meet your needs. Letters used to identify components in FIG. 1 are referred to in the package installation drawings, FIG. 3 through FIG. 7. Additional letter references are used in installation drawings as necessary. .
Installation Mounting the Pump WARNING Mount the pump securely so that it cannot move during operation. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage. • • Select a location that allows the operator easy access to the pump and air controls, sufficient room to change supply containers, and a secure mounting platform. If you are mounting the pump directly on the supply container, be sure it is positioned so the pump’s intake tube is no more than 1 in.
Installation Universal Pump Fire-Ball 225 Model 248230 Fire-Ball 300 Model 225852 Fire-Ball 425 Model 225853 1. Apply thread sealant to the male threads of the 3/8 npt swivel union (2d). Screw the union into the pump air inlet (D). 2. Apply thread sealant to the male threads of the 1/2 npt swivel union (2b). Screw the union into the pump fluid outlet (N). 3. Connect the 1/2 npt(mbe) fluid hose (2a) to the swivel union (2b). 4. Connect the 3/8 npt(mbe) air hose (2c) to the swivel union (2d).
Installation 16-Gallon (60 Liter) Gear Lube Dispenser Fire-Ball 225 Model 246903 Fire-Ball 300 Model 225728 drum. When installed, the bottom of the angle should be about 1” (25 mm) from the bottom of the drum. The down tube for 225728 is sized for the container. 1. Assemble the base (5) as shown in FIG. 4. Place an opened 16-gallon (60 liter) drum on the base and secure it with the hold-down clamps. Tighten the hold-down clamp bolts 3. Set the cover (4) on the drum and secure the thumbscrews (Q).
Installation 16-Gallon (60 Liter) Drum Cover Pump Fire-Ball 225 Model 246904 Fire-Ball 300 Model 225094 4. Assemble the air regulator kit (items 3a-3d) to the pump air inlet (D) as shown. Use thread sealant and tighten all parts securely. 1. Set the cover (4) on a 16-gallon (60 liter) drum and secure with the thumbscrews (Q). See FIG. 5. 5. Apply thread sealant to the male threads of the 3/8 npt swivel union (2d). Screw the union into the bleed-type master air valve (3c). 2.
Installation 55-Gallon (208 Liter) Drum Cover Pump Fire-Ball 225 Model 246906 Fire-Ball 300 Model 225642 Fire-Ball 425 Model 225782 1. For 246906 cut the extension tube (P) at a 45° angle to a length appropriate for the size of the drum. When installed, the bottom of the angle should be about 1” (25 mm) from the bottom of the drum. For 225642 and 225782 the down tube is sized for the container. 2. Set the cover (4) on a 55-gallon (208 liter) drum.
Installation 55-/275-Gallon (208 Liter) Drum, Bung-Mount Pump Fire-Ball 225 Model 246907 Fire-Ball 300 Models 225640 and 225931 3. Tighten the bung adapter screw (T) to hold the pump in position. 4. Apply thread sealant to the male threads of the 3/8 npt swivel union (2d). Screw the union into the pump air inlet (D). 1. Screw the bung adapter (M) into the bung hole of the drum. See FIG. 7. 5. Apply thread sealant to the male threads of the 1/2 npt swivel union (2b).
Installation Mobil Mounting Closed Bung-Type-Drum, Cover-Mounted Pump Mobil Mounting Layout 1. Insert the pump extension tube through the gasket (Z) and drum cover (AA). Fasten the Fire-Ball 300 from the top and the Fire-Ball 425 from the bottom. See FIG. 9. Plan the layout for easy operator access to the pump air controls, sufficient space to change drums, and a secure mounting platform. Drum Mounting 1. Place the drum in the desired location. 2.
Installation Closed Bung-Type-Drum, Sturdi-Clamp-Mounted Pumps 1. Remove the adjustable bung adapter fro the pump extension tube. DD EE 2. Screw the bung adapter (HH) into the bung hole. 3. Loosen the wing nuts (EE) and slide the clamp (DD) onto the pump extension tube, up to the base. See FIG. 10. FF 4. Holding the clamp onto the pump, insert the pump extension tube through the bung adapter, and lower the pump until the clamp rests on the edge of the drum. See FIG. 10. GG 5.
Operation Operation See FIG. 1 to identify references shown in parentheses, i.e.,(A). 3. Open the pump air regulator (C) slowly, just until the pump is running. When the pump is primed and all air has been pushed out of the lines, close the dispensing valve (H). WARNING This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is manually relieved. Read PRESURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD warnings on page 4. Maximum working pressure of all components in the system may not be the same.
