Assembly Instructions
⚠WARNING
 Do not exceed the maximum working air pressure of 115 PSI.
 The compressed air must be filtered to avoid dust and moisture into pump.
 Route hoses away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces.
⚠WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
 Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and
result in a fire or explosion and serious injury.
 Ground the equipment and the object being lubricated.
 Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvents or the fluid
dispensed.
PUMP INSTALLATION
• When the pump is applied to a high viscosity grease, or used in low temperature, a grease
follower plate is recommended to avoid air pockets and to get the most out of your grease.
• The follower plate, which is pulled towards the bottom of the drum by suction pressure produced
by the air operated pump, compresses the grease, preventing the formation of air pockets which
may cause a blockage in delivery. The follower plate will always keep the grease clean to
preserve its characteristics and also enable the grease to be collected from the bottom of the
drum to avoid waste.
• Loosen the bung adaptor or wall bracket adaptor star nut. Slide the bung adaptor off of the suction
tube.
• Carefully insert the pump through the bung adaptor and the follower plate. Then tighten the star
nut firmly in order to attach the pump.
CONNECTING THE AIR INLET LINE
• The air inlet connection is 1/4'' quick coupling (or 1/4'' NPT female) in all versions.
• Compressed air connections (to be supplied by the customer) should be done using the correct
tubes.
• A compressed air treatment unit (filter and regulator) is recommended to be attached to the pump.
In order to improve the efficiency of the pump, the installation of a lubricator is also recommended.
