INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing our Air Pressure Pump. This product utilizes compressed air to deliver/collect liquids
from/into drum cans. It’s a safe, inexpensive and high quality product. “Electric pumps are expensive”, “Operating
manual pumps is troublesome!”–we have developed this product taking customers’opinions under consideration.
And we made it safe! The regulator stabilizes pressure inside of a drum can, while the relief valve protects from
regulator’s malfunction. This is the end to your troubles with liquid transfer. Enjoy the safety and convenience of
our product, but first, please read this manual carefully and refer to it whenever necessary,
AQUASYSTEM CO., LTD.
DEVICE’S FEATURES:
⚫It’s an innovative type with two separate components: regulating and delivery part
⚫Flow path has been enlarged allowing even higher delivery rate of high viscosity oil and chemicals
⚫Disassembly and cleaning have never been easier!
⚫The device does not utilize electricity at all and can be safely used in hazardous areas.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
⚫This manual contains safety-related information. Please follow it strictly. Before using the device, carefully
read the manual (misusing the device may result in accidents).
⚫Keep the manual in a safe place and refer to it when necessary.

DANGER!
Misuse may result in death or serious injuries.
WARNING!
Misuse may result in death or serious injuries.
CAUTION!
Misuse may result in human injuries and material damage.
* Please remember, that the safety measures and warnings pointed out in this manual are not exhaustive for all
possible situations. Although we have designed our product to be as safe as possible, persons operating and
maintaining the device should strictly follow all safety rules in the operation/maintenance area.
* Compressed air entering and leaving the drum can may cause the drum to produce loud sounds. Consider using
the device in an industrial area.

BEFORE USING THE DEVICE
BY ALL MEANS OBEY THE FOLLOWING RULES!
This pump, utilizing compressed air, is intended to either deliver or collect liquids from/into drum cans. Do not use
it for any other purpose.
DANGER!
⚫Please use drum cans with sheet thickness of at least 1.2 mm and: smaller inlet’s diameter: Ø3/4''
(approx. 20 mm); bigger inlet’s diameter: 2'' (approx. 50 mm).
⚫APDS Series users should use pressure lower than 1 MPa.
⚫APQS Series users should use pressure lower than 0.7 MPa.
Please do not exceed the pressure level both for APDS and APDQS Series. Regulator and/or relief valve
malfunction may result in drum can’s explosion.
⚫Keep the pressure inside of a drum can at 0.05 MPa. Do not manipulate with drum can’s inner pressure
settings, as it may result in damaging the container.
⚫Read the manual carefully and use the device correctly.
You can learn about permitted liquids from this manual.
⚫Be careful not to touch or ingest the transferred liquid.
In case of direct contact with liquid (ingestion, skin contamination etc.), immediately proceed with safety
procedures and seek medical attention.
⚫Do not use fire.
Connect the ground wire to pump’s main body and nozzle, especially when using the device in hazardous
areas and/or transferring inflammable or explosive liquids. Do not use fire.
⚫Do not disassemble or reset the regulator.
The regulator and relief valve are already correctly set to protect you. Do not manipulate them.
⚫Do not insert the end of the hose into liquid during the delivery.
When the level of fluid in drum can becomes low, the air is also sucked by the pump and leaves the
system with the rest of the fluid through the delivery hose. Do not leave the hose immersed as the air
coming out may splash the liquid.
⚫Decompress the air inside the drum can until normal pressure level returns.
Remember to close the air valve after using the pump. Carefully release the P-cock (pump’s main body) to
decompress the air in the drum can.

WARNING!
⚫Use the pump in a proper place.
Keep the equipment away from children.
⚫Seek medical attention.
If you suddenly feel worse while operating the pump, immediately discontinue the operation and seek
medical attention.
⚫Use protection equipment.
Remember to wear protection clothes and equipment according to the liquids safety instructions.
⚫Do not assemble, reassemble or repair the pump on your own.
Service related matters are restricted to authorized experts.
⚫Remember to change the liquid properly.
When changing the liquid you are going to transfer, always carefully clean the pump out of the liquid
transferred before. Not doing so may lead to dangerous chemical reactions.
CAUTION!
⚫Request technical service whenever required
When the device stops operating or operates in a strange manner, immediately turn off the device and
contact technical service. Do not use broken equipment, as it may result in accidents.
⚫Do not cause shock to device’s main body
It may result in pump’s malfunction, breakdowns and leakage.
⚫Prevent water from getting into compressed air
Use an air dryer especially when transferring liquids, which should not come in contact with water.
⚫Firmly hold the hose and the nozzle
The delivery flow (APDS Series) is very strong, especially when transferring low viscosity liquids. Hold
the hose and the nozzle firmly.
⚫Remember to close the air valve.
After using the pump close the air valve.
⚫Maximum size of transferable particles is 7~8 mm.
The pump is capable of transferring liquids contaminated by sludge or metal particles of size no larger
than 7~8 mm.

[The delivery part]
COMPRESSED AIR LINE COMPOMENTS DESCRIPTION. Setting up the regulator (ONLY IF DEREGULATED).
The regulator is preset. At compressor’s 7.0 kgf/cm2,
drum can’s inner pressure is stabilized to 0.5 kgf/cm2
(which equals 2.5 handle rotations from a ‘closed’state).
①The pressure regulator’s handle is locked. To unlock
it, pull it up once firmly.
②By rotating the handle right, you increase the
pressure. By rotating the handle left, you decrease
the pressure.
③Operate the handle manually. Do not use any tools
as they may damage the handle and cause an
accident.
④Pressing the handle locks it. When experiencing
troubles while locking the handle, rotate it slightly
left and right, and press it.
⑤Check the pressure after setting the regulator.
⑥Always set the pressure lower than the original
setting (max 85% of the original setting).
PARTS DESCRIPTION

USAGE INSTRUCTION
①Fix the adapter firmly to drum can’s larger ajutage (outlet, G2). [Drawing 1]
②Release the Push Screw and insert the pipe into the adapter until you can’t
insert it any further. [Drawing 1]
③Manually tighten the Push Screw. [Drawing 1]
④Insert into the smaller ajutage (outlet, G3/4): the regulator (for delivery) or
the ejector (for suction). Fix it firmly. [Drawings 2 & 3]
⑤Close the air valve by setting it perpendicularly to the hi-coupler 20PM.
[Drawings 2 & 3]
⑥Close the suction/delivery valves [A] & [B] by setting them perpendicularly to
the hose. [Drawings 1 & 4]
⑦[Delivery only] Close the adapter’s P-cock. [Drawing 1]
⑧Connect the compressor to hi-coupler 20PM. [Drawings 2 & 3]
⑨Open the air valve –the compressed air enters the can (below 1 MPa).
[Delivery only] Make sure the pressure (measured by the meter) is stabilized
at 0.05 MPa (0.5 kgf/cm2). [Drawing 2]
⑩Opening suction/delivery valves [A] & [B] begins suction/delivery.
⚫[Delivery]
When the liquid in drum can runs out, the air will come out of a delivery line.
⚫[Suction]
When the liquid fills the can full, the float ball will block the suction line.
The suction will automatically stop. [Drawings 1 & 4]
⑪Closing the suction/delivery valve [B] stops suction/delivery. [Drawing 4]
⑫After use, close the air valve and suction/delivery valve [A]. Open the
suction/delivery valve [B] to let out the leftover liquid from the hose. After
that, close the suction/delivery valve [B]. [Drawings 1 & 4]
⑬[Delivery only] Open the adapter’s P-cock to restore normal pressure in the
drum can.
⚫Leftover pressure may be very dangerous. It may splash the liquid and
push the pump out of the can. Make sure the pressure meter shows “0”.
⚫Please use a ground wire for protection against fire and explosion.
