GENERAL DESCRIPTION
WARNING HAZARDOUS PRESSURE. Do not exceed maxi-
mum operatingpressureof 2700 p.s.i. (186.2 bar) at 150 p.s.i.
(10.3bar) inlet air pressure.
PUMP RATIO X MAXIMUM PUMP
INLET PRESSURE TO PUMP MOTOR =FLUID PRESSURE
Pump ratio is anexpression oftherelationship between the pump motor area and the
lowerpumpendarea.EXAMPLE:When150p.s.i.(10.3bar)inletpressureis supplied

pressure (atno flow) -- asthefluid controlis opened, theflow rate willincrease as the
motor cycle rate increases to keep up with the demand.

The motor isconnected to thelower pump endwith a spacer tube
and solvent cup. This allows for lubrication of the upper packing
gland and to prevent air motor contamination because of normal
wear andeventual leakage through the materialpackinggland.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Pump problems can occur in either the air motor section or the lower
pumpendsection.Usethesebasicguidelinestohelpdeterminewhich
section is affected. Be sure to eliminate any possible non-pump prob-
lems before suspectingpump malfunction.
Pump will not cycle.
No pressure to the motor. Seemotor manual.
Restricted return lines. Cleanobstruction.
Damaged motor. Service motor.
No material at the outlet (pump continually cycles).
Checkthematerialsupply,disconnectorshutofftheairsupplyand
replenish the material, reconnect.
Material on one stroke only (fast downstroke).
The lower check may not be seating in the foot valve (see lower
pump disassembly). Remove the check from thefoot valve, clean
andinspectthevalveseatarea.Ifcheckorfootvalvearedamaged,
replace.
Material on one stroke only (fast upstroke).

DISASSEMBLY
NOTE: All threads are right hand.
NOTE 2: When disassembling lower pump end from pump, use a
wrenchon theflats of(12) tube,(23) inletbodyand (29) seatbody
to prevent from twistingand damaging the tie rods (see Operators
Manual 67310-X-X, p/n 97999-1129 for lower pump end item num-
bers).
1. Laythepumpassembly on a workbench.
2. Remove the threenuts from thethree tierods (figure 1).

REASSEMBLY
1. Assemble lower pump end plunger to motor piston rod, aligning
throughholes.
2. Assemblepin through hole, securing rods.
3. Assemblecotter pinthrough pin.
4. Rotate the lower pump endso thematerial outlet is 180_fromthe
motor air inlet.
5. Assemblethe tierods to the lower pump end.
6. Retain withthree nuts.
