! WARNING ! – RELIEF PROCEDURE
DO NOT EVER point the dispensing valve at another person.
DO NOT EVER attempt to stop material from the dispensing valve or a leaking connection with your hand
or body.
BEFORE EACH USE, check equipment for proper operation and to insure safety devices are in place and
working properly.
NEVER modify this equipment. Modification could cause equipment malfunction and result in serious
bodily injury.
When flushing the pump with solvents, ALWAYS hold a metal part of the dispensing valve firmly to the
side of a grounded metal pail and operate pump at the lowest possible fluid pressure to reduce the risk of
injury from splashing or static sparking.
WARNING: This pump can develop 7500 PSI working pressure at 120 PSI maximum incoming air
pressure. Be sure that all system equipment and accessories are rated to withstand the maximum working
pressure of this pump. NEVER exceed the maximum working pressure of the lowest rated component in the
system. IMPORTANT: “Whip” hoses for dispensing valve are fluid pressure rated at 4500 PIS. NEVER
exceed 90 PSI, air pressure to pump when using “whip” hoses.
WARNING: Water and even moist air can cause this pump to corrode. To aid in the prevention of this
corrosion, NEVER leave the pump filled with water or air. After normal flushing, flush the pump once more
with mineral spirits or an oil based solvent, relieve pressure and leave the mineral spirits in the pump. BE
SURE TO CORRECTLY FOLLOW THE PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE.
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
ALWAYS FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE to reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including splashing
into the eyes. After shutting off the pump; checking/servicing any part of the system; installing/cleaning or
changing any part of the system, ALWAYS follow this procedure:
1. Disconnect the air supply to the pump.
2. Aim the dispensing valve away from yourself and others.
3. Aim the dispensing valve into an appropriate container and open until all pressure is relieved.
If you believe that the dispensing valve or hose is completely clogged or that pressure in the pump has not
been fully relieved after following the above procedure, VERY SLOWLY loosen the hose end coupling to
relieve the pressure gradually and then loosen completely. Then proceed to clear the valve or hose.
WARNING: ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Procedure after shutting off the pump.
WARNING: ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when checking/servicing any part of the
system and when installing, cleaning or changing any part of the system.

INSTALLATION
It is recommended that you use an air line filter/regulator/lubricator to remove
harmful dirt and moisture from the compressed air supply and to provide automatic lubrication to the
air motor. Blow-dry the lines and hoses with air before connecting them to the system..

Instruction for Assembly of ATD5217 Lubrigun
Assemble Drum Cover to Pump
Insert end of pump tube (ATD5217-1) through hole in the drum cover
(45733). Line up holes in drum cover (45733) with the pump outlet body
(ATD5217-1). Place the screws (50060) in their respective holes in the
drum cover (45733) and tighten drum cover (45733) to the bottom of the
pump body (ATD5217-1)
NOTE: Many of the smaller parts might have already been installed for you, such a sthe muffler (2601) pump
cover (91407) and extention (10181).
Assemble the four casters (66060ME) to the roll around base (ATD5372)
1: Place a fresh drum of lubricant
centrally located on the roll around
base between the four base clamps
2: Base clamps are adjustable to fit
the various diameter drums.
3: Clamp drum rigidly to the base
by tightening the clamp studs
securely.
Insert follower plate (ATD5325) onto the bottom of the pump tube (ATD5217-1) and slide the follower plate
(ATD5325) up the pump tube.
Lower pump tube into lubricant until drum cover (45733) rests on top bead of drum.
Insert the three (3) adjusting screws (50415) into the drum cover (45733) and tighten securely to hold the
pump (ATD5217-1) to the drum.
Install the muffler (ATD5317)(not shown) in the exhaust port of the air motor head. Locate the muffler
(ATD5317) on the schematic. Ensure that the muffler (ATD5317) is inserted in the correct orifice.
Assemble the lubricant hose (ATD5361) to the pump outlet body. If the union adapter (66645ME) was
purchased, thread the union adapter into the lube opening followed by the hose (ATD5361) into the union
adapter. The connections must be leakproof. Do not connect the ATD5218 Control Valve Yet. You want
to prime the system and purge contaminants out of the Grease Hose.
Install the extention tube (10181) into the air inlet port of the air motor. You might need Teflon tape to ensure a leak-free
connection. Place air motor (91407) on pump head (ATD5217-1). Place washer (33034) and cover nut (11478) on pump
stud and thread air motor cover securely in place. Ensure that you align holes for 11660 air nipple and extension 10181.
The Air coupler (815ME) and nipple (11660) are packed in a separate bag.
Thread Air Nipple (11660) into extension (10181) connected through pump cover opening; Thread into pump head
opening. Use Teflon tape to seal threads to prevent air leakage if necessary.
Assemble air coupler (815) to an air hose of sufficient length so that the lubrigun can be moved to cover the
entire lubrication area with the hose attached. When air coupler (815) is attached to air coupler nipple
(11660), lubrigun is ready for operation. To release air coupler (815), draw back on the coupler sleeve (815)
and slide away from the nipple (11660).
NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL ATD5218 CONTROL VALVE YET!
Did you install? A regulator? We suggest that for accurate control of the pump, you use an air
regulator.
DID YOU: Purchase a Filter / Regulator for your pump? The Filter / Regulator should have
an automatic dump mechanism to purge the water out of the incoming air. Water
in the compressed air system is the biggest “Killer” of Air Operated Equipment.
YES: Proceed
NO: Think about it! It is cheap insurance to keep your pump running at maximum
efficiency and the pump will last longer.
Initiating Air Motor and Pump Operation
To Start Pump: Turn on air from Air Regulator slowly. You will hear the air enter the air motor. Pump will
start quickly and then reach prime at a stall pressure. It might take as much as 60-70 PSI to get the pump
started initially. Recommended Air Pressure to operate the pump under normal conditions is 80PSI. Pump
will activate as low as 15-20PSI. For first time operation, pump will start at 50-60 PSI. After that pump will
activate at the lower pressure.
Pump will start quickly and then reach prime at a stall pressure when the control valve is attached.

Allow pump to operate: Pumping Grease into the hose. Allow approximately 1/3 Cup of Grease to flow out of
the Hose. This is to insure that any particles or contaminants or residue inside the hose do not enter the
ATD5218 Control Valve. Stop Pump; Install the ATD5218 Control Valve on the hose; The optional “Z”
swivel (ATD5253) can also be installed at this time. Make sure connections are tight; Resume operation of the
pump. The pump should reach stall pressure and stop.
Are you in a messy
Environment?
The second biggest killer of these pumps is foreign material such as grit,
dirt, rocks, metal shavings, grass, plastic shavings being introduced into
the pump tube.
We suggest the ATD5356 pump tube strainer to avoid this problem.
Test the System Pull the Trigger slowly and Grease should be ejected from the nozzle.
Don’t point it at anyone!
Never Put your Finger or Other Bodily parts near the valve control nozzle when pulling the trigger on the
control valve ATD5218.
To know the amount of lubricant pressure in your system or the hose, multiply the amount of air pressure by 50.
For example, if there is 100 psi of air pressure indicated on the regulator (100 psi of air entering) then there is
5000 psi of grease pressure in the lubricant line.
Note: Plastic Liner If the grease gun has a plastic liner and your pump operates but no grease is
delivered, the downtube of the pump could be trying to pick up the plastic
liner and the downtube is blocked. SOLUTION: Reseat the pump in the
grease by lifting the pump approximately 12” and reseating it on top of the
drum. You can permanently raise the pump up at least 1”-2” out of the drum
on blocks or install a grease strainer (ATD5356) on the downtube to prevent
the liner from being picked up.
Note: Pump life &
Air motor lubrication
Please read the troubleshooting guide now. Your pump air motor has been
packed with grease at the factory. In addition, approximately 4-8 fl oz’s of
common lubricating motor oil has been injected into the air inlet port of the
air motor. To ensure the continuing operating efficiency and long life of your
air motor pump, we recommend that you inject at least 2 fl oz’s of common
lubricating motor oil in the inlet port every week.
Do not use any synthetic oil like Marvel Mystery Oil. This will swell the
Buna-N packings of the pump and cause irreparable damage to the pump.

Trouble Shooting Guide for Pumps ATD5217 – ATD5219 –ATD5289
PROBLEM: SOLUTION:
Warning: If the Air is connected to the pump, consider the pump to be live. Do
not attempt to work on the pump or the system without disconnecting the
Air Inlet and relieving pressure in the system, both air pressure and lube
pressure. Make sure there are no live air pockets in the air motor and all
air has been bled from the Air Motor.
Pump does not Operate Check In-Line Air Pressure to the pump. Recommended Air Pressure is 80 PSI
– 100 PSI.
Pump is Leaking Air Check the Inlet Air Nipple. Use Teflon tape to seal the threads at the Air Inlet.
Silicon is not recommended since it can escape into the interior of the Air
Motor and cause damage to the valves.
Check the Quick Disconnect Coupler connection to the Air Hose. Use Teflon
tape to seal the threads at the Connection
Pump blows air through the
Muffler
Check to see that the Air Inlet Nipple is installed in the correct location. Check
that the Brass Plug is installed in the Air Motor head and is not leaking air.
Question: Are you using a Filter / Regulator on the pump?
Answer: We strongly suggest the use of a Filter / Regulator on the pump. The Filter
should be a moisture evaporator with an automatic dump on it so water is
eliminated and purged from the air before entering the pump. If you do not
have a Filter / Regulator on the pump, chances are the pump head could be full
of water and this will corrode the inside of the pump and moving parts, thereby
reducing the life of the pump.
Pump does not pump material Check to see if there are any blockages in the Lubricant lines.
Pump operates, pumps
material but does not shut off.
Reason: Pump is not reaching stall pressure.
1: Check that all hoses, lubricant lines and controls valves are
connected and the connections are tight. There should be no leaks.
2: Check that the hoses are SAE approved Grease Hoses and made
for pumping High Pressure Grease.
DO NOT use Oil Hose or garden hose for pumping High Pressure Grease.
Air Motor on Pump operates
but no material comes out
1: Check the follower plate.
Make sure there are no air pockets in the grease underneath the follower plate.
Push down lightly on the follower plate to ensure a positive prime.
2: Check that all hoses and control valves are fully connected
3: Check to see that there are no blockages in the lines, hoses or control valves.
Pump, hoses and valves are
connected and pump does not
pump when I pull the trigger
on the control valve
