Grounding
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Before operating the pump, ground the
system as explained below. Also read
the section FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZ-
ARD on page 4.
Pump: Use a ground wire and clamp as shown in
Fig.1.
Air, and fluid hoses: Use only electrically conductive
hoses.
Air compressor: Follow manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Spray gun and dispensing valve: Ground through
connection to a properly grounded fluid hose and
pump.
Fluid supply container: Follow your local code.
Truck bed or platform: Follow your local code.
Solvent pails used when flushing: Follow your local
code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive,
placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the pail
on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or
cardboard, which interrupts the grounding
continuity.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure, hold a metal part of the
dispensing valve firmly to the side of a grounded
metal pail, then trigger the valve.
To ground the pump, remove the ground screw (Z)
and insert through the eye of the ring terminal at the
end of ground wire (Y). Fasten the ground screw back
onto the pump and tighten securely. Connect the other
end of the ground wire to a true earth ground. See Fig.

Pressure Relief Procedure
WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
Fluid under high pressure can be in-
jected through the skin and cause
serious injury. To reduce the risk of an
injury from injection, splashing fluid, or moving
parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
whenever you
Are instructed to relieve the pressure
Shut off the pump
Check or service any of the system equipment
1. Close the pump’s air regulator
2. Close the supply pump’s bleed-type master air
valve (required in this system).
3. Hold a metal part of the dispensing valve firmly to
a grounded metal waste container and open the
dispensing valve until pressure is fully relieved.
If you suspect that the dispensing valve, extension, or

Hose Kit parts drawing on page 18.
4. Install a bleed-type master air valve on the pump’s
air supply line. See the Typical Installation on
page 7.
WARNING
The bleed-type master air valve is required in your
system to relieve air trapped between this valve
and the pump after the air is shut off. Trapped air
can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly and
cause serious injury, including splashing in the
eyes or on the skin. Position the valve close to the
pump.
5. Install a fluid shutoff valve on the fluid supply line
to shut off fluid to the pump.
6. Finish assembling the hoses and fittings as shown
in Fig. 3 and the Parts Drawing on
page 16.
10 306556
Operation
CAUTION
Always close the ball valve (65) as soon as the
inductor plate reaches the bottom of the drum,
indicating the drum is empty. Allowing the pump to
run without fluid will cause damage to the pump.
Installing a Drum
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 6.
1. Relieve the Pressure.
2. Close the ball valve (65). The handle will be at a
90angle to the valve body.
3. Open the bleed-type master air valve (F).
4. Open the inductor plate vent by turning the
knob (10) counterclockwise.
5. Pull open the snap-over valve (27) to raise the
elevator.
NOTE: To adjust the elevator speed, turn the restrictor
valve screw (46) clockwise to decrease the speed or
counterclockwise to increase it.
6. Center an opened 400 pound drum under the
inductor plate so the drum bottom touches the
elevator base (A).
7. Make the top of the fluid concave by scooping fluid
from the center to the sides of the container.
8. Loosen the setscrews (73), holding pump
mounting plates to the mounting bracket (C). Align
the pump and inductor plate with the drum.
WARNING
Keep your fingers and hands away from the
sides of the drum or inductor plate to avoid
pinching them when raising and lowering the
pump.
9. Push in the snap-over valve (27) to lower the
pump while guiding the inductor plate into the
drum.
10. Press down on the pump and rock it back and
forth to seat the inductor plate. This helps
eliminate air trapped beneath the plate. Continue
this action until fluid appears at the vent
opening (D).
11. Be sure that the pump is aligned vertically, and
tighten the setscrews (73).
12. Close the inductor plate vent by turning the
knob (10) clockwise.
13. For Models 226013, 226018, and 244637 only:
Open the bleeder valve (94) at the pump outlet by
turning the thumbscrew counterclockwise. Open
the ball valve (65) until all air trapped in the pump
and under the plate are pumped through the valve.
Close the ball valve and the bleeder valve.
Regulate the pump speed with the ball valve
handle.
14. All Models: Always use the lowest possible pump
pressure necessary for good delivery. Higher
pressures cause premature pump wear and
usually do not produce better results.
