Warnings
The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The exclama-
tion point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When
these symbols appear in the body of this manual or on warning labels, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific
hazard symbols and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual where
applicable.
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
When flammable fluids are present in the work area, such as gasoline and windshield wiper fluid, be
aware that flammable fumes can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:
• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
• Eliminate all ignition sources, such as cigarettes and portable electric lamps.
• Keep work area free of debris, including rags and spilled or open containers of solvent and gasoline.
• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.
• Ground all equipment in the work area.
• Use only grounded hoses.
•Stop operation immediately if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock.Do not use equipment
until you identify and correct the problem.
• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system
component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.
• Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Technical Data in all
equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings. For complete information
about your material, request MSDS from distributor or retailer.
• Do not leave the work area while equipment is energized or under pressure.
• Turn off all equipment and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when equipment is not in use.
• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine manu-
facturer’s replacement parts only.
• Do not alter or modify equipment. Alterations or modifications may void agency approvals and create
safety hazards.
• Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which you are using it.
• Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.
• Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces.
• Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.
• Keep children and animals away from work area.
• Comply with all applicable safety regulations.

Warnings
4307878Y
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from dispensing device, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This
may look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical
treatment.
• Do not point dispensing device at anyone or at any part of the body.
• Do not put your hand over the fluid outlet.
• Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
• Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop dispensing and before cleaning, checking, or
servicing equipment.
• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
• Check hoses and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD
Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled, or
swallowed.
• Read MSDSs to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.
• Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable guidelines.
• Always wear chemically impermeable gloves when spraying, dispensing, or cleaning equipment.

Grounding
Ground all of this equipment:
• Pump: Use a ground wire and clamp as shown in
FIG. 1. Remove the ground screw (Z) and insert
through the eye of the ring terminal at end of ground
wire (Y). Fasten the screw back onto the pump and
tighten securely. Connect the other end of the
ground wire to a true earth ground. To order a
ground wire and clamp, order P/N 222011.
• Air and fluid hoses: Use only grounded hoses.
• Air compressor: Follow manufacturer’s recommen-
dations.
• Fluid supply container: Follow the local code.
• To maintain ground continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure, always hold a metal part of the
fun firmly to the side of a grounded metal waste con-
tainer, then trigger the gun.
Models 225773, 225827, 240883,

on page 13. Secure the truck pail (5) to the truck
base with the pointed hold-down clamps (3c) and
thumb nuts (3d).
2. Models 225827 and 240884 only : Remove the
fluid outlet adapter included with the pump, and
screw the holster (6) into the pump outlet, using
thread sealant.
3. Remove the cover (4) from the pail of lubricant.
Place the pail of lubricant into the truck pail.
4. Secure the cover (4) on the pail with three thumb-
screws (A).
5. Insert the pump riser tube through the top of the

The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking and electric shock. Electric or static
sparking can cause fumes to ignite or explode.
Improper grounding can cause electric shock.
Grounding provides an escape wire for the electric
current.

Air Line and Accessories
NOTE: Install air line accessories in the order shown in
the Typical Installation.
• Install a pump runaway valve (G) to shut off the air
to the pump if the pump accelerates beyond the
pre-adjusted setting. A pump that runs too fast can
be seriously damaged.
• Install an air line lubricator (F) for automatic air
motor lubrication.
• Install a bleed-type master air valve (H) to relieve air
trapped between the valve and the motor when the
valve is closed.
• Install the air regulator (C) to control pump speed
and pressure.
• On the main air supply line from the compressor,
install an air line filter (E) to remove harmful dirt and
contaminants from the compressed air supply.
•For Models 240880 through 240886, install the
provided air regulator/safety valve (K) at the pump
air inlet with the nipple (7a, also included).
Operation
Pressure Relief Procedure
1. Shut off the air to the pump.
2. Bleed off the air pressure by closing the air regulator
(self-relieving type), or closing the bleed-type mas-
ter air valve installed upstream of the air regulator,
or disconnecting the air supply hose at the
quick-disconnect.
3. Hold a metal part of the gun or valve firmly to the
side of a grounded metal waste container and trig-
ger to relieve fluid pressure.
Start-up: Single or Multiple
Pump Systems
1. Close the air regulator and bleed-type master air
valves to all but one pump.
2. Open the master air valve from the compressor.
3. For the pump which is connected, trigger the dis-
pensing valve into a grounded metal waste con-
tainer, making firm metal-to-metal contact between
the container and valve.
4. Open the bleed-type master air valve, and open the
pump air regulator slowly until the pump is running.
When the pump is primed and all air has been
pushed out of the lines, release the trigger.
5. If you have more than one pump, repeat this proce-
dure for each pump.
NOTE: When the pump is primed, and with sufficient air
supplied, the pump starts when the dispensing valve is
opened and shuts off when it is closed.
Trapped air can cause the air motor to cycle
unexpectedly, causing serious injury if you are
adjusting or repairing the pump. Follow the Pressure
Relief Procedure on page 10.
NOTICE
Avoid hanging air accessories directly on the pump
air inlet. The fittings are not strong enough to support
the accessories and may cause one or more to
break. If accessories must be installed directly on the
pump, provide a bracket on which to mount them.
