WARNING

Installation
3A6980A 5
Installation
Grounding
Pump: Always ground the entire fluid system by making
sure the fluid has an electrical path to a true earth
ground. Ground screws are provided on all pumps. The
ground screws are located on the bottom cover of the air
motor, under the shield on the 6:1 piston pump.
Air and fluid hoses: Use only electrically conductive
hoses with a maximum of 500 ft (150 m) combined hose
length to ensure grounding continuity. Check electrical
resistance of hoses. If the total resistance to ground
exceeds 25 megohms, replace the hose immediately.
Air compressors: Follow manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Dispense valve: Ground through connection to a
properly grounded fluid hose and pump.
Material supply container: Follow local code.
Container(s) that receive material: Follow local code.
Solvent pails used when flushing: Follow local code.
Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded
surface. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive
surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts
grounding continuity.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure: Hold the metal part of the dispense
valve firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then
trigger the valve.
Location
Position the ram so the air controls are easily
accessible. Ensure that there is sufficient overhead
clearance when the ram is fully raised. See Repair,
page 14.
Position the ram in an area with adequate access for
servicing and cleaning the equipment and adjacent
areas to maintain the required level of hygiene. Locate
equipment away from sources of air currents, dust, or
liquids derived from leakage, condensation, or aerosols.
Using the holes in the ram base as a guide, drill holes
for 1/2 in. (13 mm) anchors.
Check that the ram base is level in all directions. If
necessary, level the base using metal shims. Secure the
base to the floor using 1/2 in. (13 mm) anchors that are
long enough to prevent the ram from tipping.
The equipment must be grounded. Grounding reduces
the risk of static and electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electrical current due to static build
up or in the event of a short circuit.

Operation
Pressure Relief Procedure
1. Close the Air motor switch/slider valve (BF).
2. Turn the ram air regulator (BB) down to zero. Set
the ram director switch/valve (BC) to DOWN. The
the ram will slowly drop.
3. Jog the ram director switch/valve (BC) up and down
to bleed air from ram cylinders. When done, leave
the ram director valve in the neutral position.
4. Open the fluid drain valve (N) and/or dispensing
valve to relieve fluid pressure.
5. Close the main air valve (BA).
Flush Before First Use
The sanitary pump was assembled using sanitary
lubricant on moving parts and was tested in water. Flush
the pump thoroughly with an appropriate cleaning
solution or disassemble and sanitize the parts before
using the pump. See your separate pump manual for
complete flushing and cleaning procedures for a
sanitary pump. Check national, state, and local codes
for specific limitations.
Starting and Adjusting the Ram
1. On the exposed air controls, close all air regulators
and air valves.
2. Open the main bleed-type air valve (L).
3. Open the main air valve (BA), and set the ram air
regulator (BB) to 40 psi (2.8 bar, 0.28 MPa ). Set the
ram director switch/valve (BC) to UP and let the ram
rise to its full height.
4. Set a full drum of fluid on the ram base and center it
under the ram plate.
5. Remove the drum cover, and smooth the surface of
the fluid with a straightedge.
6. Secure the bag liner to the drum with tape or a strap
to prevent it from sliding into the drum.
7. Set the director valve to DOWN. Lower the ram until
the ram plate is about to enter the drum, and set the
valve to neutral. Reposition the drum as necessary
so the wiper seal does not hit the drum lip.
NOTE: To increase or decrease the speed of downward
travel on the ram plate, reduce the ram air pressure or
adjust the ram director switch/valve (BC).
8. Set the ram director switch/valve (BC) to DOWN,
and continue to lower the ram until the ram plate
contacts the fluid.
This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is
manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from
pressurized fluid, such as splashing fluid and moving
parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when
you stop dispensing and before cleaning, checking, or
servicing the equipment.
Remain clear of a moving ram to reduce risk of
serious injury of crushing from moving parts. Keep
hands and fingers away from the ram plate, pump
fluid inlet, and lip of the fluid container when raising or
lowering the ram to reduce risk of serious injury from
moving parts.
NOTICE
Do not use drums that have side bungs or large dents
with this ram. Rough bung openings or large dents will
damage the seal or stop the ram plate, resulting in a
runaway pump.
