Mounting the Pump
For ease of operation and service, mount the pump so
the air inlet, fluid inlet, and fluid outlet ports are easily
accessible. The inlet port must point down and the outlet
port must point up.
Use 5/8 in. lag screws or bolts for mounting.
Wall Mount Installation
1. Wall Mount Kit 245875 is available. See FIG.1.
2. Be sure the wall can support the weight of the
pump, bracket, hoses and accessories, as well as
the stress caused during operation.
3. Using the wall bracket (B) as a template, drill 5/8 in.
mounting holes in the wall. See page 27 for a wall
mounting diagram. Mount the bracket 1.2-1.5 m (4-5
ft) above the floor.
4. Attach the bracket (B) to the pump (A) with the
screws (C) and washers (D) provided in the kit.
5. Attach the bracket to the wall. Use screws (E) that
are long enough to keep the pump from vibrating
during operation. Be sure the pump is level.

Air Line
1. Install the air line accessories as shown in FIG.3.
Mount these accessories on the wall or on a
bracket. Be sure the air line supplying the accesso-
ries is grounded.
a. Install an air regulator (C) and gauge to control
the fluid pressure. The fluid outlet pressure will
be three times the setting of the air regulator.
b. A bleed-type master air valve (B) is required in
your system to relieve air trapped between it
and the pump when the valve is closed. Trapped
air can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly
which could result in serious injury including
splashing in the eyes or on the skin, or injury
from moving parts. Be sure the bleed valve is
easily accessible from the pump, and is located
downstream from the air regulator.
c. The air line filter (D) removes harmful dirt and
moisture from the compressed air supply.
d. A second bleed-type air valve (T) isolates the air
line accessories for servicing. Locate upstream
from all other air line accessories.
2. Install a grounded, flexible air hose (A) between the
accessories and the pump air inlet. See Technical
Data on page 25 to determine the air inlet size of
your pump. Use a minimum 13 mm (1/2 in.) ID air
hose.
3. Screw an air line quick disconnect coupler (N) onto
the end of the air hose (A), and screw the mating fit-
ting into the pump air inlet snugly. Do not connect
the coupler to the fitting until you are ready to oper-
ate the pump.
Fluid Suction Line
• Use conductive hoses (E). See FIG.3.
• See Technical Data on page 25 to determine the
fluid inlet size of your pump.
• For maximum suction lift (wet and dry) information,
see Technical Data on page 25.
Fluid Outlet Line
1. Use conductive fluid hoses (J). See FIG.3.See
Technical Data on page 25 to determine the fluid
outlet size of your pump.
2. Install a fluid drain valve (G) near the fluid outlet.
The fluid drain valve is required to relieve pressure
in the hose and gun. The drain valve reduces the
risk of serious injury, including splashing in the eyes
or on the skin, or injury from toxic fluids.
3. Install a shutoff valve (H) in the fluid outlet line.

Loosen the grounding screw (X). Insert one end of a
1.5 mm2(12 ga) minimum ground wire (Y) into the
pump’s grounding clamp (8) and tighten the screw
(X) securely. Connect the other end of the wire to a
true earth ground. For a ground wire and clamp,
order Part No. 238909.
•Air and fluid hoses: Use only electrically conductive
hoses.
•Air compressor: Follow manufacturer’s recommen-
dations.
•Fluid supply drum: Follow your local code.
•All solvent pails used when flushing: Follow your
local code. Use only metal pails, which are conduc-
tive, placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the
pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or
cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continu-
ity.

Operation
Pressure Relief Procedure
1. Shut off the air to the pump.
2. Open the dispensing valve, if used.
3. Open the fluid drain valve to relieve all fluid pres-
sure, having a container ready to catch the drain-
age.
Flush the Pump Before First Use
The pump was tested in oil. If the oil could contaminate
the fluid you are pumping, flush the pump thoroughly
with a compatible solvent. Follow the steps under Start-
ing and Adjusting the Pump.
Starting and Adjusting the Pump
1. Be sure the pump is properly grounded. Refer to
Grounding on page 9.
2. Check all fittings to be sure they are tight. Be sure to
use a compatible liquid thread sealant on all male
threads.
3. Re-torque all screws and fasteners before startup.
Re-torque the fluid cover screws first, followed by
the manifold screws.
4. Place the suction tube (E) in the fluid to be pumped.
5. Place the end of the fluid hose (J), see FIG.3,into
an appropriate container.
6. Close the fluid drain valve (G). Open the fluid shutoff
valve (H).
7. With the pump air regulator (C) closed, open the
bleed-type master air valve (B).
8. If the fluid hose has a dispensing device, hold it
open while continuing with the following step.
9. Slowly open the air regulator (C) until the pump
starts to cycle. Allow the pump to cycle slowly until
all air is pushed out of the lines and the pump is
primed.
If you are flushing, run the pump long enough to thor-
oughly clean the pump and hoses. Close the air regula-
tor. Remove the suction tube (E) from solvent and place
it in the fluid to be pumped.
Pump Shutdown
Short Term Shutdown
For a short term shutdown, relieve the pressure (see at
left).
Long Term Shutdown
For a long term shutdown, such as several hours or
overnight:
1. Flush the pump thoroughly.
2. Leave compatible solvent in the pump.
3. Relieve the pressure (see at left).
Read the warnings on page 3, and follow the Pres-
sure Relief procedure below whenever you:
• are instructed to relieve pressure
• stop spraying
• check or service any of the equipment
• install or clean the fluid nozzle.
Operating the pump beyond the maximum air
input pressure will decrease diaphragm life.
Do not operate the pump dry for long periods of
time to avoid reducing diaphragm life.
