1.0 SAFETY WARNINGS
Please read and observe all warnings contained in this operations manual before any attempt
to operate the equipment.
Misuse of Equipment
Misuse of the Equipment can cause serious injury. Use the equipment only for its intended
purpose. Care should be taken to prevent over pressurization of the pump or accessories
connected to it. Use only proper parts in good condition. Use the pump only with compatible
fluids. Improper use or misuse of this equipment could result in fluid being splashed on the skin
or in the eyes, serious bodily injury, property damage, fire or explosion.
Make daily check on the equipment and repair damaged or worn parts immediately.
Do not alter this equipment, doing so could cause it to function incorrectly and could cause
serious injury.
Material & Fluid compatibility
Always ensure the chemical compatibility of the fluids and solvents with the wetted parts in the
pump and any components. Check the fluid manufacturer’s data sheets and specifications
before using the fluids or solvents in this pump.
Pressurized Hoses
Because the hoses are pressurized, they present a danger should the fluid escape at high
pressure. This escaping fluid pressure can spray out and cause serious bodily injury or
property damage. Ensure that the hoses do not leak or rupture due to wear, misuse or
damage.
The hoses should be handled properly - do not pull on the hoses to move the equipment
around. Use the hoses only for fluids in which they are compatible both for the inner liner of the
hose and the outer covering. Use care not to exceed the temperature rating of the hose.
Before each use, ensure that the fluid couplings are tight and that the entire length of hose is
not worn or damaged. Check the entire hose for leaks, bulging cover, damage, abrasion or
cuts. These conditions may cause the hose to fail that could result in splashing of pressurized
fluid on the skin, or in the eyes and cause serious bodily injury or property damage.
Pressure Specification
The maximum working fluid pressure of this equipment is 180 psi (12.5bar) at the maximum
incoming air pressure of 180 psi (12.5bar). Ensure all equipment and accessories used with
this pump are rated to withstand the maximum working pressure of this pump. Never exceed
the maximum working pressure of the pump or any device attached to the pump.
Procedure for Pressure Relief
In order to avoid the risk of serious bodily injury such as splashing fluid on the skin or in the
eyes, or risk of injury from moving parts, the following procedure should be used. This
procedure should be used when shutting down the pump, when servicing or repairing the
pump or any part of the system, when replacing or cleaning components, or when pumping of
fluid is stopped.
1. Close the air valve to the pump.

5
2. Use the air bleed down valve (see installation instructions) to relieve the air pressure in
the system.
3. Relieve the fluid pressure by holding a grounded metal pail in contact with the metal
part of the fluid dispense valve and slowly opening the valve.
4. With a container ready to catch the fluid open the drain valve (see installation
instructions).
5. It is a good practice to leave the drain valve open until it is time to dispense fluid again.
If you are unsure that the fluid pressure has been relieved (due to a blockage in a component
or a hose) be careful to relieve the pressure by slowly loosening the hose end coupling to allow
the fluid pressure to escape slowly. After the pressure has been relieved, the fitting can be
removed completely and any blockages removed.
Hazards from Fire or Explosion
Hazards exist when sparks can ignite vapors or fumes from flammable or combustible
materials or other hazardous conditions (explosive dusts, etc.). These sparks can be created
from plugging in or unplugging an electrical supply cord. Sparks can also be created from the
static electricity generated by the flow of fluid through the pump and hose.
Every part of the equipment must be properly grounded to prevent static electricity from
generating a spark and causing the pump or system to become hazardous. These sparks can
cause a fire, explosion, and serious bodily injury and property damage. Ensure that the pump
and all components and accessories are properly grounded and that electrical supply cords
are not plugged in or unplugged when these hazards exist.
Should any evidence of static electricity (sparks or small shocks while in contact with the
equipment) exists, discontinue the operation immediately. Investigate the source of the static
electricity and correct the grounding problem. Do not use the system until the grounding
problem is repaired.
Grounding Procedures
Grounding of the pump and all other dispensing equipment is necessary to minimize the
possibility of sparks due to static electricity. Grounding must be in compliance with local
electrical codes. Check with the local authorities for requirements in your area and with the
type of equipment being used. Ensure that all the following equipment is grounded:
1. Air Compressor: Follow the grounding procedures as recommended
by the manufacturer.
2. Air Hoses: Use grounded air hoses.
3. Fluid Container used to
supply the system: Grounding must be done according to local codes.
4. Pump: Follow the procedures included referring to Figure 1.
5. Fluid Hoses: Use grounded fluid hoses.
6. Dispensing Valve: The valve must be metal to conduct through the fluid hose to
the pump which must be properly grounded.
7. Dispensing Point: Grounding must be done according to local codes.

6
8. Solvent Containers: Grounding must be done according to local codes. Use
metal conductive pails that are properly grounded.
9. Grounding while Maintain conductivity by firmly holding the metal part of the
dispensing, cleaning, dispensing valve to the side of a grounded metal container.
or relieving:
FIGURE 1
Grounding the Pump:
Follow these procedures for grounding the pump. Loosen the lock screw (W) to allow insertion
of one end of a 12 ga. (1.5 mm2) minimum size wire into the hole in the side of the lug (Z).
Insert the wire (Y) and tighten the lock screw securely. The other end of the ground wire must
be secured to a true earth ground.
Hose Grounding:
It is very important that the hoses used for both air and the fluid be a grounding type and that
this ground continuity is maintained. Regular checks of the hose ground resistance (with a
resistance meter using a suitable range) and a comparison to the Manufacturer’s Specification
will ensure the ground is within specifications. If it is not within specified limits it should be
replaced immediately.
Solvent Cleaning:
While cleaning the system with solvent, hold the metal part of the dispensing valve in contact
with a grounded metal pail to minimize the possibility of splashing fluid on the skin or in the
eyes or static sparks. Use low fluid pressure for additional safety.
Hazards From Moving Parts:
Use the Pressure Relief Procedure (page 9) to prevent the pump from starting unintentionally
when not desired. Please observe that moving parts present a pinching hazard to fingers or
other body parts. Always stay clear of moving parts when starting or operating the pump.
Safety Standards:
Safety standards have been established by the United States Government under the
Occupational Safety and Health Act. These standards should be consulted as they apply to the
hazards and type of equipment being used.

2.0 INSTALLATION
FIGURE 2
Figure 2 depicts a typical installation provided as a guide for your reference. Select and install
optional accessories required. Feel free to call an IPM representative or the IPM Technical
Department for assistance.

2.1 Mounting Configuration
Install the necessary accessories in sequence using Figure 2 as a guide. An Air Control Valve
(K) for Controlling air flow is required with the equipment. To minimize the risk of serious bodily
injury such as splashing fluid on the skin or in the eyes; or risk of injury from moving parts,
install the following accessories in your system.
1. Bleed-off master air valve (D)
This valve will relieve the air trapped within the system after the pump is stopped. Air
that is trapped between this valve and the pump can cause the pump to reciprocate
unintentionally, which may cause harm to the operator.
2. Fluid Drain Valve (G)
The fluid drain valve (use a metal valve for grounding purposes) is installed to relieve
fluid pressure in the pump, hose or the dispensing valve when the pump is stopped. The
relief of pressure by the dispensing valve, which at times is inadequate if there is a clog
or restriction in the hose or the dispensing valve, can be achieved by using the fluid
drain valve (G).
3. Low level cut-off valve or runaway safety valve
The low level cut-off valve should be installed at the fluid intake port of the pump. It
shuts off the fluid intake when the fluid level is too low, causing the pump to stall. This is
to prevent the pump from running empty. If not, then a runaway safety valve should be
installed. This valve shuts off the air supply to the pump if the pump accelerates beyond
the pre-set value when the fluid level is too low and the pump is pumping air, or there is
insufficient fluid for normal pump operation.
Connect an air lubricator (C). The lubricator provides proper lubrication to the air motor. (see
daily maintenance check). Next, install a bleed-off master air valve (D). This valve is required
in your system to relieve trapped air (as explained above).
Air Filter (E) helps to remove dirt and foreign particles from the supply air, water moisture also
will be trapped within this filter. Be sure to release the trapped water daily as a good
housekeeping practice (Also see daily maintenance check). Connect a grounded air supply
hose for the supply of air.
For the fluid section, connect one fluid drain valve (G) directly after the outlet of the pump. Be
sure to connect it pointing downwards for safety. Connect a grounded fluid hose (M) to the fluid
outlet 3/4” NPTF.
Grounding of the pump and accessories are to be ensured before operation. Observe all
OSHA regulations and other safety regulations.

3.0 OPERATION
Start up and Adjustment of the Pump (Refer figure 2, page 7)
Ensure that installation is fully completed before proceeding to start up operations.
1. Ensure that the air control valve (K) is closed. Open the bleed-type master air valves
(D). Connect the quick disconnect coupler to the male fitting.
2. Into a grounded metal container, open the dispensing valve (G) slowly. Ensure metal-to-
metal contact between the container and the valve.
3. Adjust the pump air control valve (K) slowly for pressure just enough to start running the
pump. This is to prime all air within the system. After all the air has been expelled from
the lines, close the dispensing valve. During the priming of the pump, the pump runs
when the dispensing valve is opened and stop when the valve is closed.
4. Turn the air regulator slowly until sufficient flow from the dispensing valve is achieved.
Remember to run the pump always at the lowest possible speed necessary to achieve
what is desired. Never exceed the maximum working pressure of any component in the
system.
5. The pump should not be left to run dry of the fluid being pumped. When running empty,
the pump speed will become very fast and probably cause damage. During operation,
should the pump be found to run too fast, stop it immediately and check the fluid supply.
Is the fluid level in the drum too low or empty? If air has gone into the system, do a
priming procedure. Ensure that all air has been expelled from the lines before beginning
operations again. Flush the pump or leave it filled with a compatible solvent when not in
use.
6. Always follow the Pressure Relief Procedure should the pump be put away for any
period of time or during system shut off at the end of the day.
Daily Maintenance Check
1. Ensure sufficient lubricant in the air lubricator.
2. Drain the moisture trapped in the air pressure regulator.
Clean and flush the pump thoroughly with care and appropriate cleaning fluid to obtain
maximum service life of the equipment.
Procedure For Pressure Relief
In order to avoid the risk of serious bodily injury such as spraying fluid on the skin or in the
eyes, or risk of injury from the moving part, the following procedure should be used. This
procedure should be used when shutting down the pump, servicing or repairing the pump or
any part of the system, replacing or cleaning components, or if the pumping of fluid has
stopped.
1. Close the air valve (D) of the pump.
2. Use the air bleed down valve (see installation instructions) to relieve the air
pressure in the system.

10
Warning
To reduce the risk of static sparking, splashing fluid in the eyes or on the
skin, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure before flushing.
For your safety, read the Fire or Explosion Hazard before flushing and
follow all the recommendations furnished.
3. Relieve the fluid pressure by holding a grounded metal pail in contact with metal
part of the fluid dispense valve (G) and slowly opening the valve.
4. With a container ready to catch the fluid open the drain valve (G) (see installation
instructions).
5. It is a good practice to leave the drain valve (G) open until it is time to dispense
fluid again.
If you are unsure that the fluid pressure has been relieved due to a blockage in a component
or a hose, relieve pressure by slowly loosening the hose end coupling to allow the fluid
pressure to escape. After the pressure has been relieved, the fitting can be removed
completely and any blockages removed.
Flush the Pump before Using It
1. The pump is tested with lightweight DOP oil, which is left in to protect the pump parts. If
the fluid you are pumping may contaminated by oil, Flush out the oil with a compatible
solvent before using the pump. Follow the Flushing Instruction below:
2. If you are pumping fluid that dries, hardens or sets up, flush the system with a
compatible solvent as often as necessary to prevent build-up of dried fluid in the pump
or hoses.
3. If the pump is being used to supply a circulating system, allow the solvent to circulate
through the entire system for at least 30 minutes every 48 hours- more often if
necessary to prevent any undesired settling.
4. Always fill the wet-cup 1/2 full of Throat Seal Liquid (TSL) or a compatible solvent to
keep the fluid from drying on the displacement rod and/or damaging the pump throat
packing.
5. Lubricate the throat packing frequently when you are pumping a non-lubricating fluid, or
are shutting down for more than a few days.
Shut down & care of the Pump
For overnight shut down, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 9. Always stop the
pump at bottom of the stroke to prevent the fluid from drying on the exposed displacement rod,
which could damage the throat packing.
