MODEL NOS. 2710 & 2740
PUMP & HOIST ASS’Y
MODEL NOS. 274680 & 274681
400 LB. DRUM SIZE AIR OPERATED, MANUALLY CONTROLLED
Form 402074
INSTALLATION:
1. Select a location where there is adequate clearance around
the hoist to operate and maneuver around the hoist and
pump assembly when installing and removing drums.
2. The mounting base must be securely fastened to the floor
before use. Mounting dimensions are provided on Base
Mounting Dimensions illustration (See Illustration 3), or the
base may be used as a template for drilling and positioning
anchors.
3. After hoist has been secured to the floor adjust the pump
support, item 56, so that it is parallel to the floor. This will
keep the pump tube parallel with the support tube.
4. Mount pump to pump mount (item 29 or 53) depending on
model.
When attaching the Series 40 pumps to the mount, (item
53), attach pump outlet body to pump mount with four ¼-20
x 9/16 hex screw and washer assemblies, item 54. See
Series 40 Assembly Details.
When attaching the Power Master Pump to the mount,
item 29, use four extension adapters, item 40. See Power
Master III Assembly Details. Note that the extension adapt-
ers are threaded onto the pump tie rods against the tie rod
nuts, as shown in the illustration.
5. Place pump and mount into pump support, item 56, and
loosely install hex bolts, lock washers, and flat washers,
items 4, 5, &6, through slots in support. Leave loose until
final adjustment is made.
6. Assemble air inlet fittings as shown in the appropriate as-
sembly detail page for the model that is being assembled.
Assemble the air regulator, item 44, to the air inlet of the
hoist as shown in the illustration. Note that there is a 1/8
pipe plug packaged with each regulator for plugging the
unused gage port in the regulator.
7. After all fittings are assembled and tight measure and cut
a length of ¼ OD black polyurethane tubing, supplied, to
connect the air inlet to the regulator inlet as shown in the il-
lustrations. The tubing will simply push fit into the ¼ fittings
included with the model.
8. Assemble the air hose to the air coupler as required for the
model assembled. (Note that the air coupler for the Power
Master Air Motor is supplied with the air motor.) Make sure
the ball valve, item 35 or 45, is closed and the hoist control
valve, item 10, should be placed in the down position, and
attach air hose to source of filtered, regulated air. The air
pressure should be set initially to about 40 PSI.
9. Adjust the hoist air regulator, item 44, for a pressure of
around 30-40 PSI. Check for air leaks in all connections.
Slowly move the hoist control valve, item 10, to the raised
position and raise pump so the end of the pump tube will
clear the primer assembly.
Failure to securely fasten the base to the floor may result
in severe injury and or property damage. Pump hoist may
topple over if not securely fastened.
10. Attach the primer assembly to the end of the pump tube.
When assembling the Power Master Pump tube to the fol-
lower, apply some grease to the end of the pump tube, and
the O-rings inside the follower assembly. Lower the end
of the pump tube into the follower until the pump tube is
flush with the bottom of the follower. Tighten the three hex
screws, item 24, on the follower until tight.
When assembling the Series 40 pump to the follower, a
reducing adapter is used, item 55. Apply some grease to
the outside of the adapter and the O-rings on the inside
of the adapter and the inside of the follower. Push the
adapter into the follower assembly until it seats against the
shoulder. Tighten the three hex bolts on the follower, item
24, securely. Apply some grease to the end of the pump
tube and slide into the reducing adapter, item 55, until the
pump tube is flush with the bottom of the follower. Tighten
the three set screws, item 32, securely.
11. Raise the follower high enough to clear an open 400# con-
tainer. Place the container under the follower and slide the
drum back on the mounting base, item 8, until it is against
the two gusset plates on the base. Adjust the position of
the pump with respect to the drum by sliding the pump
mount (item 29 or 53) in the pump support, item 56, until
the follower is centered over the open drum. Tighten the
hex bolts, item 4, through the slots in the pump support to
secure the pump mount.
12. Using the remaining polyurethane tubing, attach to the
open fitting on the 2-way air valve, item17, mounted on the
pump support, item56, by pushing one end of the tube into
the fitting until secure. Thread the tubing down along the
pump tube to the fitting, item 1, in the top of the follower as-
sembly. Secure the tubing to the pump tube with two nylon
wire ties, supplied with the assembly.
13. Check for proper air flow by pressing button on 2-way air
valve, item17, making sure that air flows through check
valve, item 30, and out under follower assembly.
14. Connect fluid hoses to pump outlet.
Power Master Pumps are supplied with a 3/8” ID high
pressure hose with ½ NPT female threaded connections.
Thread a ¾ NPT x ½ NPT bushing adapter, item 36, into
the pump outlet and tighten securely. Thread a ½ NPT hex
nipple, item 34, into the bushing and tighten securely. At-
tach the high pressure hose, item 50, to the hex nipple and
tighten for leak free fit.
Series 40 pumps are supplied with a ¼” ID high pressure
hose, item 52, with 33/64 female thread on both ends. Two
male adapters, item 48, are supplied to adapt the hose to
¼ NPT male for the pump outlet, and working end of the
hose. Insert the hose adapters, item 48, into each end of
the high pressure hose and tighten securely for leak proof
seal. Thread one end of the hose into the pump outlet and
tighten securely. Attach the other end as required for the
application.
