Description
Models 9917, 9917-57, 9946P and 9989
are air operated grease pumps designed to
pump low and medium viscosity materials,
(grease) from drums and pails. They are
high pressure pumps that are capable of
creating a maximum operating pressure of
5000 psi (345 bar) with 100 psi (7 bar) air.
All models include drum or pail covers, high
pressure hose, control valve, grease cou-
pling, and universal follower.
Model 9917 is for use with 120 lb (54 kg)
refinery containers and includes a caster
dolly base for portability. (Container drum is
not included.) Two high pressure swivels are
included, one straight swivel where the hose
connects to the pump, and a universal swiv-
el for connection between the hose and the
control valve († front cover figure).
Model 9917-57 is the same as the 9917,
above, but does not include the caster dolly
base († front cover figure).
Model 9946P is the same as the 9917,
above, but includes a two-wheel dolly truck
for portability instead of the caster dolly
base († front cover figure).
Model 9989 is for use with 35 lb
(16 kg) refinery pails and includes a pail cov-
er with handle for portability. One universal
swivel is included for connection between
the hose and control valve. No dolly base or
truck is included.

Purging and priming
the pump
When operating the pump for the first time,
or after changing lubricant containers, see
the instructions below.
1 Make sure there is sufficient lubricant in
the drum or pail.
2 Make sure that all hose and fitting
connections are tight and leak proof.
3 The use of an air filter, regulator, and lu-
bricator (F.R.L.) with these pumps is high-
ly recommended to control the pressure
of the lubricant and protect the pumping
system.
4 See the priming instructions in the pump
operation manual (†section A5,
page 83 series).
5 Apply enough air pressure to the pump so
that it operates slowly.
6 With lubricant in the pail, and the pump
operating slowly, direct the control valve
grease coupler into a suitable container,
and open the control valve. Hold the valve
open until grease, free of air, appears in
the container.
7 Close the control valve. If the pump is
properly primed, the pump should stall
(stop operating). If the pump continues to
run, repeat the above step until it does
stall.
8 After pump is fully primed, increase air
pressure to 100 psi (7 bar). As the pres-
sure is increased, the pump will cycle sev-
eral times as the lubricant pressure in-
creases and the hose expands. This is
normal. Check for leaks at all lubricant
connections. Be ready to disconnect the
air from the pump if a leak appears. Keep
clear of all connections and hoses until
pressure tightness is assured. Once maxi-
mum pressure is reached, the pump
should stop cycling.
9 Should a leak occur, disconnect the air
supply to the pump, relieve all pressure
from the pump, hoses, and control valve,
and correct the problem. Do not attempt
to stop a leak with pressure on the
system.
Operation
Inspect the entire lubrication pump and at-
tached hoses and valves before every use.
Do not operate this lubrication pump if any
damage appears to the pump or associated
components. Remove a damaged pump
from operation until proper repairs are
made. Contact a factory authorized service
center for parts or repairs.
1 Adjust the air pressure to the pump for an
operating pressure required for the job at
hand. Too much pressure can damage the
pump, associated components, or cause
damage to grease seals and other com-
ponents on the machinery that is to be
lubricated.
2 Make sure that the pump is fully primed
and free of air. Do not operate a pump if
the lubricant container is empty or low on
lubricant. A pump that runs out of lubri-
cant can cause air to enter the grease
system or a pump to run-away, or
increase operating speed to the point
where pump damage occurs. Air in the
lubricant lines under high pressure can
cause lubricant to be sprayed or splat-
tered resulting in a hazardous condition.
3 Once primed the pump is ready for use.
Adjust the air pressure to the pump for a
smooth flow of grease into the bearings
being serviced.
4 After all bearings have been serviced it is
important to remove air from the pump
and discharge the control valve and hoses
at the end of the day. Do not leave the
pump under pressure for extended
periods of time.
Perform pressure relief procedure after
operating the pump. Failure to comply
may result in personal injury.
Warning
8

Pressure Relief
Procedure
Always perform this procedure before ser-
vicing or when the pump is to be out of ser-
vice for a period of time.
• Disconnect the air supply from the pump
• Point the dispensing valve away from
yourself and others and direct into a suit-
able container.
• Open the dispensing valve into the con-
tainer and hold it open until the flow of
lubricant stops and pressure is relieved.
Lubrication and Care
of the Pump
In order to prevent dirt and moisture from
entering the pumps air motor, an air line fil-
ter, regulator, and lubricator are highly rec-
ommended for use with these pumps. This
also will provide automatic air motor
lubrication.
If an air lubricator is not used the follow-
ing procedure must be performed daily.
• Disconnect the air coupler from the pump
air inlet.
• Fill the coupler with SAE 10 motor oil and
reconnect the coupler to the air nipple.
To prevent corrosion, never leave water or
moisture in the pump’s air motor. This will
cause corrosion and shorten the life of the
air motor.
Prevent damage to the hose and control
valve by using the control valve hanger, or
coiling the hose around the pump when not
in use. Never kink the high pressure hose or
drive over the hose, as damage may weaken
the hose with the possibility of bursting.
A burst high pressure hose is a very danger-
ous occurrence, which can result in severe
injuries and or property damage.
