1. Rigidly mount the Transporter to a solid surface using
these recommended bolt sizes:
Recommended Air Line
Connection to Eliminate Moisture
and Particles from Main Line
3. Fill the lubricator with a good grade of hydraulic oil such
as Shell Tellus 32 or equivalent. Set the lubricator for
one (1) drop per minute.
4. Connect the air line with exible poly-ow tubing into the
threaded inlet. On model TP3 use 1/4” tubing for 1/8” NPT.
Models TP10, TP40, TP70 and TP140 use
3/8” tubing for 1/4” NPT.
5. A custom ”U” prole tray or chute
must be designed to handle each
specic application or tool. Any
material can be used but we
recommend aluminum or any light
gauge material to reduce tray weight.
Maximum tray weight should not
exceed the following table data:
2. Air line requires use of an oil mist-type combination
lter/regulator/lubricator, and pressure gauge. Set pressure
to 4-5 bar (60-75 psi). Do not exceed 5.5 bar (80 psi) as
excess pressure will damage the Transporter.

6. Fasten the tray or chute to the Transporter with metric
screws at all holes. Be sure to use spacers or washers
between the Transporter and the tray to reduce contact friction
between the moving tray and the Transporter body.
Refer to the following table:

TP3 6 M6 8 mm
TP10 6 M6 8 mm
TP40 6 M8 9 mm
TP70 6 M8 8 mm
TP140 6 M8 8 mm
7. The conveyor tray or chute must be supported at both ends
to minimize vibration and deection. A block of Delrin GP-500
or Nylon, low friction material can be used for the tray to slide.

8. The speed adjustment is preset at the factory with the
correct frequency for a lightweight tray or chute. The speed
can be adjusted by turning the screw or knob clockwise to
decrease the movement on the models TP3, TP10 and TP40.
The TP70 and TP140 are adjusted by turning the screw or
knob counter-clockwise to decrease the movement.
Maximum speed is not required to move parts or scrap
e󰀩ciently.
9. If the TP40 speed frequency is inadequate, release the
air regulator rod 40-029 and gently push forward to increase
speed or backwards to decrease.
10. The TP10 may require a slight adjustment to maintain
proper speed frequency after a period of operation.
If speed adjustment screw 10-405 does not slow the unit
su󰀩ciently, it may be necessary to slightly snug the two
screws at the air regulator valve 10-603. This reduces the air
being released from the valve and decreases speed.
Snugging the screws too tightly will cause bending of the air
regulator rod and poor performance.
11. Spray the same Tellus oil used in lubrication on the
pistons every week.
12. If there is a build-up of sticky oil on the conveyor tray or if
the scrap parts are very oily, they may stick to the surface and
reduce movement. To reduce friction, try dimpling the surface
of the conveyor chute with a ballpeen hammer or use a
di󰀨erent material like expanded metal or proled, roll-formed
material.
Installation

TP 10 Service
Disassembly.
1. Remove the locking nuts 10-214 and the screws
10-210.
2. Pull out the front holder 10-202 together with the
air regulator rod & nut 10-604 and guide columns
10-203.
3. Pull out the rear holder 10-201 together with the
rear pistons 10-303.
4. Remove the air inlet 10-601 with an 8 mm hex
wrench.
5. Remove the nut 10-305 from the piston 10-302.
6. Remove the disc 10-311 from the valve rod
10-310 using a screwdriver at the screw 10-325,
and a 13 mm socket at the opposite end.
7. Remove the piston 10-606.
8. Carefully disassemble the piston 10-606.
9. Examine all springs, O-rings and valve discs for
damage and replace as needed.
Reassembly.
1. Note that the extension 10-324, inner disc 10-311
and valve rod 10-310 must be very straight and not
overtightened.
2. Assemble all components of the piston 10-606,
install it in the machine body, and add the outer disc
10-311.
3. If many parts have been replaced, the TP10
Transporter may require a brief run-in period before
nal adjustments are made.
Please note that some parts may
not be available because they
are not eld replaceable. If this
is the case, a subassembly must
be used. Some parts are only
available as a subassembly and
cannot be purchased individually.
Check the spare parts reference
lists for details.
