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:

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 140 Service
Disassembly.
1. Remove the nut 70-216 from the front pistons
70-601 and 140-601 and push the pistons inside
the cylinder.
2. Remove the eight (8) 70-410 screw with a T40
torx wrench. Loosen the eight (8) set screws
70-436. There is no need to remove the set screws.
3. Pull the front and rear holders away from the
machine body while holding the guide assemblies
to prevent the bearings from being lost. The rear
pistons 70-602 and 140-602 and shock absorbers
70-407 will come out with the rear holder. The
speed adjustment assembly will come out with the
front holder.
4. Remove the front retaining plate 140-404. The
front pistons can now be removed from the machine
body.
5. Remove sleeve 140-326 and pull out the speed
adjustment valve 140-308.
6. Unscrew the valve discs 40-010 and pull the
seals out. Check all seals and O-rings for damage.
Make sure the valve discs are at and that valve
rod 70-603 is straight.
Reassembly.
1. Install speed adjustment valve 140-308 and
tighten sleeve 140-326. Do not overtighten.
2. Use the 70-436 set screws to adjust any
looseness in the slide assembly before tightening
the screws 70-410.
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.
