Personal Safety
To prevent injury follow, these instructions.
SDo not operate or service equipment unless you are qualified.
SDo not operate equipment unless safety guards, doors, or covers are
intact and automatic interlocks are operating properly. Do not bypass or
disarm any safety devices.
SKeep clear of moving equipment. Before adjusting or servicing moving
equipment, shut off the power supply and wait until the equipment
comes to a complete stop. Lock out power and secure the equipment to
prevent unexpected movement.
SRelieve (bleed off) hydraulic and pneumatic pressure before adjusting or
servicing pressurized systems or components. Disconnect, lock out,
and tag switches before servicing electrical equipment.
SWhile operating manual spray guns, make sure you are grounded.
Wear electrically conductive gloves or a grounding strap connected to
the gun handle or other true earth ground. Do not wear or carry metallic
objects such as jewelry or tools.
SIf you receive even a slight electrical shock, shut down all electrical or
electrostatic equipment immediately. Do not restart the equipment until
the problem has been identified and corrected.
SObtain and read Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all materials used.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safe handling and use of
materials, and use recommended personal protection devices.
SMake sure the spray area is adequately ventilated.
STo prevent injury, be aware of less-obvious dangers in the workplace
that often cannot be completely eliminated, such as hot surfaces, sharp
edges, energized electrical circuits, and moving parts that cannot be
enclosed or otherwise guarded for practical reasons.
High-Pressure Fluids
High-pressure fluids, unless they are safely contained, are extremely
hazardous. Always relieve fluid pressure before adjusting or servicing high
pressure equipment. A jet of high-pressure fluid can cut like a knife and
cause serious bodily injury, amputation, or death. Fluids penetrating the
skin can also cause toxic poisoning.
If you suffer a fluid injection injury, seek medical care immediately. If
possible, provide a copy of the SDS for the injected fluid to the health care
provider.

RhinorSD3/XD3 Hydraulic Section 3
Part 1611632−05
E2019 Nordson Corporation
The National Spray Equipment Manufacturers Association has created a
wallet card that you should carry when you are operating high-pressure
spray equipment. These cards are supplied with your equipment. The
following is the text of this card:
WARNING: Any injury caused by high pressure liquid can be serious. If
you are injured or even suspect an injury:
SGo to an emergency room immediately.
STell the doctor that you suspect an injection injury.
SShow them this card
STell them what kind of material you were spraying
MEDICAL ALERT—AIRLESS SPRAY WOUNDS: NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
Injection in the skin is a serious traumatic injury. It is important to treat the
injury surgically as soon as possible. Do not delay treatment to research
toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some exotic coatings injected directly into
the bloodstream.
Consultation with a plastic surgeon or a reconstructive hand surgeon may
be advisable.
The seriousness of the wound depends on where the injury is on the body,
whether the substance hit something on its way in and deflected causing
more damage, and many other variables including skin microflora residing
in the paint or gun which are blasted into the wound. If the injected paint
contains acrylic latex and titanium dioxide that damage the tissue’s
resistance to infection, bacterial growth will flourish. The treatment that
doctors recommend for an injection injury to the hand includes immediate
decompression of the closed vascular compartments of the hand to release
the underlying tissue distended by the injected paint, judicious wound
debridement, and immediate antibiotic treatment.
Fire Safety
To avoid a fire or explosion, follow these instructions.
SGround all conductive equipment. Use only grounded air and fluid
hoses. Check equipment and workpiece grounding devices regularly.
Resistance to ground must not exceed one megohm.
SShut down all equipment immediately if you notice static sparking or
arcing. Do not restart the equipment until the cause has been identified
and corrected.
SDo not smoke, weld, grind, or use open flames where flammable
materials are being used or stored.
SDo not heat materials to temperatures above those recommended by
the manufacturer. Make sure heat monitoring and limiting devices are
working properly.

Fire Safety (contd)
SProvide adequate ventilation to prevent dangerous concentrations of
volatile particles or vapors. Refer to local codes or your material SDS
for guidance.
SDo not disconnect live electrical circuits when working with flammable
materials. Shut off power at a disconnect switch first to prevent
sparking.
SKnow where emergency stop buttons, shutoff valves, and fire
extinguishers are located. If a fire starts in a spray booth, immediately
shut off the spray system and exhaust fans.
SShut off electrostatic power and ground the charging system before
adjusting, cleaning, or repairing electrostatic equipment.
SClean, maintain, test, and repair equipment according to the instructions
in your equipment documentation.
SUse only replacement parts that are designed for use with original
equipment. Contact your Nordson representative for parts information
and advice.

Theory of Operation
Standard Hydraulic Section
See Figure 3.
The standard hydraulic section has a shovel attached to the end of the
hydraulic plunger that projects into the center of the follower plate. The
shovel moves up and down with the plunger, helping to force material into
the hydraulic section. The hydraulic section pressurizes the material and
forces it out of the pump.
When the plunger strokes downward, the piston/upper check opens and the
lower check closes. Material between the upper and lower checks is forced
upward through the piston. The material above the upper check
pressurizes and flows out of the material output port.
During the upward pump stroke, the plunger and shovel are pulled upward
and the piston/upper check closes. The lower check opens and allows
material to pass into the lower pump chamber below the upper check. As
the plunger and piston move upward, material from the upper pump
chamber is forced out of the material outlet port.
The solvent chamber surrounds the plunger. The chamber contains solvent
chamber fluid that lubricates the plunger and packing gland seals. This fluid
keeps material from hardening on the plunger and minimizes wear on the
packing gland seals. The bleed valve is used to bleed air from the pump.
Low-Drag Hydraulic Section
The low-drag hydraulic section operates the same as the standard hydraulic
section, but is equipped with low-drag internal components to increase
efficiency. Low-drag hydraulic sections are required for air motors 160mm
in diameter and below.

AC Hydraulic Section
See Figure 4.
The AC hydraulic section has a two-piece shovel attached to the end of the
hydraulic plunger that projects into the center of the follower plate. The
shovel moves up and down with the plunger, helping to force material into
the hydraulic section. The hydraulic section pressurizes the material and
forces it out of the pump.
When the plunger strokes downward, the piston/upper check opens and the
lower check closes. Material between the upper and lower checks is forced
upward through the piston. The material above the upper check
pressurizes and flows out of the material output port. During the downward
stroke, the shovel check plate is forced away from the shovel to minimize
the potential for cavitation.
During the upward pump stroke, the plunger and shovel are pulled upward
and the piston/upper check closes. The shovel check plate closes on the
shovel and the lower check opens and allows material to pass into the lower
pump chamber below the upper check. As the plunger and piston move
upward, material from the upper pump chamber is forced out of the material
outlet port.
The solvent chamber surrounds the plunger. The chamber contains solvent
chamber fluid that lubricates the plunger and packing gland seals. This fluid
keeps material from hardening on the plunger and minimizes wear on the
packing gland seals.
