FIRST AID RULES
.
It is strictly forbidden to hold or transport the system by means of the hoses
connected to it.
The device is designed to pump fluid at high pressures. Directing the flow
towards any part of the body is strictly prohibited and may cause severe
injury.
WARNING
Poor ventilation, naked flames and sparks can give rise to hazardous
conditions, and cause fires, explosions and serious injuries.
The device is NOT anti-explosive type.
The device must be installed outside areas at risk of explosion.
Do not install in areas where inflammable vapors may be present.
Make sure that hoses are not routed close to high-traffic areas, sharp
edges, moving parts or hot surfaces. Use hoses within a temperature range
of -°C to +°C.
WARNING
Before proceeding, make sure you can install the product in a ventilated
area, free from hazards for operators and equipment.
Before carrying out any inspection or maintenance operations, always shut
off the air and discharge the pressure from the circuit by following the
decompression and draining procedure.
In the event of problems deriving from INJECTION, INHALATION,
INGESTION or contact of the handled product with the EYES or SKIN,
consult the respective SAFETY DATA SHEET.
Hazardous fluids and toxic fumes can cause serious or fatal injuries.

INSTALLATION
.
¦ The “PIUSI P .PIUSIP” dispensing system is for professional use
only.
¦ According to the current legislation, the “PIUSI P .PIUSIP”
dispensing system must be installed in premises that are sufficiently well-lit.
¦ It is compulsory to adhere completely to the safety and fire regulations in
force in the place of installation.
ATTENTION
All installations must be carried out by authorised and competent
personnel only. Authorised persons must:
¦ install the system in dry and well-ventilated place;
¦ ensure the correct installation of equipment required for the
correct functioning of the pump.
Altering or modifying the dispensing device is strictly forbidden. PIUSI
S.p.A. accepts no responsibility for damage to persons, property or the
environment caused by failure to comply with this requirement.
The installer is responsible for equipping the system with the required
accessories for safe and correct operation of the device. The selection
of accessories unsuitable for use may cause serious damage/injury to the
device and/or individuals.
Do not use the device if important parts of the device, accessories or
safety devices are damaged. Make the necessary replacements and repairs
immediately.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to replace the oil delivery nipple with other
commercial connectors
WARNING
Foreword The “PIUSI P .PIUSIP” dispensing system is designed and
predisposed for wall-mounting (ST versions) or mounting directly
on the oil drum ( versions). In both cases, however, it must be
mounted in a secure, stable manner.

Fix the pump casing securely to the wall (ST version) using a suitable bracket,
or fix it to the lid of the drum ( version), inserting it completely with pick-
up hose and tightening the fixing screws. Then connect the pump to the air
line, making sure that the components shown in the figure are present.
Fixing the
dispensing
system
¦ The air accessories must be fied with suitable support brackets. The
pump unit fiings can be damaged by the weight of the accessories in the
line.
¦ Installations which fail to comply with diagram do not guarantee correct
operation of the pump.
¦ Air delivery pressures over 7 bar may damage the pump and system.
WARNING

15 /124
EN
This manual is the property of PIUSI S.p.A. Any reproduction, even partial, is forbidden.
PIUSI P 3.5 - PIUSI P 5.5
Never operate the pump if it is not correctly installed and fixed. Doing so can cause serious
damage to the device and fiings.
WARNING
For correct operation of the pump unit and to ensure operator safety,
it is obligatory to fit devices designed to reduce the risk of injury by
fluid injection, splashing, etc.
1The circuit MUST, OF NECESSITY, be equipped with bleed ball
valves upstream of the pump unit. These devices make it possible
to close stretches of line and discharge the compressed air trapped
in them. Trapped air can cause the pump to start suddenly and
unexpectedly, with the consequent risk of severe injuries.
7The circuit MUST NECESSARILY be equipped with a max.
pressure safety valve on the oil distribution system, immediately aer the
pump unit. The system makes it possible to discharge hazardous excess
pressure caused by the thermal expansion of the fluid.
3We recommend that you fit a pressure regulator with pressure
gauge, so that you can monitor pump speed and pressure with
complete ease.
5Running the pneumatic motor too fast can cause serious damage.
The presence of a safety valve ensures that the flow can be shut off if the
set pressure is exceeded.
4For applications involving intensive use, we recommend that you fit
an automatic lubricator in the line so as to maximise the service life of the
pneumatic motor. Use only oil for pneumatic tools or SAE engine oil.
Set the lubricator to dispense a maximum of one drop every  minutes.
2The presence of an air filter upstream of the pump unit helps remove
dirt and contaminants, thus extending the service life of the pneumatic
motor.

We recommend that you adjust the pressure to the minimum quantity of
air necessary to obtain the desired dispensing results. Take the utmost care
when adjusting the pressure.
Normal use
. OPERATION
Aer initial priming, if the air line is open, opening the dispensing valve will
immediately start the pneumatic pump. Closing the dispensing valve will stop
the pneumatic pump.
NOTE
First use To make optimum use of the pneumatic pump, we strongly
recommend that you follow the procedure set out below. This
reduces risks for the operator. Aer installation of the product, the
starting state must involve closure of all the ball valves in the air line,
and closure of the dispensing device and the pressure regulator
with pressure gauge.
Opening the
air line Keeping the pressure regulator in the closed position, open the air
line ball valves in sequence. Then keep the dispensing valve open
over a suitable metal container to receive the fluid from it once the
system is primed. Take extreme care and keep the dispensing nozzle
in contact with the wall of the container. We also recommend that
you wear personal protective equipment.
Opening the
pressure and
priming
Slowly open the pressure regulator with pressure gauge, as gradually
as possible. Monitor the pressure by means of the pressure gauge
indicator and wait until you hear the pneumatic pump come into
operation to allow priming. As soon as all the air in the fluid line has
been expelled and the dispensing valve has started dispensing, close
the dispensing valve.
The system supplies fluids at high pressure, such a pressure as to be a
source of danger for the operator. Supply with caution the first time, and in
conditions of maximum safety, in order to acquire a correct perception of
the operation of the system.
Interrupt supply immediately if there are sparks or electrical discharge.
WARNING

18 /124
Installation, use and maintenance
M0352A EN
Using the pump unit in a dry state, i.e. with no fluid or with insufficient fluid, can damage it
irreparably. Dry pumping increases the operating speed of the pneumatic motor, resulting
in overheating and possible failure.
If operating at low temperatures, we recommend that you use systems to protect against
the formation of ice.

ATTENTION
MAINTENANCE
.
Safety instructions The system is designed and manufactured to require minimal
maintenance. Before carrying out any maintenance operation, it is
imperative to decompress the dispensing system with the aid of the
bleed ball valves. It is strictly forbidden to carry out any maintenance
operation if the circuit contains compressed air capable of causing the
pump to start suddenly.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn when carrying out
maintenance work.
Take account of the following minimum recommendations for correct
operation of the pump.
Authorised
maintenance
personnel
All maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel. Tampering
can lead to performance degradation, danger to persons and/or
property and may result in the warranty being voided.
Measures to be
taken Make sure that the label affixed to the dispensing system does not
deteriorate over time or come off.
EVERY DAY:
¦ check that the hoses are in sound condition.
ONCE A YEAR:
¦ check the components of the air circuit.
