OPERATION
1. Ensure the filter and all connections have been tightened before operation.
2. Place the motor onto the drive coupling on the top of the pump and secure it by
threading the handwheel onto the motor.
3. Ensure that the smaller drum plug has been removed or that the drum is fitted with a
breather to prevent the drum from collapsing during operation
4. Before connecting the pump motor to the power or air supply, be sure the switch is in
the off position “0” or that the regulated air supply is not above 100 psi.
5. Plug the motor into the correct power outlet as specified on the motor tag and or
connect an airline to the pneumatic motor.
6. Remove the dust cap from the end of the fill nozzle.
7. Turn the electrical switch to the on position indicated on the handle of the motor or
squeeze the trigger of the pneumatic motor to begin pumping.
8. Place the nozzle into the container or equipment in which you desire to fill.
9. Squeeze the hand trigger on the nozzle to allow lubricant to flow out of the tip.
10. While in operation, check around the filter gasket for leaks. If the filter is leaking stop
the unit and tighten an additional ¼ turn.
11. To stop the flow, release the nozzle hand trigger and then turn the motor off.
WHEN TO CHANGE THE FILTER AND PROCEDURE
The filter head is outfitted with two pressure gauges. The first gauge nearest to the pump
indicates the pressure being produced by the pump. The second gauge near the hose indicates
the pressure after the filter element. To determine when the filter element is at its maximum
holding capacity, calculate the differential pressure by subtracting the higher pressure from the
lower pressure to get the total differential pressure. Differential pressure is a more accurate
means of determining filter usage. The filter should be changed at 40 psi differential.
Example:
P1 (Pressure Produced by Pump)= 43 psi P2 (After Filter)= 35 psi
Differential Pressure= P1-P2 = 43psi -35psi = 8psi (filter still has remaining life)
To change the filter:
1. Remove motor from the top of the drum pump by unthreading the handwheel and
lifting the motor upwards off the coupler.
2. Place an oil catch pan beneath the filter to catch remaining oil in the filter and head that
will come out during the filter change.
3. Using a strap wrench at the top of the filter, turn the filter counter clockwise and
unthread the filter from the head.

4. Dispose of remaining oil in the filter and the used filter in accordance to local
environmental laws and practices.
5. Remove the old gasket from the filter head and wipe excess oil residue from the head.
6. Remove the new filter from its packaging and insert the new gasket provided with the
filer into the gasket groove of the head.
7. Thread the new filter onto the head turning it counterclockwise and hand tighten.
8. Using the strap wrench, place the strap near the top of the filter to prevent collapsing
and turn the filter ¼ turn to tighten.
9. Place the motor back on the pump and turn on.
10. Dispense fluid from the nozzle and observe the filter gasket checking for leaks.
11. If the leaking is noticed around the filer gasket, tighten the filter another ¼ turn with the
strap wrench and repeat the procedure.

REPLACING THE DRIVE COUPLER
The motor drive coupler is designed to break if foreign material is accidently ingested into the
drum pump foot, preventing damage to the impeller, shaft and motor. If the drive coupler
breaks, follow this procedure to remove and install a new motor drive coupler.
1. Remove the drum pump from the drum and place it onto a table large enough to
support the unit
Note: Handling the unit may be easier if the hose is removed at the elbow connection.
2. Remove the pump foot to expose the impeller and shaft by placing the shaft of a long
screwdriver between the tangs on the foot bottom and turning the foot clockwise to
remove it from the pump tube. (Note: Foot threads are left-handed threads)
3. Place vise grips on the drive shaft above the impeller to hold the shaft while removing
the motor drive coupler.
4. Use a plyers on the motor coupler and turn clockwise to remove from drive shaft.
5. Thread the new coupler (P/N 10412) onto the shaft and hand tighten.
6. Remove the vise grips and thread the foot back onto the pump tube turning
counterclockwise to tighten.
7. Place a screwdriver into the discharge hole on the side of the outer tube and tighten the
foot using the shaft of a long screwdriver placed between the tangs on the foot bottom.

DRUM PUMP SPECIFICATIONS
When filtering higher viscosity oils that exceed 1250 cSt (5500 SUS),such as gear oils, the use of
a drum heating blanket is required to reduce the viscosity by heating the contents to 100°F
(40°C) or below 1250 cSt (5500 SUS). The minimum allowable micron level for higher viscosity
oil is 10 microns. Hydraulic oils may be filtered down to 3 microns at room temperature.
• Viscosity range = 0 – 1,250 cSt (0-5,500 SUS)
• Max Flow rate (181 cSt, ISO 68 @70F)= 7.25 GPM
• Max Viscosity = 1,250 cSt (5,500 SUS)
• Min Flow rate @ 1,250 cSt = 1.75 GPM

WARNING
The Electric Drum Pump motor 30018 and 30021 are totally enclosed fan cooled motors (TEFC)
with a thermal overload switch. Do not use these motors in conjunction with flammable
materials or in hazardous duty areas. Do not submerge motors or let motors contact liquids. If
motor stops running, turn the power switch to the off position “0” and allow at least 10
minutes for the motor to cool. Check the viscosity of lubricant being pumped to remain within
limitations and resume operations. Electric motors cannot be operated continuously and should
not be operated for more than 30 minutes without cooldown.
CAUTION
The Pneumatic Drum Pump motor 30019 has a recommended operating pressure of 90
psi @ 28 CFM. Do not exceed an inlet pressure of 100 psi. Always use a Filter Lubricator
Regulator (FLR) to remove water from the air supply and to lubricate the necessary
components, use SAE 10 weight oil.

ISO CLEANLINESS RATING
Lubricating oils stored in bulk containers may contain contaminates. Ordinarily it has been
thought lubricants stored in drums prior to use were contaminant-free; however, it is beneficial
to filter lubricants even prior to its use as the original container may impart impurities to the
lubricants prior to its first use. Most rotating equipment is manufactured to a class 2 or class 3
fit typical of most industrial operations. Hydraulic components and rotary screw compressors
tend to have tighter tolerances in the sliding and rotating elements. Clearances in components
are used to establish cleanliness requirements. The best source for cleanliness requirements is
from the equipment manufacturer. In general, as the viscosity of the oil increases the
cleanliness level decreases. Below is a general guideline for cleanliness levels.

Determining the ISO Cleanliness level of equipment requires analysis of the running lubricating
oil. Trico’s oil analysis laboratories can provide an accurate indication of the ISO Cleanliness
level of lubricating oil before and after filtration. Each number in the ISO code represents the
micron range of particulate in which the count lies within (R4microns/ R6microns/ R14 microns).
Example: 19/16/14, the 19 code shows that count of 4 micron particle lies between 5,000 and
2,500 per ml of fluid.

GROUNDING AND BINDING
The Drum Pump Filtration System is not rated for a hazardous duty environment due to
possible static discharge, use proper bonding and grounding per NFPA 77. A Bonding system
connects various pieces of conductive equipment together to keep them at the same potential.
Static sparking cannot take place between objects that are the same potential. Grounding is a
special form of bonding in which conductive equipment is connected to an earthing electrode,
or to the building grounding system, to prevent sparking between conductive equipment and
grounded structures.
Grounding is an electrical connection between a metal vessel, pump, motor and a constant
ground; i.e. a metal rod driven into the earth. Failure to bond and ground properly can cause a
discharge of static electricity resulting in fire, injury or death. If in doubt, do not start the pump!
Be sure bonding and grounding wires are secure before starting operation. (Ground and bond
wires must have less than one-ohm resistance for safe usage. Check continuity before starting.)
Always check with a safety engineer when any question arises and periodically check safety
procedures with a safety engineer.
