REV. 4/01

The Val-Tex 40-70 comes equipped with a modified 8540-A1 High Pressure Pump. The service
instructions enclosed provide a general guide as to safety requirements, disassembly,
reassembly and parts. Please consult Val-Tex when reordering replacement parts. Standard
Alemite parts may not apply.
40-70 Requirements
To obtain 8000 PSI output requires 150 PSI of air at 6 CFM.
Air Regulator, moisture separator and oiler (not included) are recommended on the air supply line
to prolong the life of the pump.
Before Operating the 40-70
1. Connect lube sealant hose assembly to the motor. Check all threaded connections to ensure
the hose assembly is properly tightened.
2. To Pump Lube Sealant: (NOTE: See the instructions for use of the 40-70 pail adapter prior to
inserting the pail.)
A. Open the pail of lube sealant and place it in the bottom of the canister.
B. Insert the follower plate into the lube sealant can.
C. Clamp the canister lid down by tightening down the knurled nuts on the three thumb
screws.
D. Secure the latches by engaging them into the strike.
3. To Pump Valve Flush: (NOTE: See the instructions for use of the 40-70 pail adapter prior to
inserting the pail.)
A. Open the pail of Valve Flush and place it in the bottom of the canister.
B. Remove the follower plate from the pump tube before use.
1) Remove the snap ring that secures the follower plate to the bottom of the pump
tube.
2) Remove the follower plate from the pump tube.
C. Insert the pump tube into the Valve Flush can.
D. Clamp the canister lid down by tightening down the knurled nuts on the three thumb
screws.
E. Secure the latches by engaging them into the strike.
4. Connect the air hose to the pump

Operating the 40-70
1. Depressing the control handle (6438) will activate the pump. Continue until material flows
from the end of the hose. *
2. Connect to the fitting and begin injecting into the valve.
3. After the pail is approximately half empty, please refer to the "Instructions for use of 40-70
Pail Adapter."
*Dispose of any expelled material properly.
Periodic Maintenance
1. Refer to service instructions for model 8540-A1.

FOR VAL-TEX 40-70 ONLY
POSITION WHEN FULL POSITION WHEN HALF EMPTY
10600 Fallstone Rd. • Houston, TX 77099 • Phone: [phone] or 800-627-9771 • www.valtex.com • [e-mail]
1. When loading a full pail of Val-Tex lube sealant the pail should fit
down inside the centering ring and rest on the bottom of the
pump canister.
2. When the pail is about half empty it should be removed from the
canister and the centering ring turned over so that the pail is
sitting elevated 3 inches off the bottom of the canister. Valve
Flush pails should always be loaded in the half empty position
without a follower plate.

Description
The major components of high-pressure pump assembly
models 8540-A1 and 8541-5 consist of a(n):
• air-operated motor
• lubricant pressure controller (pressurtrol)
• double-acting reciprocating pump tube
• cover assembly and follower plate
• control valve, z-swivel, hose, & dolly (Model 8541-5)
The pressurtrol minimizes material pressure drop that
occurs when the pump cycles. Refer to SER 319800-1 for
details.
Pump Assembly
The high-pressure (70:1 ratio) pump assembly included
with each model is designed to deliver a range of greases
[up to NLGI # 3] and operates directly from an original
120-pound container.
Models 8540-A1 and 8541-5
Model 8540-A1 is stationary. It contains a cover and
follower plate. Model 8541-5 is portable and includes a
dolly, control valve, z-swivel, and delivery hose.

Description
Overview of Non-Divorced Pumps
The pump tubes that connect to these motors are of a
non-divorced design.
Non-divorced pumps contain a packing group that fits
directly into the lower portion of the motor. This lower
packing group is designed to prevent product from
entering the pneumatic portion of the motor. Product is
distributed through an outlet in the air motor base. See
Figure 1.
Pump tube separation requires that the pump tube
(with attached components) be unthreaded from the base
of the air motor.
Models 324400-2, 324400-4, and 324400-5
The difference between the models in the 324400
series air motors is illustrated in Figure 1.
The obsolete lower packing group in air motor model
324400-2 can be updated with the molded lower packing
group kit that is current in model 324400-4.
These two models contain an obsolete body. Each of
these models can be updated to the current model
(324400-5) with the use of a body replacement kit.
NOTE: With this kit it is necessary to pur-
chase the stepped toggle cap with the o-ring
seal along with the current molded lower
packing group.
