D Install a bleed-type master air valve (A) to relieve
air trapped between it and the motor when the
valve is closed. As an alternative, you can install
an air line quick disconnect coupler (M) and fitting
(L) to serve as an air-bleed device. See Detail A in
Fig.1. To order a 1/2” npt, 300 psi (2.1 MPa,
21 bar) Maximum Working Pressure bleed-type
master air valve, order Part No. 107142.
WARNING
Three accessories are required in your system: an
air bleed device, a fluid drain valve, and a thermal
relief kit. These accessories help reduce the risk
of serious bodily injury including fluid injection,
splashing in the eyes or on the skin, and injury
from moving parts if you are adjusting or repairing

D Install an air line filter (B) to remove harmful dirt
and contaminants from your compressed air supply.
Install another bleed-type master air valve (A) to
isolate the accessories for servicing.
The air bleed device relieves air trapped between it
and the air motor after the air supply is shut off.
Trapped air can cause the air motor to cycle unex-
pectedly, causing serious bodily injury if you are
adjusting or repairing the pump. Use either a
bleed-type master air valve (A) or a quick discon-
nect coupler (M) and fitting (L). Install it near the
pump air inlet, within easy reach of the pump.
D Install a fluid drain valve (H) near the pump fluid
outlet to relieve fluid pressure in the hose and gun
when the valve is opened. To order a 3/8” npt
(mbe) fluid drain valve, order Part No. 210658.

the fluid line caused by heat expansion. To order a
600 psi (4.1 MPa, 41 bar) minimum relief pressure,
630 psi (4.4 MPa, 44 bar) maximum relief pressure
thermal relief kit, order Part No. 237601.
The thermal relief kit (K) relieves pressure in the
fluid line caused by heat expansion.

Installation
To ground the pump, remove the ground screw (Z)
Grounding
and insert through the eye of the ring terminal at end of
the ground wire (Y). Fasten the ground screw back onto
the pump and tighten securely. Connect the other end of
the ground wire to a true earth ground. See Fig. 2. To
order a ground wire and clamp, order Part No. 222011.
Proper grounding is an essential part of maintaining a
safe system.
To reduce the risk of static sparking, ground the pump.
Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding
instructions for your area and type of equipment. Be
sure to ground all of the following equipment:

follow this procedure whenever you shut off the
pump, when checking or servicing any part of the
system, when installing or changing dispensing
devices, and whenever you stop dispensing.
3. Open the pump air regulator (C) slowly, just until
the pump is running. When the pump is primed
and all air has been pushed out of the lines, close
the dispensing valve.
1. Close the pump air regulator and the bleed-type
master air valve (required in your system).
2. Hold a metal part of the dispensing valve firmly to
a grounded metal waste container and trigger the
valve to relieve the fluid pressure, or open the
drain valve (H).
NOTE: When the pump is primed, and with sufficient
air supplied, the pump starts when the dis-
pensing valve is opened and shuts off when it
is closed.
Startup and Adjustment
4. Adjust the air regulator until you get sufficient flow
from the dispensing valve. Always run the pump
at the lowest speed necessary to get the desired
results. Do not exceed the maximum working
pressure of any component in the system.
WARNING
COMPONENT RUPTURE HAZARD
The maximum working pressure of each
component in the system may not be the
same. To reduce the risk of overpres-
surizing any component in the system, be sure you
know the maximum working pressure of each
component. Never exceed the maximum working
pressure of the lowest rated component in the
system. Overpressurizing any component can
result in rupture, fire, explosion, property damage,
and serious injury.
NOTES:
D Never allow the pump to run dry of the fluid being
pumped. A dry pump will quickly accelerate to a
high speed, possibly damaging itself. If your pump
accelerates quickly, or is running too fast, stop it
immediately and check the fluid supply. If the
supply container is empty and air has been pumped
into the lines, prime the pump and lines with fluid,
or flush it and leave it filled with a compatible sol-
vent. Be sure to eliminate all air from the fluid lines.
To determine the fluid output pressure using the air
regulator reading, multiply the ratio of the pump by
the air pressure shown on the regulator gauge. For
example:
3 (:1) ratio x 180 psi air =
540 psi fluid output

D If the pump will be unattended for any period of
time, or to shut off the system at the end of the
work shift, always follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure at left.
Limit the air to the pump so that no air line or fluid
line component or accessory is overpressurized.

10. Pull the piston assembly from the air motor base
14. In this step, while you are prying with the screw-
driver with one hand, cover the toggle assemblies
with your other hand so as to catch the spring-
loaded toggle assemblies when they snap out of
the lugs. Place the tip of a screwdriver into the
piston between the piston lugs (L) below the pivot
pins (16) on the toggles, pry up with the screw-
driver handle to compress the springs on the
toggle assembly (M) up and away from the piston
lugs, and remove the parts. See Fig. 4.
(28), and set it aside.
11. Remove the vee block seal (10{ ) with a pick, and
clean the groove in the air motor base (28).
Remove any dirt in the groove, and wipe the
groove clean with a cloth.
12. Inspect the air motor for damaged or worn inlet
valve grommets (17*), o-ring packings (19*, 20*),
valve nuts (21*), lock wires (22*), exhaust valve
poppets (26*), or inlet valve poppets (32*). If any
of these parts need to be replaced, continue with
steps 13 to 19. Otherwise, see Reassembly on
page 12.
15. Straighten the lockwires (22*) and remove them
from the valve nuts (21*). Screw the top nuts off.
Remove the trip rod yoke (13), actuator (12), and
trip rod (31). Unscrew the bottom nuts (21*), and
remove the poppets. Make sure the valve bar
spring clips (14) are not worn or damaged and that
they properly guide the actuator (12).
13. Use a screwdriver to push down on the trip rod
yoke (13), and snap the toggles down. See Fig. 4.
16. Remove the exhaust valve poppets (26) by cutting
them with a side cutter, then pull them out of the
actuator (12).
17. Clean all the parts carefully in a compatible solvent
and inspect them for wear or damage. Use all the
repair kit parts during reassembly, and replace
other parts as necessary.
WARNING
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
To reduce the risk of pinching or
amputating your fingers, keep your
fingers clear of the toggle assemblies
when you are snapping the toggles (M in
Fig. 4 ) up or down.
18. Check the surfaces of the piston, piston rod, and
cylinder wall for scratches or wear. A scored rod
will cause premature packing wear and leaking.
19. Lubricate all parts with a light, waterproof grease.

Reassembly
1. Place the piston rod (29) flats in the vice with the
air motor up.
7. Measuring with the gauge (Part No.171818),
create 0.125 in. (3.18 mm) of clearance between
the inlet valve poppets (32*) and the piston seat
when the inlet valve is open. See the Cutaway
View Fig. 4.
2. Pull the exhaust valve poppets (26*) into the valve
actuator (12), and clip off the top parts of the
poppets (shown with dotted lines in the Cutaway
View in Fig. 4).
NOTE: Adjust the distance between the inlet valve
poppets and the piston seat by turning the
top valve nuts (21*).
3. Install the grommets (17*) in the actuator (12),
place the inlet valve poppets (32*) in the piston,

before the threads run out.
9. Align the holes in the valve nuts (21*) and the slots
on the tops of the inlet valve poppets (32*), and
drop the lock wires (22*) through the holes in the
valve nuts and into the slots in the inlet valve
poppets. Pull the lock wires down tightly, and
bend the ends with pliers so that they cannot be
pulled back out of the holes.
NOTE: If you thread the valve nuts too far down
onto the poppets, they will run off of the
threaded part of the poppets.
4. Grease heavily and place the trip rod (31) in the
piston, place the actuator (12) in the yoke (13),
and place the well-greased actuator/yoke assem-
bly in the piston, with the trip rod going through the
center holes of the actuator and yoke and the inlet
valve poppets (32*) going through the grommets
(17*).
CAUTION
Never re-use the old lock wires. They get brittle
and will break easily from too much bending.
5. Thread the top valve nuts (21*) onto the inlet valve
poppets (32*) until one thread of the inlet valve
poppets is exposed above the valve nuts.
10. Grease and install the new o-rings (19* and 20*)
on the piston assembly (27) and in the groove in
the air motor base (28).
6. Install the toggle pins (15) in the yoke (13), place
the toggle arm (23) ends of the toggle assembly
(M) onto the toggle pins, and snap the pivot pin
(16) ends of the toggle assembly into the lugs (L).
