ASSEMBLING THE AMBIENT AIR PUMP
Remove the cardboard shipping sleeve around the pump and the gauge box. Lift the pump and attached plywood base from the
box and remove pump from plywood base.
MST recommends saving all packaging materials in the event that the pump must be shipped in the future.
Remove the pressure gauge from its box and assemble it to the gauge port located on
top of the pump’s filter manifold as shown in Figure 1. Tighten the gauge using a
suitable wrench. Teflon tape is recommended to prevent excessive tightening that
might be required to seal the gauge threads. The gauge should be rotated such that the
pressure scale can be easily read by the operator.
FIGURE 1
Unscrew the pump’s aluminum filter can and check that the filter element is screwed
into the filter manifold properly. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY. Excessive force may
damage the filter element or threads. Replace the filter can and tighten securely
making sure the filter can seals on the filter can gasket (see Figure 2).
FIGURE 2
Check to make sure that the pressure relief valve, filter can, pressure gauge and outlet coupling are assembled tightly to the pump
to avoid air leakage.
