PUMP INSTALLATION
• When the pump is applied to a high viscosity grease, or used in low temperature, a grease
follower plate is recommended to avoid air pockets and to get the most out of your grease.
• The follower plate, which is pulled towards the bottom of the drum by suction pressure produced
by the air operated pump, compresses the grease, preventing the formation of air pockets which
may cause a blockage in delivery. The follower plate will always keep the grease clean to
preserve its characteristics and also enable the grease to be collected from the bottom of the
drum to avoid waste.
• Loosen the bung adaptor or wall bracket adaptor star nut. Slide the bung adaptor off of the suction
tube.
• Carefully slide the pump through the bung adaptor and the follower plate. Tighten the star nut
firmly in order to attach the pump.
CONNECTING THE AIR INLET LINE
• Air inlet connection is 1/4'' quick coupling (or 1/4'' NPT female) in all versions.
• Compressed air connection (to be supplied by the customer) should be done using the correct
tubes.
• A compressed air treatment unit (filter and regulator) is recommended to be attached to the pump.
In order to improve the efficiency of the pump, the installation of a lubricator is also recommended.
CONNECTING THE REGULATOR
• The lubricator (I) must be placed as close as possible to the air inlet, followed by the pressure
regulator (II), and finally, the filter (III). In the case of pumps not installed on a wall support it is very
important to equip the pump's air inlet with an adaptor for quick coupling and the air inlet hose with
a quick connector.
CONNECTING THE GREASE DISCHARGE
1. The Grease discharge outlet is a 1/4'' G thread. Connect the outlet to the high pressure hose
(according to DIN-SAE norms) through the corresponding adapter and terminal.
2. Ensure the gun (or corresponding valve) is closed.
3. Slowly open the pump's compressed air inlet valve. The pump will start to function, filling the feed
circuit with grease. Maintain pressure on the gun until the grease start to flow out. The pump is now
ready for its usual function.
