Operation
WARNING
Do not exceed the lowest pressure rating
of any component in the system.
Never point a control valve at any portion of your
body or another person. Lubricant discharged at
high velocity can penetrate the skin and cause
severe injury. Should any fluid appear to puncture
the skin, get medical care immediately.
Ensure all components are in operable condition.
Replace any suspect parts prior to operation.
Personal injury can occur.
1. Make sure air pressure at the regulator reads zero.
2. Slowly supply air pressure [not to exceed 20 psi
(1.4 Bars] to the pump’s motor.
• The pump assembly should cycle.
If the pump assembly does not cycle, refer to the
Troubleshooting Chart for details.
