1.0 INSTALLATION
1.1
MOUNTING:
The amplifier comes standard with a foot mounting bracket (four 1/4 inch fasteners required).
The unit may be mounted vertically (wall mount) or horizontally (floor mount).
1.2
CONNECTIONS:
Connect a regulated and filtered air supply to the 1/2 NPT "AIR IN" port on the pump (1/2 NPT, or
larger size filter/regulator and plumbing. NO Lubricator Is required).
Connect your source media to be pumped to 1/2 NPT “GAS IN” Ports.
Connect your destination media circuit to the 1/2 NPT “OUT” Port located in the center section of the
pump.
1.3
STARTUP:
Note: With the source media supply turned on, it will free-flow through the pump to the destination
port, with a slight pressure drop due to the cracking pressure of the internal check valves.
Starting with the external air regulator backed-out all the way, slowly increase the pressure by turning
the regulator knob clockwise. The pump will start to cycle building pressure of destination media as it
does so.
The pump will stall when circuit pressure reaches the sum of the regulated drive pressure and the
inlet media pressure. The pump will maintain this pressure even if there is some circuit leakage. At
this time check for and fix any circuit leaks since this only causes unnecessary air consumption and
wear and tear on the pump.
2.0 MAINTAINENCE:
2.1 ROUTINE MAINTAINENCE:
The only routine maintenance required is to re-grease the main air spool (item 9), the pilot piston
O-ring (item 10) and the T-seals (items 7) every 6 months. Refer to the enclosed 4-way cycling valve
assembly drawing.
