2. Warnings
The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The
exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbols refer to procedure‐specific risks.
When these symbols appear in the body of this manual, refer back to these Warnings. Product‐specific hazard
symbols and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual where
applicable.
WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High‐pressure fluid from dispensing device, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin.
This may look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate
surgical treatment.

WARNING
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest
rated system component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.
• Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See
Technical Data in all equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s
warnings. For complete information about your material, request the MSDS from the
distributor or retailer.
• Turn off all equipment and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when equipment is
not in use.
• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with
genuine manufacturer’s replacement parts only.
• Do not alter or modify equipment. Alterations or modifications may void agency
approvals and create safety hazards.
• Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which you are
using it.
• Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.
• Route hose and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot
surfaces.
• Do not kink over or bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.
• Keep children and animals away from work area.
• Comply with all applicable safety regulations.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Wear appropriate protective equipment when in the work area to help prevent serious injury,
including eye injury, hearing loss, inhalation of toxic fumes, and burns. This protective equipment
includes but is not limited to:
6501500094573EN_B 5
3. Pressure Relief Procedure
This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is
manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from
pressurized fluid, such as skin injection, splashing fluid,
and moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
when you stop pumping and before cleaning, checking, or
servicing the equipment.
Note: This pump is a positive displacement pump with no internal pressure relief device. A pressure relief device
(i.e. POPRTM, rupture disc, etc.) must be installed downstream from the pump to prevent an over pressure
condition and damage to the lubrication system.
4. Pump Installation
Grounding
Note: Ensure the box is properly grounded as the pump is grounded through the mounting bolts.

6. Pump Output Adjustment
Regulating Pump Output
Pump volume is controlled by the output regulator (A). Turning the output regulator threaded body (A) changes
the length of the piston stroke, which changes the pump discharge volume.
Note: The output regulator stem will typically not move up and down during operation. The internal seals will hold
the stem in the upmost position. Put light finger pressure on the output regulator stem to follow the rocker arm
movement. It is recommended to manually raise the stem to the upmost position when priming is complete to
ensure full piston travel, ensure correct pump output adjustment, and maintain optimal sealing performance.
