Warnings 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 or on warning labels, 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.
Warnings WARNING TOXIC FLUID HAZARD Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the skin, inhaled, or swallowed. • Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using. • Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of hazardous fluid according to all local, state, and national guidelines. • Always wear protective eye wear, gloves, clothing, and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer.
Installation Installation Grounding 3. Connect the other end of the ground wire to a true earth ground. (Fig 1). The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk of static sparking and electric shock. Electric or static sparking can cause fumes to ignite or explode. Improper grounding can cause electric shock. Grounding provides an escape wire for the electric current. • Pump: Use a ground wire and clamp as shown in Fig 1. • Air and fluid hoses: Use only electrically conductive hoses.
Installation Typical Installation 3” (76 mm) 1” (25 mm) 6” (152.4 mm) supply lines (from ceiling) supply lines (through wall) bleed-type master air valve high pressure fluid shutoff valve 5’ (1524 mm) mounting holes clearance for plumbing FIG. 2 The Typical Installation (shown in fig 2) is only a guide for selecting and installing this system. It is not an actual system design. Contact your local Graco representative for assistance in designing a system to suit your particular needs.
Installation Mounting the Pump 5. Tighten the lock nut (11 or 24) securely. Continue with Step 4 below. Models 226013, 226018, 244637 DETAIL 1. Mount the pump support bracket (86). (FIG. 4) 8 or 23 pump riser tube 11 or 24 2 or 22 pump intake slots 86 0.12” (3.2 mm) FIG. 5 NOTE: The full length of the pump intake slots must be just below the bottom of the inductor cone. Model 204490 FIG. 4 2. Remove inductor plate nut (11 or 24), locking ring (8 or 23) and o-ring (9). (FIG. 5) Refer to FIG.
Installation All Models Refer to FIG. 7 for the following Steps. 4. Connect one end of the 36 in. (914 mm) hose into the adapter and the other hose end into the snap-over valve’s (27) union (82). (FIG. 8) 4. Loosen the pump support clamps again and raise the support (64) until it meets the pump base. 5. Secure the President or Fire-Ball pump to the pump support mounting plates from the underside with the screws (68). 6. Tighten screws (68) on lower pump bracket (83). 7.
Installation 8. Install a bleed-type master air valve on the pump’s air supply line. 9. Install a fluid shutoff valve on the fluid supply line to shut off fluid to the pump. 10. Finish assembling the hoses and fittings as shown on Parts Drawing Page 16.
Operation Operation NOTICE Always close the ball valve (65) as soon as the inductor plate reaches the bottom of the drum, indicating the drum is empty. Allowing the pump to run without fluid will cause damage to the pump. Installing a Drum NOTE: To adjust the elevator speed, turn the restrictor valve screw (46) clockwise to decrease the speed or counter clockwise to increase the speed. 6. Center an opened 400 lb (181.4 kg) drum under the inductor plate so the drum bottom touches the elevator base (A). 7.
Operation Removing a Drum 1. Relive pressure, see Pressure Relief Procedure, page 5. 2. Press in and hold the air-assist valve (47) until the inductor plate rises above the drum. Release the valve. (FIG. 9) 3. Open the snap-over valve (27) and raise the elevator to full height. (FIG. 9) NOTE: If you lose air pressure when reaching the drum chime, continue holding the air-assist valve and slowly pull out the snap-over valve until the chime is passed.
Maintenance Maintenance Refer to FIG. 10 for reference numbers. NOTE: To avoid contaminating the fluid in the supply container, keep the pump intake and the inductor plate clean during the servicing operations. Place the parts on clean paper or rags. Removing the Pump 27 1. Relieve Pressure, see Pressure Relief Procedure, page 5. 41 2. Remove the drum. Disconnect the air-assist hose (41). 11 or 24 For Model 204490: Loosen the inductor plate set screws (19).
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Problem Cause 1. Open inductor plate vent Solution 1. Close the inductor plate. Low flow or air sucked into pump or 2. Loose inductor plate sleeve lock- 2. Tighten the locking nuts. ing nut under inductor plate. 3. Replace seals; See Parts Drawing Page 16. 3. Worn inductor seals Failure of snap-valve or air-assist valve 306556S Worn o-rings or seals Remove valve, place in vise, disassemble and replace parts as needed.
