Instruction for Assembly of ATD5289 Lubrigun
Unpack ATD5289 Assembly from
Carton
This should include the following pieces: Pump, Drum Cover (Red),
Follower Plate, Grease Control Valve, 6 Foot Grease Hose, Muffler, Air
Nipple and Rapid Disconnect Coupler
.
Assemble Drum Cover to Pump
(For Coupler and Ferrule Assembly)
Place ferrule both top and bottom on either side of the drum cover and
insert end of pump tube through the respective holes.. Thread top and
bottom of ferrule together with the pump cover in between both pieces of
the ferrule. Do this as far up the pump tube as possible underneath the
bottom of the air motor.
Assemble Drum Cover to Pump
(For Screw Mounted Cover Assembly)
Insert end of pump tube through hole in the drum cover. Line up holes in
drum cover with the pump outlet body. Place the screws in there
respective holes and tighten drum cover to the bottom of the pump body
Insert follower plate onto the bottom of the pump tube and slide the follower plate up the pump tube.
Lower pump tube into lubricant until drum cover rests on top bead of drum.
Insert the three (3) adjusting screws into the drum cover and tighten securely to hold the pump to the drum.
Assemble the lubricant hose to the pump outlet body. The connections must be leakproof. Do not connect the
ATD5218 Control Valve Yet. You want to prime the system and purge contaminants out of the Grease Hose.
Insert Air Nipple 11660 and thread into pump head opening. Use Teflon tape to seal threads to prevent air leakage if
necessary.
Assemble air coupler 815 to an air hose of sufficient length so that the lubrigun can be moved to cover the
entire lubrication area with the hose attached. When air coupler 815 is attached to air coupler nipple 11660,
lubrigun is ready for operation. To release air coupler 815, draw back on the coupler sleeve.
NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL ATD5218 CONTROL VALVE YET!
DID YOU:
Purchase a Filter / Regulator for your pump? The Filter / Regulator should have an
automatic dump mechanism to purge the water out of the incoming air. Water in
the compressed air system is the biggest “Killer” of Air Operated Equipment.
YES:
Proceed
NO:
Think about it! It is cheap insurance to keep your pump running at maximum
efficiency and the pump will last longer.
Initiating Air Motor and Pump Operation
To Start Pump: Turn on air from Air Regulator slowly. You will hear the air enter the air motor. Pump will
start quickly and then reach prime at a stall pressure. It might take as much as 60-70 PSI to get the pump
started initially. Recommended Air Pressure to operate the pump under normal conditions is 80PSI. Pump
will activate as low as 15-20PSI. For first time operation, pump will start at 50-60 PSI. After that pump will
activate at the lower pressure.
Pump will start quickly and then reach prime at a stall pressure when the control valve is attached.
Allow pump to operate: Pumping Grease into the hose. Allow approximately 1/3 Cup of Grease to flow out
of the Hose. This is to insure that any particles or contaminants or residue inside the hose do not enter
the ATD5218 Control Valve. Stop Pump; Install the ATD5218 Control Valve on the hose; Make sure
connections are tight; Resume operation of the pump. The pump should reach stall pressure and stop.
Test the System
Pull the Trigger slowly and Grease should be ejected from the nozzle.
Don’t point it at anyone!
Never Put your Finger or Other Bodily parts near the valve control nozzle when pulling the trigger on
the control valve ATD5218.
To know the amount of lubricant pressure in your system or the hose, multiply the amount of air pressure by
50. For example, if there is 100 psi of air pressure indicated on the regulator (100 psi of air entering) then
there is 5000 psi of grease pressure in the lubricant line.
