WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and result in a fire or explosion and serious injury.

DGround all equipment. Refer to Grounding on page 5.

DIf there is any static sparking or you feel an electric shock while using this equipment, shut off the agitator immediately. Do not use the equipment until you identify and correct the problem.

DDo not use 1,1,1???trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents, or fluids containing such solvents in aluminum pumps. Such use could result in a serious chemical reaction, with the possibility of explosion.

DDo not use kerosene or other flammable solvents or combustible gases to flush the unit.

DProvide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvents or the fluid being dispensed.

DKeep the dispensing area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.

DDo not smoke in the dispensing area.

DKeep a fire extinguisher in the work area.

MOVING PARTS HAZARD

Moving parts, such as the rotating blades of the agitator, can pinch or amputate your fingers or other body parts and can cause splashing in the eyes or on the skin.

DKeep clear of all moving parts when starting or operating the agitator.

DAlways shut off the agitator and disconnect the air line before you remove the agitator from the drum or check or repair any part of the agitator.

HAZARDOUS VAPORS

Hazardous fluids or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the skin, swallowed, or inhaled. When flushing the air motor, keep your face away from the exhaust port.

Installation

WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Always maintain a minimum of 1 in. clearance between rotating agitator parts

and container to prevent sparks from contact.

NOTE: Reference numbers and letters in text refer to the Figures and Parts Drawings.

Air Requirements

For continuous use, the 1/2 HP agitator air motor typically requires 2 scfm (0.06 m#/min.) of air at 400 rpm and with 100 psi (7 bar) inlet pressure.

Air Line Accessories

Install an air line filter to remove harmful dirt and moisture from the air supply. Order Part No. 106148 for 3/8 npt or 106146 for 1/2 npt.

Installing the Agitator

1.Install the agitator on the container cover by screwing the helix through the drum bung hole and screwing the agitator housing into the bung hole. Refer to the Dimension Drawing on page 11.

CAUTION

Keep the agitator tightly mounted to the drum bung to prevent damage to the threads from vibration.

When using a modified drum check that there is no interference between the base of the drum and the shaft of the agitator.

2.Position the air motor so the air line can easily be attached to the needle valve???s 1/8 npt inlet, without obstructing any other system components. See Fig. 1.

3.Attach an air line quick disconnect valve or ball valve for main air shutoff. Order Part No. 208536, Coupler and 169969 Fitting, Quick Disconnect Air Line Fitting.

4.Attach the air line between the needle valve???s 1/8 npt inlet and the 1/8 npt air supply manifold outlet.

CAUTION

Not lubricating the air motor will cause air motor failure.

Operation

WARNING

MOVING PARTS HAZARD

To reduce the risk of serious injury, in- cluding cuts, amputation of fingers, and splashing in the eyes or on the skin:

DAlways shut off the mixer and disconnect the air line before checking or repairing the mixer.

Operating the Agitator

1.Fill the fluid supply container.

2.Start the agitator.

3.Use the agitator needle valve to regulate the agitator speed. The needle valve has numbered graduations to refer to when setting the agitator speed. Set the agitator at speeds that minimize vibration.

NOTE: If an air shut-off valve is installed in the supply line and used to stop the agitator, the same agitator speed will be set each time the agitator is used. Part numbers for air shut-off valves are listed below:

208390 1/4 npt(m) x 1/4 npt(m)

208391 3/8 npt(m) x 3/8 npt(f)

208392 3/8 npt(f) x 1/4 npt(m)

208393 3/8 npt(m) x 3/8 npt(m)

CAUTION

Do not operate the agitator at a high speed for a long period of time. Excessive agitator speed can cause foaming of fluid (making the fluid unusable), vibra- tion, and increased wear on parts. Always agitate the fluid only enough to maintain even mixing.

4.Operate the agitator continuously while supplying paints or other fluids to the system.

5.To stop the agitator, close the air valve in the air sup- ply line if you have one, or close the agitator needle valve.

NOTE: The agitator rotation may be reversed by switching the muffler and needle valve. Refer to Fig. 1.

Checking Fluid Viscosity

If the agitator is in a closed drum, the agitator must be removed to check the fluid viscosity or the fluid must be siphoned from the 3/4 npt drum port.

Service

WARNING

MOVING PARTS HAZARD

To reduce the risk of serious injury, in- cluding cuts, amputation of fingers, and splashing in the eyes or on the skin:

DAlways shut off the mixer and disconnect the air line before checking or repairing the mixer.

DWear eye protection.

WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

To prevent an explosive hazard, where injury and/or property damage can re- sult:

DDo not operate this air motor with combustible gases.

DDo not use kerosene or other flammable solvents to flush unit.

DKeep face away from exhaust port. Foreign material exiting the air motor can be hazardous.

Flushing

If the motor is sluggish or inefficient, flush it with non- flammable solvent in a well ventilated area.

The recommended solvent for air motors and lubri- cated pumps is GastR Flushing Solvent (Part No. AH255 or AH255A) or InhibisolR Safety Solvent.

1.Disconnect the air line and muffler.

2.Add several teaspoons of solvent or spray the solvent directly into the motor.

3.Rotate the shaft by hand in both directions for a few minutes.

4.Reconnect the air line and slowly apply pressure until there is no trace of solvent in the exhaust air.

5.Re-lubricate the motor with a squirt of light-weight oil in the chamber.

Servicing

DIf the unit requires more than installation of a ser- vice kit, it is usually quickest and easiest to send the unit to the Graco distributor for repair or re- placement.

DIf the vanes need replacing or foreign material is present in the motor chamber, an experienced mechanic may remove the end plate opposite the drive shaft end. Do not pry with a screwdriver. It will dent the surface of the plate and body, causing leaks. Use a puller tool, which will remove the end plate while maintaining the position of the shaft.

DNew vanes should have the edges with cut corners (or the notched edges, if the vanes are reversible) pointing toward the bottom of the vane slot.

NOTE: An Air Motor Repair Kit is available. Order part number 224954.

Aligning the Outlet Housing after Repairing or Replacing the Outlet Housing or Air Motor

CAUTION

Improper installation of the outlet housing could cause the agitator shaft to bind against the outlet housing bearing and damage it.

1.Place the agitator in a vertical position and loosen the three outlet housing screws (17). See Parts Drawing.

2.Apply 25 psi (1.7 bar) minimum air pressure to the air motor. Adjust the needle valve so the agitator is bare- ly turning.

3.While the agitator shaft is turning, torque the three outlet housing screws to 80 to 100 in-lbs (9 to 11.3 NSm).

4.If the agitator shaft still binds, repeat steps 1 to 3 above.

Lubricating the Air Motor

CAUTION

Not lubricating the air motor will cause air motor failure.

If an air line lubricator is not installed, the air motor must be manually lubricated every 8 hours. Lubricate the agitator air motor by placing 10???20 drops of SAE #10 light oil in the motor???s air inlet. Run the agitator for about 30 seconds.
