Typical Installation

The typical installation discussed below is only a guide

for selecting and installing system components and

accessories. Contact your Graco distributor for help in

designing a system to suit your particular needs.

This air-powered ram extruder forces high viscosity

fluids into the intake valve of the fluid pump. Wiper

rings and other accessory equipment for use with this

ram are listed in the Accessories section on page 54.

Selecting a Location for the Ram

Refer to the Ram Mounting and Clearance Dimensions

drawing (Fig. 14 on page 55) for ram mounting and

clearance dimensions.

When selecting a location for the ram, keep the follow-

ing in mind:

1. There should be sufficient space for installing and

using the equipment.

DMake sure there is sufficient overhead clear-

ance for the pump and ram when the ram is in

the fully raised position.

DMake sure the air regulators for the pump and

ram are fully accessible.

2. Make sure that you will be able to level the base of

the ram using metal shims.

3. When you bolt the ram to the floor, the anchors

should be long enough to prevent the unit from

tipping. Refer to the Dimensional Drawing on page

55 for more information.

System Accessories and Modules

Before you install the system you should be familiar

with the parts discussed below. For more information,

refer to Fig. 1, Typical Installation, on page 7.

Air and Fluid Hoses

When installing a system, make sure:

Dall air and fluid hoses are properly sized for your

system.

Dto use only electrically conductive air and fluid

hoses.

Dto use only Graco approved hoses. Do not remove

the spring guard that is used to help protect the

hose from rupture caused by kinks or bends near

the couplings.

To allow the gun to move more freely, use a short whip

hose between the main fluid hose and the gun.

Air Line Modules

WARNING

PRESSURIZED FLUID HAZARD AND

MOVING PARTS HAZARD

The pump bleed-type master air valve,

to relieve air trapped between this valve

and the pump after the pump air regula-

tor is closed. Trapped air can cause the

pump to cycle unexpectedly, which could

result in serious injury, including splashing in the

eyes or on the skin and injury from moving parts.

3-Regulator Air Control Modules (shown in Fig. 1)

The following components are supplied with your

pump:

DPump Bleed-type Master Air Valve (C) is required in

your system to relieve air trapped between it and

the air motor when the valve is closed (see the

WARNING above). Be sure the bleed valve is

easily accessible from the pump, and is located

downstream from the air regulator.

DPump Air Regulator (D) controls pump speed and

outlet pressure by adjusting the air pressure to the

pump. Locate the regulator close to the pump, but

upstream from the bleed-type master air valve.

DRam Down Air Regulator (not shown) controls the

air pressure to the ram.

DRam Up Air Regulator (not shown) controls the air

pressure to the ram.

DRam Air Supply Hose (H) connects the ram air

regulator to the air manifold.

DAir Manifold (F) divides the main air supply into

separate lines for the pump and ram.

9310524

Installation

Air Line Accessories

If you have a 3-Regulator Air Control Module, install

the following accessories, using adapters as neces-

sary:

DPump runaway valve senses when the pump is

running too fast and automatically shuts off the air

to the motor. A pump that runs too fast can be

seriously damaged.

DAir line lubricator provides automatic air motor

lubrication (standard on the 4-Regulator Air Control

Module).

DAir line filter removes harmful dirt and moisture

from the compressed air supply (standard on the

4-Regulator Air Control Module).

DAccessory bleed-type air valve isolates the air line

accessories for servicing. Locate upstream from all

other air line accessories. This isolates the acces-

sories for servicing.

Fluid Line Accessories (Fig. 1)

Install the following accessories in the positions shown

in the Typical Installation, using adapters as neces-

sary:

A fluid drain valve (J) is required in your system to

relieve fluid pressure in the hose and gun (see the

WARNING on page 8). When you install the fluid

drain valve:

1. Screw the drain valve into the open branch of a tee

mounted in the fluid line.

2. Install the drain valve pointing down, but so the

handle points up when the valve is opened.

A fluid regulator (K) controls fluid pressure to the

gun/valve, and dampens pressure surges.

A gun or valve (L) dispenses the fluid. The gun shown

in the Typical Installation is a dispensing gun for highly

viscous fluids.

A gun swivel (M) allows the gun to move more freely.

Check that there is sufficient overhead clearance

for the pump and ram when the ram is in the fully

raised position. Make sure the air regulators for the

pump and ram are fully accessible.

2. Level the base of the ram, using metal shims.

3. Using the holes in the base as a guide, drill holes

for 13 mm. (1/2 in.) anchors. Bolt the ram to the

floor anchors, which are long enough to prevent

the unit from tipping. Refer to the Dimensional

Drawing on page 55.

Ground The System

Ground the supply unit as instructed here and in the

individual component manuals.

WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
