WARNING
!
Before attempting any installation of agitators onto
pressure feed tanks, the tanks must be relieved of
pressure as high pressure can cause a serious injury.
Pressure is maintained in a pressure tank after the
system has been shut down. Before attempting
removal of cover, fill cap, or center plug, pressure
must be relieved using the following steps:
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
1. Turn off the main air supply to the tank.
2. Close air inlet valve located on tank air manifold. Remove
air inlet hose.
3. Bleed off air in the tank by turning the air relief valve
thumb screw counter-clockwise. Wait until all the air has
escaped through the valve before removing the pressure
tank cover, fill cap, or center plug.
4. Leave the air relief valve open until you have reinstalled the
cover, fill cap, or center plug.
AIR SUPPLY
Air supplies (compressors etc.) shall be sited in a non-
hazardous area with a filter on the air intake system to
prevent the ingress of dust or similar foreign materials into the
parts where compression takes place.

AIR MOTOR LUBRICATION (ALL MODELS)
An automatic air line filter/lubricator should be installed in the
air supply line no more than 18" from the air motor. A 5
micron filter is recommended. Install the lubricator level with
or above the motor so the oil mist will blow directly into or
down into the motor (see Fig. 1).
Fill the oil reservoir with SAE 10W motor oil.
Adjust lubricator
Fig 1
to feed 1 drop of
oil for every 50
cfm of air or 1
drop per minute
of continuous
running.
ISOLATOR
VALVE
The unit may also
be lubricated
manually by adding 10-20 drops of oil SAE 10 weight oil into
the air inlet fitting at the start of each shift.
Periodically—Remove air adjusting valve and air strainer and
flush motor with a clean suitable solvent. Remove trapped
particles from screen and clean air strainer felt.
