6. Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
7. Check the hose, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Do not repair high pressure couplings; you must replace the entire hose.

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.

1. Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using.
2. Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of the hazardous fluid according to all local, state and national guidelines.
3. Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer.

Pressure relief procedure

Injection hazard

1. Fluid under high pressure can be injected through the skin and cause serious injury.
2. To reduce the risk of an injury from injection, splashing fluid, moving parts, or follow the pressure relief procedure whenever you are instructed to relieve the pressure, stop dispensing.
3. Check or service any of the system equipment, or install or clean the nozzle.

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including fluid injection, splashing in the eyes or on the skin, or injury from moving parts, always follow this procedure whenever you shut off the pump, and before inspecting, removing, cleaning or repairing any part the pump or system.

1. Close the supply pump’s bleed-type master air valve (required in pneumatic systems).
2. Open the dispensing valve until pressure is fully relieved.
3. Open the fluid drain valve at the pump fluid outlet. Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to use the system again.

Notes:
If you suspect the dispensing valve, extension or grease fitting coupler is clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved after following all the previous steps, using a rag very slowly loosen the coupler or hose end coupling and allow pressure to be relieved gradually, then loosen the part completely. Now clear the clog.

Pre-installation process

1. Warning: To reduce the risk of serious injury, the pressure release should be concerned. Please refer to 3.2 for the release process.

2. Process

   • Turn off the air check valve 1 as picture 1.
   • Effective grounding to grease supply system. Don’t use an insulation material to the ground. See 1.4 for he method for grounding.

3. The installation process for the digital grease control valve.

4. Warning: To reduce the risk of serious injury, pressure release should be concerned any time. Please refer to 3.2. for the release process.

5. Installing the new grease control valve

   • If you are a new user for the control valve, or valve used in grease supplying system appeared to be polluted. The cleaning work should be done before installation.
   • The following steps are for a cleaning process.

6. Turn off the check valve of every dispensing point.

7. Turn off the check valve of grease outlet.

8. Turn off the check valve to decrease the air inlet pressure, then open it to make the grease pump in the working preparation.

9. Slowly open the check valve of grease outlet.

10. Hold the grease outlet to the waste tank to drain. If there are several draining place, drain the waste firstly from the furthest place, then the nearer place.

11. Spread the sealing glue around the male thread of grease supplying system, connect it into the female thread of grease inlet, and then fix them together.

12. Turn on all check valves of grease system.

13. Handle the trigger to spray enough grease as reference to 3; make sure the grease system circle clean.

14. Repeat steps 6 to 8 for the other location of grease control valve.

Replace the grease control valve’s installation

• Loose and take the replaced grease control valve off the system.
• Do the step 6 to 9. from 1.3.2.

Grounding

1. The grounding is to maintain the security system.
2. To reduce static electricity, each unit of the system should carry out effective grounding.

• Control valve is done by manufacturers’ recommendation.
• Air and fluid hoses need effective grounding too.
• Air compressor is done by manufacturers’ recommendation.
• The grease barrels: effectively grounding
• Staying grounded is needed in the working and grease release process, especially the metal units are sure to be grounding before operating the control valve.

Operation

Warning: Before you release the trigger, the control valve is in the state of pressure. To reduce the pressure of high pressure flow from serious injuries, and the unexpected splash of the grease, when asked to

1. Reduce pressure;
2. Inspection, cleaning and maintenance of grease supplying system device;
3. Before installation, adjustment of the grease control valve, the pressure should be released from the control valve. Please refer to 3.2.

Pressure release

• Stop the pump power.
• Put the control valve into the waste oil container, the grab the trigger to release pressure.
• Turn on the air valve and oil valve of the system.
• Close the control valve.

When there is a question of

1. A problem of the control valve, connecting hose, and the grease outlet.
2. Pressure is not enough to release on the basis of these processes.
3. Pressure is released but very slowly, the grease supplying system should be cleaned to get rid of being blocked.

Warning: To reduce the serious bodily injury, It will never be allowed to work under the pressure more than the maximum working pressure.

Operation

1. Grab the trigger (refer to 2-2 part) position the control valve, then the control valve start to work.
2. Release the trigger, the control valve stop working.

The adjustment of flow rate: Rotating the nut 3 shown in picture 2 outside way, the free flow will be increased; Rotating the nut 3 shown in picture 2 inside way, the free flow will be decreased until there is no output.

Failure and Solution

• Warning: To reduce the risk of serious injury, pressure release should be concerned, please refer to 3.2. for the release process.
• Before checking and repairing the control valve, make sure the pressure should be released from the system and other devices.
• Battery replacement
  • When the LCD panel displays nothing or alarms from 2 section battery indication, the battery should be considered to be replaced.
  • Turn on the battery cover with opener.
  • Picked out of the two batteries.
  • Put the new batteries into it and the polar should be concerned.
  • Cover the battery.
• Cleaning the body cavity of control valve.
  • when the control valve been shelved for a longer period of time or the grease output is very small, the body cavity of control valve should be cleaned.

Figure 4

• Remove the front cover and the seal mat.
• Take out of the two oval gears.
• Clean the two oval gears with kerosene and ensure the gears without being damaged.
