• Install the pump in an appropriate working area. Keep the area clean and tidy, free from unrelated materials, and ensure there is adequate lighting.
• Maintain the pump in good condition (use an authorized service agent).
• Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorized parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
• When not in use ensure the air supply is turned off.
• Keep the pump clean for the best and safest performance.
• Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
• Keep children and unauthorized persons away from the working area.
• Keep air hose away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• Check the air hose for wear before each use, and ensure that all connections are secure.
• DO NOT allow unauthorized persons to operate the pump.
• DO NOT operate the drainer if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
• DO NOT point the airline at yourself, other persons, or animals.
• WARNING! DO NOT tamper with, or open, the pump unit. To do so will invalidate the warranty.
• DO NOT use the pump to draw off any other liquids other than oils.
• DO NOT force the pump to achieve a task it was not designed to perform.

INTRODUCTION

Air-operated 1:1 oil pump, suitable for use with Model No’s AK450DX and AK468DX oil drain units. Supplied with a wall mounting bracket, 2m flexible hose with dry-fit male and female quick couplings to attach it to the drain unit. A 2m flexible air supply hose with filter, lubricator, and regulator assembly is also included. The pump can be plumbed into a run of pipework to a waste oil storage point sited out of the workshop.

ASSEMBLY

5.1. The air control unit items (fig.1. 2 & 3) have polycarbonate bowls and must not be installed where the bowls may be exposed to materials incompatible with polycarbonate such as certain solvents and chemicals, or where fumes can weaken the bowls. If this is unavoidable, an extension air line hose may be placed between the pump unit and the air control unit, but should not exceed 2 metres (6½ft) in length. Note that a mounting bracket (fig.1.5) is supplied to provide support for the remote-positioned air control unit.

• WARNING! Clean new air lines ensuring all metal shavings have been removed before connecting the pump and control unit. Any dirt in the inlet lines could damage the unit and may invalidate the warranty.

5.2. Connect filter-regulator to lubricator using one of the fittings (10). Note the airflow direction arrows on each unit and that lubricator must be between the pump and filter-regulator. Using the second fitting (10) connect the lubricator outlet to the pump air inlet.
5.3. Screw gauge (4) into filter-regulator port, choosing the port which will provide the easiest gauge visibility in the final installed position. Plug the remaining gauge port with plug (9).
5.4. Screw air hose (6) into the filter-regulator inlet port. Secure all connections (but do not over-tighten).

INSTALLATION

• DO NOT install the unit where it may be damaged by moving apparatus, or may endanger personal safety.

6.1. Secure wall mounting bracket (fig.1.8) to a wall, as shown in fig.3, ensuring the wall and attaching screws are adequate to take the weight of the pump and the pull of the suction and output hoses.
6.2. Remove the knurled mounting ring from the pump body and pass the pump unit through the mounting bracket and secure it with the knurled ring, (fig.3).
6.3. Attach the suction hose (fig.2.7) to the inlet at the base of the pump unit. Attach output line (¾” bore – not supplied, (see fig.2) to the pump output port.
6.4. The bowl of the filter-regulator (fig.2.2) is fitted with an automatic drain valve the outlet of which may be piped away using a suitably sized flexible tube.
6.5. Remove lubricator (fig.2.3) oil filler plug and fill with good quality air tool oil (Sealey ATO/500 500ml size or ATO/1000 1L size) checking the maximum level marked on the side of the unit.
Note: The installation of a wall bracket next to the pump, to support the suction hose when not in use, is recommended.
Use PTFE tape or similar on all connections to ensure leak-free joints.

OPERATION

7.1. The regulator should be set at 6 bar/90psi. It is important to maintain the correct operating pressure to ensure that the control valves and connectors are not damaged and to prevent leakage in the delivery lines.
7.2. Connect the suction hose (fig.2.7) to the oil drain unit and ensure the outlet hose will dispose of the waste in accordance with local authority regulations. DO NOT pollute the environment by the uncontrolled discharge of waste products.

• WARNING! DO NOT operate pump dry – suction line must be connected to drainer before turning on.

7.3. Before turning on the air supply for the first time ensure that the pressure regulator knob (fig.4.A) is unwound (anticlockwise) so that there is no load on the regulator spring. Turn on the air supply. The regulator output gauge (fig.2.4) should show zero. Turn the regulator knob clockwise, slowly, until the gauge shows 6 bar (90psi) – pump will start at approx. 2 bar. Lock knob with locking ring (fig.4.B) to prevent accidental movement.
Note: When resetting the regulated pressure always start from below the new required pressure and adjust up.
7.4. Check that there are no leaks from any of the hoses or fittings.
7.5. When pumping is complete turn the airline of. Disconnect the suction hose from the drain unit and store it. Wipe up any spillage.
Note: Waste oil will not pump if its viscosity is too high.

MAINTENANCE

• WARNING! Ensure that the pump is disconnected from the air line and that there is no pressure in the output line before attempting any service or maintenance.

Note: It is essential that dirt and moisture are kept out of the air supply to the pump. Drain the air supply system and clean filters regularly.
8.1. AIR LINE LUBRICATOR AND WATER TRAP (FIG.2.3)
8.1.1. This unit is designed to automatically lubricate the pump via the air supply. The unit must be kept topped up with good quality air tool oil (Sealey reference: ATO/500 – 500ml size or ATO/1000 – 1L size). To adjust the oil flow turn the oil regulator on the top of the unit. Turn the screw anticlockwise to increase the flow and clockwise to decrease flow – set to minimum flow for this application.
At regular intervals check that water is draining from the filter regulator since it is essential that water does not enter the pump.
8.2. CLEANING
8.2.1. Clean pump and air units with a clean damp cloth. Mild detergents may be used to remove oil.

• DO NOT use solvents or abrasives and do not get the pump or air units wet.
