TO RAISE THE LIFT, (the rst time):
Take note of the pump / drum clearance above. Be certain the
lift / ram is clear of any objects above. Also, refer to “Operating
and Safety Precautions” found on page 3 of RM552S-XX Two
Post Lift / Ram Operator’s Manual.
Connect the air supply (100 p.s.i. max.) to the air inlet. Adjust
the air pressure on the lift / ram pressure regulator (turn the
knob clockwise) to 30 - 40 p.s.i. (2.1 - 2.8 bar).
Shift the control valve lever to the “up” position.
Raise the lift / ram high enough to clear the height of the drum.
Stop the lift upward travel by moving the control valve lever to
the “neutral” (center) position.
Once the lift / ram assembly and pump are in the “up” position,

INSTALLATION
The TP1044S5XXXXXXXX Extrusion System comes completely
assembled. Remove the unit from the crate and place on a level
surface. Install the material hose and dispensing device as required.
When the following instructions are observed, heavy paste
materials can be pumped directly from their original drum
without air inclusion or excessive waste. The follower plate creates
an air tight seal as well as clean-wiping action in its progressive
downward movement into the drum.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
place and center an opened drum of material on the lift / ram
base and securely against the barrel guides, adjusting if neces-
sary.
Lubricate the lower follower wiper plate seal with grease. NOTE:
Make certain the grease is compatible with the material being
dispensed. This ensures a smooth t into the drum, as well as
prevents curing type compounds from bonding to the seal.
Check the vent plug on the follower plate to be sure it easily
threads in and out. It is recommended to lubricate the threads
of the plug to help prevent possible set-up of the compound at
this point.
TO LOWER LIFT:
WARNING
PINCH HAZARD. Follower can descend quickly,
causing injury. Keep hands clear when aligning with con-
tainer. Read the warnings on page 3 of RM552S-XX Two Post
Lift / Ram Operator’s Manual.
NOTE: Be certain the follower plate vent plug has been removed
so that the air trapped between the follower and the material is al-
lowed to escape from this vent.
NOTE: The lift / ram may hesitate momentarily before starting
downward. The air pressure inside the post air chamber must de-
crease before it will begin to descend.
Shift the control valve lever to the “down” position and proceed
to lower the pump.
Replace the vent plug once the material begins to ooze from
the vent opening.
The unit is now ready for operation. Adjust the air pressure
on the pump lter / regulator (turn the pump regulator knob
clockwise) until the pump begins to cycle.
Trigger the gun to prime the pump with material.
TO RAISE LIFT, (normal operation):
Adjust the follower plate air valve pressure up to approximately
8 p.s.i.g. (0.55 bar). DO NOT OVER PRESSURIZE THE DRUM to
avoid damage. NOTE: Air from this valve will only pass when
the control lever is in the “up” position.
Shift the control valve lever to the “up” position.
Raise the lift / ram high enough to clear the height of the drum.
Stop the lift upward travel by moving the control valve lever to
the “neutral” (center) position.
TO CHANGE THE DRUM:
NOTE: The control valve lever must be in the “neutral” position.
Remove the old drum.
Place and center a new drum into position.
