Warnings Warnings The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When these symbols appear in the body of this manual, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific hazard symbols and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual where applicable.
Warnings WARNING WARNING EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD Misuse can cause death or serious injury. • Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. • Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals. • Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.
Installation Installation Grounding Location Position the ram so the air controls are easily accessible. Ensure that there is sufficient overhead clearance when the ram is fully raised. See Repair, page 20. The equipment must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of static and electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current due to static build up or in the event of a short circuit.
Installation Setup NOTE: Reference numbers and letters in parentheses in the text refer to the callouts in the figures and the parts drawings. Accessories are available from Graco. Make certain all accessories are sized and pressure-rated to meet your system requirements FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are guides for selecting and installing system components and accessories. Contact your Graco distributor for assistance in designing a system to suit your particular needs.

Installation Integrated Air Controls See FIG. 3. Air inlet size is 1/2 npt(f) on the Enclosed Air Controls and 3/4 npt(f) on the Exposed Air Controls. The integrated air controls include: • • • Inflatable seal air regulator (BH): controls air pressure to the inflatable seal. • Main air valve (BA): turns air on and off to the system. When closed, the valve relieves pressure downstream. Inflatable seal switch (BJ): controls the inflation and deflation of the ram plate seal.
Operation Operation Pressure Relief Procedure Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly, which could result in serious injury from injection, splashing or moving parts. Relieve pressure when you stop pumping and before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment. NOTE: Do not close the main air valve until Step 6. The Enclosed Air Controls will not operate when the main air supply is in the Off position. 1. Enclosed Air Controls: See FIG. 3. Turn the air motor switch (BF) to off.
Operation Starting and Adjusting the Ram • Do not inflate the seal when not installed on the follower plate. Wear safety glasses when operating the seal. Seal burst could result in injury. • Keep hands and fingers away from the ram plate, pump fluid inlet, and lip of the fluid container when raising or lowering the ram to reduce risk of serious injury from moving parts. 1. Close all air regulators and air valves. 2. Turn on the main air supply. 3.
Operation Starting and Adjusting the Pump NOTES ON ADJUSTING PRESSURE: Different combinations of seal and ram pressure may be necessary for proper seal and pump operation. • If the pump does not prime properly with heavier fluids, increase air pressure to the ram. • If fluid is forced out around the inflatable seal, decrease pressure to the ram. • For diaphragm pump models, adjust DOWN pressure to the minimum level, to ensure that the pump inlet balls seat properly. See FIG. 3, page 12. 1.
Operation Changing Drums Shutdown 1. Set the director valve (BC) to neutral. 2. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 14. Moving parts can pinch, cut, or amputate fingers and other body parts. Keep your hands and fingers away from the priming piston, ram plate, and lip of drum during operation and whenever the pump or ram is charged with air. 3. Follow the pump shutdown instructions in your separate pump manual. 1. Stop the pump. Close the air motor valve (BF). 2.
Operation Cleaning Procedure 8. Pull the inflatable seal down to remove. Clean and sanitize the seal. NOTE: Discoloration of the inflatable seal is normal. Replace the inflatable seal if the surface is compromised due to excessive wear, tears, cuts, or gouges. NOTE: The following instructions are a basic procedure for cleaning a sanitary ram. 9. Set the director valve to DOWN. Lower the ram plate. • 10. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 14.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 14. 2. Check all possible remedies in the Troubleshooting Chart before disassembling the pump. Problem Ram will not raise or lower. Cause Solution Closed air valve or clogged air line. Open, clear. Not enough ram air pressure. Increase. Worn or damaged piston. Replace. Hand valve closed or clogged. Open, clear. Air pressure is too high. Decrease. Travel rate is not properly adjusted.
Repair Repair Disconnect Diaphragm Pump Disconnect Piston Pump 1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 14. 1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 14. 2. Disconnect inflatable seal supply air and air assist supply air. 2. Disconnect inflatable seal supply air and air assist supply air. 3. Remove two clamps (13) holding the pump to the ram plate. Remove gaskets (8). 3. Remove two clamps (12) holding the tie rods (2) to the ram plate. Remove gaskets (7). 4.
Repair Service Ram Pistons 124 Always service both cylinders at the same time. When you service the piston rod always install new o-rings in the piston rod seal and ram piston. • • Order Piston Repair Kit 24G853 for a stainless steel ram. Parts are marked with a † in the illustrations and parts list. Order Piston Repair Kit 24G854 for a carbon steel ram. Parts are marked with an * in the illustrations and parts list.
Repair 9. Carefully lay piston (107) and rod (102) down so rod will not be bent. Remove nut (108), washer (109), and piston (107). Remove outer o-ring (105) and inner o-ring (110). 10. Inspect parts for wear or damage. Replace as necessary. careful not to push the piston seal housing down into cylinder. 9. Install retaining ring (115). 10. Stainless Steel Rams: Lubricate and install inner o-ring (122) into piston cap (120). Install outer o-ring (121) onto piston cap.
