WARNING
• Do not operate this equipment with
combustible gas or fuel, gasoline,
diesel fuel, kerosene, etc.
• Do not attempt to repair or
disassemble the equipment while the
system is pressurized.
• Make sure all fluid connections are
securely tightened before using this
equipment.
• Check all equipment regularly and
repair or replace worn or damaged
parts immediately.
• Always check equipment for proper
operation before each use, making
sure safety devices are in place and
operating properly.
NOTE
Pump should be installed upright for
operation. Use model 83727 stand pipe
for bulk material dispensing.
Locate pump as close to tank as possible
and use a minimum of 3 in (76 mm) ID
inlet hose or pipe.
WARNING
Do not operate pump unless it is firmly
mounted on to pressure primer or
standpipe and area around pump inlet is
clear of obstructions. Keep hands away
from pump inlet while airline is
connected.
Failure to comply may result in death
or serious personal injury.
WARNING
Do not operate equipment near risk of
static spark. If static sparking occurs,
fire or explosion could result.
Pump dispensing valve and containers
must be grounded when handling
inflammable fluids such as petroleum
products, paints, lacquers, etc, and
wherever discharge of static electricity is
a hazard.
Failure to comply may result in death
or serious personal injury.
Mounting
Attach air motor to
pump tube
1 Tightly attach tie rods to the air motor
(use short threaded end of the tie rods).
2 Mount air motor on top of the pump
tube outlet and tightly connect coupling
nut (2) to air motor piston rod.
3 Hand tighten tie rods to the outlet body
flange with four nuts supplied with air
motor.
4 Slowly cycle the pump several times,
using just enough air pressure to
operate the pump without stalling.
5 Stop the pump on an up stroke and
tighten the four nuts to securely fasten
the air motor to the pump tube.
Operating
precautions
• Use Lincoln replacement parts to assure
compatible pressure rating.
• Heed all warnings.
• Be sure material hoses and other
components are able to withstand fluid
pressures developed by this pump.
• Do not operate pump continuously at
speeds in excess of 75 cycles per minute.
• Before servicing or cleaning pump, or
removing fluid hose or gun from a unit
that has been used, be sure to
disconnect air lines and carefully bleed
pressure off the system.
• Check continuity (a good static wire
connection) with an ohmmeter. Place one
probe on one hose fitting and the other
probe on other hose fitting, continuity or
proper grounding through hose is good
when a reading is obtained on the
ohmmeter.
• Prevent fires. When pumping flushing or
recirculating volatile solvents, the area
must be adequately ventilated.
• Keep solvents away from heat, sparks and
open flames. Keep containers closed when
not in use.

Pump priming
To start operating, the pump has to be
primed with pumped materials.
The Pile Driver III pump is a double-acting
(pumps material on up in and down stroke)
positive displacement reciprocating pump
and as such intakes material only on up
stroke.
To prime pump, open output line (material
valve) and slowly open air supply valve until
pump starts. Allow pump to cycle very slowly
until all air is pushed out of lines and
material fills out pump and lines. Close
output line (material valve) - pump should
stall against pressure.
If pump fails to prime properly, open
bleeder valve (12) slightly to expel trapped
air and at the sign of material coming out of
the valve, close it tightly.
NOTE
Pumps are factory tested with light oil
and some of it is left in to protect pump
parts during storage and transportation.
To prevent contamination of material to
be pumped, flush pump before using.
