WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause extremely
serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashed in the eyes or on the skin can also
cause serious injury.
D Fluid injected into the skin is a serious injury. The injury may look like just a cut, but it is a serious
injury. Get immediate medical attention.
D Do not point the gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
D Do not put your hand or fingers over the spray tip.
D Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.
D Do not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.
D Always have the tip guard and the trigger guard on the gun when spraying.
D Check the gun diffuser operation weekly. Refer to the gun manual.
D Be sure the gun trigger safety operates before spraying.
D Lock the gun trigger safety when you stop spraying.

to remove harmful dirt and contaminants from your
compressed air supply. Also install a bleed-type master
air valve (A).
Mount the Evenflo Control (1) to the pump, using the
screws supplied with it to attach the mounting plate to
the pump base. Remove the screw and lockwasher
from the bottom of the control. Position the control
over the small hole of the mounting plate and reinstall
the lockwasher and screw.
WARNING
Remove the cover of the supply drum. Place the
Sturdi-Clamp (3) over the edge of the drum and tighten
the tee handle (M) screw securely. Loosen the U-
clamp. Lower the pump through the U-clamp until the
pump intake is about 1 in. off the bottom of the drum.
Tighten the clamp wing nuts (N). See Detail A below.
A bleed-type master air valve (A) is required in your
system to reduce the risk of serious bodily injury,
including fluid injection, splashing in the eyes, and
injury from moving parts, if you are adjusting or
repairing the pump. Order Part No. 107142
This valve relieves air trapped between the valve
and the pump after the air supply is shut off.
Trapped air may cause the pump to cycle unex-
pectedly. Locate the valve within easy access of
the pump.
NOTE: Use thread sealer on all male threads except at
swivel connections. Swivels must remain free to move.
Connect the air and fluid hoses to the Evenflo Control
and the gun as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 4. Tape the
hoses every 18 in. (457 mm) for easier handling.
Connect the air hose (12*†) from the 1/2 npt(f) Evenflo
swivel air inlet to the main air supply line. Then con-
nect the hose’s ground wire (C) to a true earth ground.
For automatic air motor lubrication, install an air line
lubricator between the pump air inlet and hose (E).
Otherwise, just connect the 18 in. (457 mm) hose (E)
from the Evenflo Control to the swivel air inlet of the
pump. For manual air motor lubrication, see MAINTE-
NANCE, page 9.

Operation
Pressure Relief Procedure
Relax-A-Valve Automatic Position
With the Evenflo control, its bypass valve, and the
pump Relax-A-Valve properly set, fluid pressure is
relieved from the pump and hose each time you re-
lease the gun trigger. Always engage the gun trigger
safety when you stop spraying. To relieve air pressure,
close the Evenflo regulators and open the bleed-type
master air valve.
To set the pump Relax-A-Valve (G) in the automatic
position, loosen the locknut (H), turn the T-handle (J)
clockwise as far as possible, and then back-off the
handle four turns and tighten the nut. See Fig. 3.
NOTE: Every time you resume spraying, ensure that
the Relax-A-Valve is in the automatic position.
WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD

be manually relieved to prevent the system from
starting or spraying accidentally. Fluid under high
pressure can be injected through the skin and
cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of an injury
from injection, splashing fluid, or moving parts, fol-

To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 7.
are pumping and with the wetted parts in your system.
Check with your fluid manufacturer or supplier for
recommended flushing fluids and flushing frequency.
Always flush the pump before fluid dries on the dis-
placement rod.
1. Remove and clean the strainer in the Evenflo
body, add light oil to the screen cavity and re-
assemble every day.
CAUTION
Never leave water or water-base fluid in the pump
overnight. If you are pumping water-base fluid, flush
with water first, then with a rust inhibitor such as
mineral spirits. Relieve the pressure, but leave the
rust inhibitor in the pump to protect the parts from
corrosion.
2. If the pump was not flushed and has not been
operated for more than one day, disconnect the
spray gun fluid hose, turn on the pump, and pump
out a small quantity of fluid. This removes any fluid
that has set-up in the hose.
3. Whenever you are done spraying for the day,
relieve the pressure. Cover the drum to protect it
from contaminants and air, which may cause the
fluid to harden.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 7.
NOTE: Be sure you flush the system thoroughly before
any fluid has a chance to set-up or harden.
1. Relieve the pressure.
2. Remove the spray gun and clean it according to
the supplied instructions.
Air Motor Lubrication
If your system does not include an automatic lubrica-
tor, remove the hose (E) to the pump air inlet. Place 15
drops of light machine oil in the inlet. Reattach the
hose and turn on the air to blow the oil into the motor.
Repeat this process every day.
3. Remove the pump from the drum. Wipe excess
fluid off of the pump. Place the pump in a
grounded metal flushing container, with enough
compatible solvent for flushing the entire system.
4. Open the bleed-type master air valve, the pump
Relax-A-Valve, and start the pump. Circulate the
solvent for at least 15 minutes.
Flushing
WARNING
5. Close the Relax-A-Valve. DIrect the fluid hose into
the fluid supply drum. Start the pump. When the
solvent appears at the hose end, quickly transfer
the hose to the flushing pail and allow the pump to
circulate solvent through the pump and hose until
clean.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Before flushing, read the section FIRE
OR EXPLOSION HAZARD on page 4.
Be sure the entire system and flushing
pails are properly grounded. Refer to
Grounding on page 5.
