INSTALLATION
The TP0423S5XXXXXXXX Ram 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
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS / INITIAL SET-UP PROCEDURE
WARNING
STAND CLEAR WHEN RAISING OR
LOWERING THE LIFT.
Read the warnings on page 2 of RM552S-C Two Post Lift /
Ram Operator’s Manual.

TO RAISE THE LIFT, (the rst time):
Take note of the pump / drum clearance above. Be cer-
tain the lift / ram is clear of any objects above. Also, refer
to “Operating and Safety Precautions” found on page 2
of RM552S-C Two Post Lift / Ram Operator’s Manual.
Connect the air supply (150 p.s.i. / 10.3 bar max.) to the
air inlet. Adjust the air pressure on the lift / ram pressure
regulator (turn the knob clockwise) to 20 p.s.i. (1.4 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.

5. Once the lift / ram assembly and pump are in the “up”
position, place and center an opened 5 gallon drum of
material on the lift / ram base.
6. Lubricate the lower follower wiper plate seal with grease.
This ensures a smooth t into the drum, as well as pre-
vents curing type compounds from bonding to the seal.
NOTE: Make certain the grease is compatible with the
material being dispensed.
7. 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 (see RM552S-C Operator’s
Manual).
TO LOWER LIFT:
WARNING
PINCH HAZARD. Follower can descend
quickly, causing injury. Keep hands clear when align-
ing with container. Read the warnings on page 2 of
RM552S-C Two Post Lift / Ram Operator’s Manual.
NOTE: Be certain the follower plate vent plug has been re-
moved so that the air trapped between the follower and the
material is allowed to escape from this vent. Captured air
between the follower plate and drum will escape.
NOTE: The lift / ram may hesitate momentarily before start-
ing downward. The air pressure inside the post air chamber
must decrease 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. Open the pump air
supply valve. 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):
Close the pump air supply valve.
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” posi-
tion.
To avoid damage, DO NOT OVER PRESSURIZE THE DRUM.
Open the folllower plate supply valve to allow air under
the follower plate.
Shift the control valve lever to the “up” position.
Place and center a new drum into position. Remove the
cover.
