WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and

result in a fire or explosion and serious injury.

Ground the equipment and the object being sprayed. Refer to Grounding on page 5.

If there is any static sparking or you feel an electric shock while using the equipment, stop

spraying immediately. Do not use the equipment until you identify and correct the

problem.

Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other Halogenated hydrocarbon

solvents, or fluids containing such solvents in aluminum components. Such use could result

in a serious chemical reaction, with the possibility of explosion.

Do not use kerosene or other flammable solvents or combustible gases to flush the unit.

MOVING PARTS HAZARD

Moving parts, such as the rotating blades of the agitator, can pinch or amputate your fingers or

other body parts and can cause splashing in the eyes or on the skin.

Keep clear of all moving parts when starting or operating the agitator.

Always shut off the agitator and disconnect the air or electric power line before adjusting

the angle of the agitator, removing the agitator from the drum or tank, or checking or

repairing any part of the agitator.

HAZARDOUS VAPORS

Hazardous fluids or toxic fumes from solvents or other chemicals can cause serious injury or death

if splashed in the eyes or on the skin, swallowed, or inhaled. When flushing the air motor, keep

your face away from the exhaust port. When handling hazardous materials, proper eye and skin

protection should be worn.

Installation

1) Bolt base to a levelled floor securely using the 3 (3/8”) clearance mounting holes.

The unit needs to be stable and levelled in order for lift and agitator functions to

work properly.

2) Install plant style air quick disconnect on the air flow controller to the 3/8” NPT

inlet notated with arrow. Quick disconnects used to ensure safety. *Agitator

should not be used while lift is in raised position.

3/8” NPT inlet

3) Attach the provided ground wire to the lift base plate as shown. The ¼” ring

terminal should be attached to the base, and the c-clamp should be attached to a

ground bar.

Note: Air flow controller (3076-00-00A)

is an accessory

Operation

Lift System Operation

The lift speed control fitting on the main lift air tube can be adjusted to modify the rate at

which the lift moves upward and releases the air to go downward. The lift speed control

fitting has been pre-set for suggested air tube speeds.

AQ Recommended Lift System Speed Adjustment

1) The bottom side of the needle screw that controls the speed of which the lift

comes down should be about 9/64” from the locking nut of needle screw.

Controls speed of lift

coming down over

bucket

Controls speed of lift raising up

7

2) The needle screw that controls the speed of which the lift raises should be about

3/32” from the locking nut of needle screw.

Agitator Control (optional)

Set air flow control (3076-AFC3-000) as described in the air flow control manual, each

unit will come preset to Autoquip recommended agitator speeds. If a different speed is

desired, the soft start control will adjust the speed. Lowering the psi will decrease the

agitator speed, while increasing the psi will increase the agitator speed.

Soft start control Flow control

Do not operate the agitator at a high speed for a long period of time. Excessive agitator

speed can cause foaming of fluid, vibration and increased wear on the parts.

Switching Bucket Positions

The AQ 5-gallon pail lift system is capable of switching positions with ease to eliminate

any spills and speed up productivity.

CAUTION

9

To switch positions:

1) Elevate the lift to its raised position

2) Pull out the Lift guide pin

3) Pull up on the Lift guide assembly to release it from the base (3099-0520-160)

4) Rotate the lift system into its secondary position and insert the lift guide into the

secondary stubs on the base of the lift.

Maintenance

Gear Box Disassembly

1) Loosen set screw on Rotary shaft collars attached to the AQ rotary shaft (3099-0520-

054)

2) Loosen the (2) ¼-20 SHCS from the AQ agitator lid support tube

12

3) Slowly loosen the (4) ¼-20 SHCS attaching the AQ 5-gallon agitator lift lid to the

AQ pump mount gear cover bracket to remove lid from the gear cover bracket. *The

lid is not required to be unfastened from the bearing block unless the bearing block is

to be replaced.

4) With the gear box detached from the lift, loosen the ¼-20 bolt fastening the Idler

(3099-0520-450) to the bearing block (3099-0520-407). With the Idler loose, the belt

can now be removed.

13

5) To remove pulleys*, loosen the (2) 2.5mm set screws located in between the

grooves of the pulley.

6) Using a 1/8” Allen wrench, loosen the set screws on the collar of the 2-bolt flange

bearing (3099-0520-452), and the 3-bolt flange bearing (3099-0520-453). The AQ

agitator blade shaft (3099-0520-055) and rotary shaft (3099-0520-054) can now

be removed.

7) To replace the 2-bolt flange bearing (3099-0520-452), use a 9/16” wrench to

loosen the (2) 3/8-16 hex head bolts.

14

8) To replace the 3-bolt flange bearing (3099-0520-453), use a 1/2” wrench to

loosen the (3) 5/16-18 hex head bolts.

Gear Box Assembly

1) Fasten the 3-bolt flange bearing (3099-0520-453) to the bearing block (3099-

0520-407) using a 1/2” wrench for the (3) 5/16-18 hex head bolts.

2) Fasten the 2-bolt flange bearing (3099-0520-452) to the bearing block (3099-

0520-407) using a 9/16” wrench for the (2) 3/8-16 hex head bolts.

3) Insert the rotary shaft (3099-0520-054) into the 2-bolt flange bearing until the

shaft is against the bearing block, then bring the shaft up about a 1/16” so the end

of the shaft does not rub against the bearing block. Align the set screw with the

flats of the rotary shaft accordingly, and fasten the set screws to the shaft using a

1/8” Allen wrench. Slide the rotary shaft pulley onto the rotary shaft so the pulley

is against the flange bearing collar, then fasten using a 2.5mm Allen wrench

6) Fasten the bearing block with the AQ 5-gallon agitator lift lid attached to the AQ

pump mount gear cover bracket using the 4 ¼-20 X ½” socket head cap screws.

7) Fasten the AQ agitator lid support tube to the agitator lift lid using the 2 ¼-20 X

¾” SHCS.

18

8) Insert the Rotary shaft spider into the rotary shaft collar fastened onto the air

motor shaft. Align the Rotary shaft collar onto the flat of the rotary shaft and

fasten the set screw of the rotary shaft collar.

9) Assembly of the gear box is complete! Make sure to test the agitator for any

issues before using the unit in a working environment.

AQ 5-gallon agitator lift blade

1) Loosen the 2 set screws on the blade using a 1/8” Allen wrench to remove the

blade (3099-AB05-000).

2) Slide the blade onto the AQ agitator blade shaft (3099-0520-055) until flush with

the bottom of the tube. Fasten the 2 set screws using the 1/8” Allen.

AQ lift guide bearing

1. Requires (2) 7/16 wrenches: Use a 7/16 wrench to hold the ¼” nut in place on the

backside of the AQ lift guide bearing (3077-BG55-606), then use the second 7/16

wrench to loosen the ¼”-20” hex bolt on the top side to remove the lift guide

bearing form the AQ 5-gallon lift guide plate.

20

2) Assemble the replacement lift guide bearing using ¼”-20 X 1-1/4” hex a flat

washer on the top side of the bearing, and then a flat and lock washer on the bottom

side of the lift guide plate that will be against the ¼” nut. Leave the lift guide bearing

semi-loose in order to adjust the bearing with the lift guide bar.

3) Install the lift guide bar thru the lift guide bearing and into the AQ agitator lift

base plate.

4) Adjust the lift guide bearing as needed for the lift guide bar to be coincident with

each other, then tighten the (2) ¼-20 hex head bolts to fasten the lift guide bearing

to the lift guide plate.

21

AQ Lift Speed Control Air Fitting

1) Detach the 3/8” airline connected to the speed control air fitting

2) Using a 11/16” wrench, loosen the speed control air fitting from the AQ lift tube

top cap by turning the nut attached to the fitting near the needle screw that

controls the down speed control.

3) Make sure the replacement speed control air fitting has thread sealant tape on the

threads, and fasten the fitting to the lift tube top cap.

4) The replacement AQ lift speed control air fitting will need to be adjusted to the

proper lift speeds. See page 6 for instructions on properly setting AQ
