Section 2 - Operation: Start-up Instructions Sec2:1 Start-up Instructions The following instructions are to be used as a guide for consistent and continual operation. Any deviation from the “ standard operation”, usually requires more maintenance to the equipment and material formulation to assure consistent results. For example: the use of fillers in resins. Solvent 3-way valve Before initial operation of any internal mix system, make certain the solvent flush set-up is fully operational. 1. Turn solvent regulator clockwise to approximately 65 psi. 3. Exhaust air through the gun head until...

Section 2 - Operation: Start-up Instructions CAUTION The valves should only be in the injection position during injection Sec2:1 → 3. Select desired percentage of catalyst and position the catalyst slave pump to that setting. CAUTION 4. Depress air switch button trigger on gun head to dispense mixed material. When making test material dispenses or during flushing operation, make certain that dispensed material and/or solvent is contained in a suitable container and that this material and/or solvent is disposed of properly. 7. Flush gun head thoroughly. Turn 3-way valve on top of the solvent...

Section 2 - Operation: Shut Down Instructions 5. Material pump should now be cycled so that shaft is Shut Down Procedure left in down position during shut-down period. Sec2:2 The purpose of the shut down procedure is to verify that all critical parts of the system, i.e., the mixing area, have been checked and cleaned to assure trouble-free start-up the next time the system is to be operated. 1. Turn both ball valves on gun head to “OFF”. (90˚) ↑ 6. If you are using fillers mixed into the resin, remem- ber on periods of shut-down, the fillers can settle to the bottom of the pump and...
