NOTE :
If the transfer pump pressure is adjusted too high, it will over pressure the proportioning
unit, and affect the ratio.
H. Apply enough pressure to the main pump to achieve a proper fan pattern. Apply material
in accordance with the procedures recommended herein.
A minimum of two ratio checks per shift is required. An additional ratio check is required
before starting a pump which has been repaired, or after a continuous down time of
more than one hour. Static mixers shall be examined and changed after every 2 hours
of continuous spraying, and the mixing block and valves leading to it shall be inspected
and cleaned after the days work is completed. All other maintenance procedures
specified by the pump supplier shall be followed.

found in this manual.
Note : THERMO-LAG 3000-SP must be thinned up to 3% with Toluene or Plasite Thinner
#19 only. Thinning the material will increase the pot life of the material, however it will slow
the curing process. CARBOLINE must approve the use of other thinners prior to start up.
3.2.1 EQUIPMENT STARTUP PROCEDURE
Material shall be pre-heated to a minimum of 70
˚
F (21
˚C)
It is important that the pump and all lines are clean and free from any contamination.
If half filled containers have been supplied, add thinner into part B and mix thoroughly.
Stage Part B onto Part A and mix thoroughly. Thinning will decrease the amount of material
which can be applied in one coat and decrease the rate of cure.
If full containers are supplied, it is required to mix Parts A and B before splitting containers in
half. Make sure that there are equal volumes of each. Follow instructions listed above.
