5. Next the operator should set the Emulsion Flow Rate dial to about half way and then flip the Emulsion
switch to “ON” starting the flow of emulsion. Rotate the Emulsion Flow Rate dial until the spray coming
out of the nozzle resembles the spray similar to that of a can of spray paint. Lightly coat (or tack) the area
to be repaired with emulsion. Note: When tacking a non-absorptive surface use a light coat of tack to
prevent bleeding of the excess emulsion. When repairing an absorptive area, such as a gravel road, use
enough emulsion to reach a solid surface underneath. After you have tacked the area DO NOT turn off or
adjust the Emulsion Flow Rate dial.
6. While the emulsion is still spraying from the discharge nozzle the operator should place the Rock switch
(small toggle located on the wand controls) in the “ON” position. This starts the flow of aggregate. Dial in
the Throttle so that the rock is spraying evenly and not clogging the hose. Further adjustments to the
Emulsion Flow Rate dial imay be needed to achieve a salt and pepper looking mixture. This mixture is still
black but allows you to see some of the natural color of the stone being used. Avoid using excess
emulsion as this may cause the repair to “bleed” in hot weather.
7. When the repair is up to the desired level with the aggregate emulsion mixture, toggle the Emulsion
switch to “OFF”. This stops the flow of emulsion so the machine is only distributing clean aggregate at
this point. Cover the repair with a light coat of clean aggregate to prevent traffic from tracking any
emulsion from the patch while curing. After the desired coating of dry aggregate is achieved flip the Rock
toggle to the “OFF” position. The aggregate will continue to flow until the blower airstream empties any
remaining aggregate left in the hose. The repair is now complete.
8. Repeat “Making a patch” steps for each repair
If operator throttles down the engine for any reason
between repairs, clear all rock from the aggregate
pipe and hose first to prevent clogging
Cleanup
1. When you are finished with the P1 Patcher and are ready to store the unit overnight or any extended time,
the emulsion supply line must be purged with diesel or other solvent.
DO NOT use bio-diesel or any solvent containing
Methyl Ester. Use of these products with the P1
Patcher will void the warranty of the hoses
2. With the engine running at about 1800 rpm place the discharge nozzle into the catch tank
3. Rotate the pump valve to “Solvent”.
4. Flip the Emulsion switch to “ON” and turn the Emulsion Flow Rate dial to about 1/2 way. The diesel /
solvent will force any remaining emulsion from the pump and hose.
5. Toggle the Emulsion switch to “OFF” when only solvent is coming out of the discharge nozzle.
6. Turn the engine off and keep the pump valve set to solvent.
7. Secure boom and the discharge hose on their respective holders
NEVER transport the P1 Patcher without the boom
latched and properly secured
