5.8 Shutting Down and Cleaning Out the Machine
When shutting down the machine for the day, Crafco recommends leaving the melter about half full
with material. This will give a fairly rapid heat up rate in the morning, but allows enough material to
start dispensing right away when the material becomes molten.
Step Action
1 Leaving the hose in the boom, swing the boom clockwise towards the front of the
machine and lock the boom into position with the latch provided.
CAUTION
DO NOT kink or twist the hose or permanent damage may result.
2
Place the wand in the wand holder and lock the wand into position with the latch
provided.
3 Reverse the pump for approximately 30 seconds.
4
Turn the mixer toggle switch to the “OFF” position.
5
Turn the “POWER” switch to the “OFF” position.
6
Stop the engine by turning the key to the “OFF” position.
5.9 Storing the Machine
Store the machine in an area where moisture cannot enter the heating system such as the heat
transfer oil tank, etc. Extended down time can cause moisture build up in the heating tank.
Evidence that moisture has collected in the heat transfer oil is a constant popping noise. If this
popping noise is heard, warm the heat transfer oil to 300°F (148.9°C) for two to three hours to
evaporate the moisture. Failure to follow this procedure will cause the heat transfer oil to overflow
the tank resulting in possible machine damage and/or personal injury.
Best practice is to check in the material tank prior to starting the burner. If water is present, try and
remove as much as possible, heat the material to 300°F (148.9°C) for two to three hours to
evaporate the moisture. Failure to follow this procedure will cause the material to overflow the tank
resulting in possible machine damage and/or personal injury.
Store the machine for longer periods with the material tank empty.
