The trigger should be in the “LOCKED” position at all times except when intentionally pumping
material.
When the material temperature reaches 325 o F, turn “ON” the hose toggle switch. Adjust the
temperature dial to approximately 400 degrees. The hose will come up to temperature in
approximately 30 minutes. After the hose has reached its preset temperature, the light in the
control box will turn off and the temperature may be reduced to approximately 360 degrees. It
is advisable to run the hose at the lowest temperature setting possible. When you are ready to
dispense material turn the shutdown toggle switch to the “OFF” position.
DISPENSING THE MATERIAL
NOTE: PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, GLOVES, HARD-SOLED SHOES,
AND FACE SHIELD OR SAFETY GLASSES SHOULD BE WORN
WHEN OPERATING OR FILLING THIS EQUIPMENT. READ
ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING.
The wand is equipped with a disposable duckbill valve on the end, which shuts off the flow of
material when the pump is turned off and prevents excessive dripping of material. This valve
also directs the material into a stream for easy application onto the pavement. Other sealing
tips are
available. See your local distributor for options.
Some difficulty may be encountered when starting up on cold days. Although the wand is
designed to heat the material all the way down to the tip, on cold days it may be necessary to
place the tip of the wand under the lid to facilitate material melting in the valve. Insert the wand
tip for only a short time before proceeding.
When the material and the hose have reached proper application temperature, you are ready
to dispense material. Install bottom reed switch and cylinder should return to top. With the
wand tip inserted into the tank, depress trigger on the wand. Material should start to flow from
the tip of the duckbill valve. Adjust the stroke of the cylinder by moving the bottom reed switch
up or down for the desired rate of flow for the application and dispense material as required.
NEVER POINT THE WAND AT ANY PART OF THE BODY OR
AT ANY OTHER PERSON. HOT MATERIALS CAN CAUSE
SEVERE BURNS. WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WHEN
FILLING OR OPERATING THE EQUIPMENT. READ MANUAL
BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT.
