5.6 Dispensing the Material
Step Action
WARNING
Put on protective clothing, gloves, hard-soled shoes, and face shield or safety glasses
when operating or filling this machine. Read the entire manual before operating the
machine.
Never point the wand at any part of your body or at any other person. Hot materials
can cause severe burns.
Important: 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 you can place the tip of the wand into the shoebox to facilitate material melting in
the valve. Insert the wand tip for only a short time before proceeding.
1 Allow the material to reach 380°F (139.3°C) and the hose to reach 380°F (139.3°C); or
proper operating temperatures.
2 Turn the pump speed control to the lowest setting by turning the speed control knob
fully clockwise.
3 With the wand tip inserted in the shoebox on top of the melter, depress the trigger on
the wand and slowly increase the pump speed by turning the speed control knob
counterclockwise until the pump motor starts to turn and material flows from the tip of
the duckbill valve.
4 Adjust the pump speed to the desired rate of flow.
5 Dispense the material as required.
Note: The rate of flow can be varied while the pump is running by rotating the control
knob.
5.7 About the Active Screen Pump Protection
The pump is completely encircled by a protective screen. The screen prevents anything larger than
½ inch (1.27 cm) in size to pass from the sealant tank into the pump suction port. The screen
continuously rotates 360 degrees around the pump whenever the sealant agitator is engaged. The
active screen protects the pump from foreign object damage and self-cleans as it rotates around the
sealant pump and suction port.
