This manual cannot identify and answer all questions or problems. It is strictly a guide and starting point for
the most common problems encountered. We suggest that you read this section carefully before you begin
installation or operation of the equipment. If problems cannot be corrected using this guide, please contact
FSI’s Application Specialist at 1-800-325-4875 .
This section has been divided into the following categories:
1. Chemical Flow Characteristics
2. Leaks
3. Foam Characteristics
CHEMICAL FLOW CHARACTERISTICS
Problem: No Chemical Flow
Probable Causes:
1. Ball Valves in the OFF (Closed) position.
2. Stratoflex fittings not properly connected.
3. Chemical cylinders empty.
4. Mix Tube or gun head assembly is plugged.
5. Flow controller is plugged or frozen.
6. Check valve plugged or frozen.
7. Lack of nitrogen pressure.
Corrective Actions:
1. Make sure that all ball valves are in the ON (Open) position.
2. Disconnect Stratoflex fitting. Make sure grease and debris is cleaned out of fitting. Reconnect and make
su re Strat is tightened all the way down.
3. Check Float Level Gauge on chemical cylinders to make sure adequate chemical is present and
continue operation.
4. Remove Mix Tube and inspect for clear passage. Install new Mix Tube if needed. Inspect gun head
assembly and remove contamination if possible. Replace Mix Cartridge if necessary. Replacement of
Mix Cartridges will be routine.
5. Remove flow controller, clean and inspect for contamination in the port area. Make sure piston moves
freely. If piston is frozen, the flow controller must be replaced.
6. Disconnect check valve. Examine check valve by depressing the ball. The ball should spring back.
If not, replace and reassemble.
7. Turn on nitrogen at 240–245 p.s.i.
Problem: Crystals continually plug A-SIDE flow controller.
Probable cause:
1. A-SIDE has plated on the inside of the chemical line due to moisture contamination.
Corrective action:
1. Replace A-SIDE chemical hose. Contact FSI for assistance.
