SECTION B – PAGE 23
NOTE: The Glue Shutoff Valve is a quick and conven ient manual component
used to shut off the flow of glue to the glue guns. This valve is used if a
defective gun needs replacement or for accidental spill emergency. When the
machine is sitting idle between production runs and the system is either filled
with glue or clean water, the shut off valve should be turned to the “off”
position. This will prevent liquid from siphoning back toward the pressure tank
if the pressure drops. This will also maintain glue line pressure from the valve
to the guns. This is necessary to keep all internal surfaces wet.

B.5 FILLING THE GLUE TANK
WARNING: Use rubber gloves and eye protection. Observe caution
when opening and pouring glue.
The glue tank level should be checked daily, and refilled when the reservoir is
¾ empty. The following instructions will assure that the glue tank is correctly
filled, and the unused glue is properly cared for.
CAUTION: The glue tank is precisely machined to maintain a secure
seal. When handling the glue tank and its components, be careful to
avoid damage.
STEP 1: Open the cabinet and remove the glue tank. Place the glue tank on
the floor next to the M-40, making sure not to over extend or tangle the air
and glue tubing.
