Operation
Startup
The mixer manifold was tested in oil, which was left in to
protect the manifold. Before operating, thoroughly flush
the manifold to prevent contamination of the fluids.
Flushing Procedure
NOTE:
be sure to label all fluid path parts
“
component
A” or “component B” when disassembling them. Doing
so prevents interchanging A and B parts during reas-
sembly, which will contaminate the materials and the
fluid path through the equipment.
NOTE:
Color-coded chemically resistant tape may be
used to label the parts. Use blue for component A,
green for component B, white for solvent, and red for
mixed material.
Place the handle in the UP, or closed, position. Turn on
the solvent supply pump. Open one of the solvent
valves. Release the spray gun safety latch. Hold the gun
firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger
the gun to flush. Flush until all contaminants and oil are
removed. Release the trigger, engage the safety latch,
and close the solvent valve. Repeat for the other solvent
valve.
Any ratio check valves on the manifold output side must
be flushed. Place a container under both valves to catch
the waste solvent. Flush the valves after triggering the
gun, one side at a time.
Solvent may channel through viscous fluids and leave a
coating of mixed fluid on the inner tube of your hose.

and the right solvent valve open with solvent flowing
through the right fluid chamber and out through the
mixing chamber
.
Be sure all fluid is thoroughly flushed from the hose after
each use.
Disassemble all other dispensing equipment, as neces-
sary, and clean thoroughly.

NOTICE
To prevent fluid from setting up in the dispensing
equipment, flush the system frequently. Be sure there
is adequate solvent in the solvent supply before start-
ing to spray.
