Installation
7.
Optional:
Remove and relocate the mix
manifold.
It may be necessary to move the mix manifold (17)
closer to the object being sprayed to reduce the
length of mixed material fluid hose. This will help
reduce material waste and may be necessary
when using materials with very short work life.
NOTE:
Work life time
is the amount of time that a
material can be effectively sprayed and applied to
a surface.
To remove the mix manifold from the proportioner,
disconnect the fluid lines from the mix manifold
fluid line connectors (17d). Loosen the knob (58)
and lift the panel (16) off the unit. Place the mix
manifold in the location desired. Make sure the
mounting surface can support the weight of the
manifold, any hoses connected to it, and any
stress that may be applied during operation.
Connect the fluid lines, in the length required,
between the proportioner and the mix manifold. If
using more than 50 ft. (15.25 m) of hose between
the pump and the mix manifold, contact your
distributor for the recommended hose diameter for
the best ratio assurance.
Do not exceed a maximum of 300 feet (91.5 m) of
total hose length.
8.
Optional: Connect additional guns.
The standard proportioner has a three gun man-
ifold (44). See Fig. 10. Two of the 3/8 npt outlet
ports are plugged. The gun fluid hose (provided) is
connected to the bottom port.
WARNING
COMPONENT RUPTURE HAZARD
Do not
install a fluid shutoff device
between the heater and the gun.
To connect additional guns, remove the plug(s)
(37) and install shut-off valve(s) (SV) on non-
heated systems only. Then install the fluid hose(s)
and gun(s). Add a shut-off valve to the gun fluid
hose that is included with the proportioner.
NOTE:
Install hoses and guns in the lowest avail-
able manifold port to prevent mixed material from
solidifying in an unused area of the manifold.
