To prevent material curing in system, never load
material into a dry system. Loading material into
a dry system will cause the material to stick to
internal components and cure, causing damage
and requiring replacement of those parts.
1.
Fill the hopper with clean water.
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE: Some materials require a slicking agent
to be run through the hose. Consult the material
manufacturer for recommendation.
2.
Turn the flow adjustment knob (H)
counterclockwise until it stops.
3.
Place the applicator into a waste container.
4.
Turn the motor power switch (S) to ON.

To prevent damage to pump seals caused by
cavitation, run the pump slowly until the system
is primed.
6.
Run the clean-out ball(s) to coat the inside of
the hoses.
a.
Remove the applicator from the end of the
hose.
b.
Remove the hose inlet from the pump outlet
and place a hose clean-out ball within the
hose inlet. The ball must be wetted down
before inserting. If using a 1 in. whip hose,
begin with the smallest clean-out ball.
c.
Reattach the hose to the pump outlet and
turn the motor power switch (S) to ON to
resume flushing the hose.
d.
The clean-out ball will be pushed out of the
hose after several minutes. Once the ball
is pushed through the hose, turn the motor
power switch (S) to OFF.
e.
If using a 1 in. whip hose, remove the
hose and transition fitting and repeat the
process using the large clean-out ball on the
remaining hoses. Once the ball is pushed
out, pump out the remaining water in the
hopper, then reattach the transition fitting
and whip hose.
7.
Remove the hose inlet from the pump outlet and
walk the water out of the hoses.
a.
Starting at the pump, raise the hose bundle
above your head and slowly move towards
the applicator end. As you move towards the
applicator end, the remaining water will drain
from the hoses.
8.
Detach the hopper from the pump (see
Hopper Removal, page 22
) and properly dispose
of any remaining water according to local and
state regulations.
9.
Use a screwdriver to lift the pump lower inlet ball
and drain the remaining water from the pump
lower. Once the pump stops draining, release
the lower inlet ball.
10. Reattach the hopper to the pump.
11. The system is ready to prime with material.
