Mix the Material
Always follow the material manufacturer’s instructions
for the material being sprayed. Material must be
thoroughly mixed to a smooth consistency before
loading it in the hopper.
Managing Material After Mixing:
•
Pay close attention to the work life of the material
being used.
•
Only mix the material kits as needed. Do not let
mixed material sit longer than necessary.
•
Scrape material down the sides of the hopper as the
hopper material level lowers. Do not let older
material cure on the walls.
•
To ensure that all material in the hopper is used
while fresh, occasionally wait until the hopper is
almost empty before refilling.
Prime with Material
Always push out any remaining water into a waste
container before circulating material. Always circulate
clean material back into the hopper for a few minutes
before beginning to pour.
1. Follow the
instructions.
2. Turn the flow adjustment knob (H) counterclockwise
until it stops.
3. Fill the clean hopper with material to be sprayed.
4. Place the hose outlet in a 5 gallon waste container.
5. Turn the motor power switch (S) to ON.
6. Turn the flow adjustment knob (H) clockwise slowly
to increase pressure until water is purged out and a
steady stream of material flows from the hose.
7. To stop dispensing, turn the flow adjustment knob
(H) counterclockwise until it stops.
8. Place the hose outlet into the hopper.
9. Recirculate a few gallons of material to be sure the
material is flowing properly.
10. Turn the flow adjustment knob (H) counterclockwise
to stop the pump.
The system is now primed and ready to spray.
NOTICE
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.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to pump seals caused by
cavitation, run the pump slowly until the system is
primed.
