4.4 Prevent Blocking
1. To prevent “Blocking” in the pump or hose follow the steps below:
a. Use the lowest pressure and largest nozzle size that provides an
acceptable spray pattern. This will also result in wear parts lasting
longer.
b. Do not use any more material hose than is necessary (minimum
15m).
NOTE: Before starting or stopping material flow, always have the
atomizing air turned on at the applicator before and after spraying
fluid.
4.5 Spraying
1. Prime with material (Refer to 4.3).
NOTE: Failure to flush prior to material curing in the system will
result in damage to the system and may require replacement of all
system parts in contact with material.
2. Turn on atomizing air and adjust the air output to the required level.
3. Turn the main power disconnect switch to ON and press the water
pump button and START button to spray material.
4. If the system is approaching its cure time, or if the system will be idle
for enough time for material to begin curing in the system then flush
the system.
