START-UP
Check level of materials in containers, making sure level
is always over ¼ filled.
Clean off applicator dispense head with plastic mixer
nozzle removed
Verify smooth, air-free flow of both materials by
dispensing material into waste container. Check for two
smooth, consistent streams of material.
Wipe head clean and coat dispense head with compatible
lubricant.
Place new plastic mixer nozzle on dispense head with
retaining nut.
Dispense approximately 2 mixer volumes of material into
waste container.
Make 2 or 3 test samples to verify performance.
SHUT-DOWN
Remove static mixer nozzle.
Trigger applicator to relieve any pressure in lines or
system. Materials may ooze out of applicator.
Turn off or disconnect motor controller.
Fill dispense manifold with compatible lubricant. Fill each
zerk until material inside dispense manifold is replaced
with compatible lubricant.
Lubricate each pump:
o
Open bleed valve at bottom of pump.
o
Grease zerk at top of pump until material coming out of
bleed port is clean, fresh lubricant.
o
Close bleed valve & verify tanks are over 1/3 full.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Remove and clean any material residue or film with
compatible solvent (damp pad only – do not pour
solvent)
Lubricate with compatible lubricant.
If leakage appears at shaft, replace seals.
**Use caution when disassembling the Gerotor pump
making sure not to gouge or mar any of the internal
surfaces of the pump**
DISPENSE MANIFOLD MAINTENANCE
Clean threads & ports of dispense manifold
Remove & soak manifold in compatible solvent, if
necessary
Replace o-rings, packings & seals, if necessary
RATIO CHECK
Remove retainer cap and/or mixer nozzle
Trigger applicator; two separate beads of material will
appear; compare for correct volume
Replace o-rings, packings & seals, if necessary
TROUBLESHOOTING
VERY IMPORTANT: As soon as a problem is noticed,
immediately remove disposable mixer nozzle and try
dispensing material. This may prevent or purge material
crossover if it has not already hardened.
After static mixer is removed, THEN check the following:
Is the dispense manifold plugged? (Material set up)
Is there sufficient material in the tanks?
Is the machine dispensing on ratio?
If ratio is not correct:
Check if air is entrapped in the pumps or hoses
Check if the drive chain is loose or worn
Check if one or both of the pump sprockets are frozen
(Can the sprockets be rotated by hand?)
