h.
Install pail of material beneath feed pump
platen.
i.
Back out the air regulator (DB) then lower the
RAM director valve (DC).
j.
Slowly adjust the air regulator (DB) to increase
air pressure until the RAM begins to lower. Use
air regulator to adjust RAM speed.
k.
Ensure platen is centered on pail when it
contacts it. Repeat previous steps until platen is
centered on pail.
l.
Adjust air regulator (DB) to increase air
pressure until the RAM presses into the pail.
Install priming stick once fluid begins exiting the
priming stick hole.
NOTE:
New platen components may be stiff and resist
entering the pail. Continue increasing pressure up to 80
psi until platen enters the pail. If it does not enter at 80
psi, the thick clear packing on the platen may need to be
flipped upside down so the wider diameter side is up
and the smaller diameter side is down.
m. With the platen pressing into the fluid, slide the
air motor slider valve (DF) to the ON position.
See F
. 32. Feed pump will start cycling.
Continue pumping until pail is empty or desired
amount of fluid has been added to the tank.
Slide the air motor slider valve (DF) to the OFF
position to stop the feed pump.
n.
To lift the platen out of the pail, press the
blow-off valve (DD) then lift the director valve.
The feed pump will push pressurized air into the
pail to remove it from the platen. Do not let the
pail lift off of the frame. If it does, lower the
platen then retry.
o.
Repeat the previous steps as necessary until
both tanks are filled to desired level. Do not
overfill the tank.
9.
Open both ball valves (CS, CT) on the feed module
air controls.
10. If not already set, adjust the feed module settings:
a.
Use regulator on the feed module air controls to
set tank air pressure to 60 psi.
b.
Adjust silver knob on agitator until it reaches
30 rpm.
c.
Adjust silver knob on tank heated fluid
circulation pump until it reaches 60 cpm.
d.
If there is no solvent in the tanks,
adjust tank
water heater knob until the 4 is at the 12 o’clock
position then check temperature when the
heater indicator light turns off. Adjust setting
then repeat until desired temperature is
achieved.

Use the minimum pressure possible to lift the platen
out of the pail to minimize material splattering when
the platen exits the pail.

To reduce the risk of explosion, never turn on heaters
when solvent is in the system.
