Close the dual shutoff handle (AE) and open the cir-
culation handle (AC).
10. Always flush the mix hose after relieving A and B
fluid pressure through the mix manifold. See
Flush
Mixed Material
, page 26.
11. Shutoff the solvent supply pump and repeat steps
6-8 to relieve solvent pressure.
If the mixed material has already been flushed, but
pressure remains on the A and B pumps, pressure
can be relieved back to the hoppers (J).
a.
Close the main air shutoff valve (CA).
b.
Open the circulation handle (AC).
NOTE: For longer valve life in abrasive fluids, it is
advisable to relieve high pressure out through the
gun when possible.
12. If you suspect the spray tip or hose is clogged or
that pressure has not been fully relieved after follow-
ing the steps above, very slowly loosen tip guard
retaining nut or hose end coupling to relieve pres-
sure gradually, then loosen completely. Clear hose
or tip obstruction.
13. If static mixer, whip hose, and gun cannot be flushed
because of mixed and cured material, very slowly
loosen static mixer tube from mix manifold outlet to
relieve pressure gradually, then loosen completely.
Replace or clean clogged components.
