High Volume/Output RTM Systems Operations Manual

Getting Started
1. Unpack the unit and components.
2. Attach the resin supply hose to the inlet of the pump.
Note
The Patriot HV pump requires a 2-inch connection
from Tote, IBC, Day Tank, or a bulk supply system.
3. Connect the resin return hose from the recirculation gun to
the resin supply.
4. Connect the yellow outlet tube from the outlet side of the
flush tank to the flush valve on the injection gun.
5. Connect the red 4 mm tube to the fitting on the inlet side
of the quick exhaust of the pump in the flush tank.
6. Connect the ¼ inch pump inlet air tube to the inlet quick
exhaust on the top of the flush tank.
7. Fill the flush tank ¾ full with solvent.
CAUTION
Be sure the flush tank connections are correct or the equipment can be
damaged. It is important not to fill the flush tank more than ¾ full or solvent
can get into the air system and cause damage.
8. Check to make sure all hose fittings and connections are tight.
Note
The repair and maintenance of several components will require the use of
removable Loctite® 243 or equivalent thread lock compound, lithium grease
(Lubriplate 08465) or red grease (6706-2-1).
9. Connect to an appropriate air source.
Note
The machine is supplied with an inline filter and should be connected to an
unlubricated air supply. Ensure you do not exceed the maximum inlet air
pressure marked on the filter (1 Mpa; 10 bar; 145 psi).
Note
There is a sleeve valve on the rear of the enclosure so that air may be isolated
from the control box. Air should be removed from the unit when it is not in use
by sliding the isolation valve sleeve away from the control box.
Note
Following air supply loss, either by the sleeve valve or loss of main pressure,
when the supply is re-energized all controls revert to an off state. This is a
safety feature so that none of the valves or components will energize
unexpectedly and create an unsafe situation.
10. Slide the air valve on the back of the cabinet to the open position.
