Be sure work area is adequately ventilated before starting any work on
adding or removing powder to the powder feeder. Operator should be
wearing respirator and gloves when handling powder. Breathing or
touching powders can be hazardous to your health.
Be sure work area is adequately ventilated before opening any carrier gas
valves. Drain the regulator of gas and release the regulator adjusting
screw before SLOWLY opening cylinder valves. ALWAYS stand away
from the direction of force when opening cylinder valves.
These notes are for hopper operation in any configuration.
1. Keep powder hose as straight as possible, especially near the
feed port.
2. Place HEATER switch in ON position to keep dry any powder
left in the hopper overnight.
3. A small amount of powder may continue to flow after the wheel
stops,
particularly in HVOF Pressurization Mode. The HP/HVOF version of
the feeder with pinch valves reduces this affect by pinching off the
powder feed tube and opening a carrier gas bypass.
