Initial Startup
Perform this procedure on new systems. Systems are
tested at the factory with mineral oil and there will be
residual oil in the material lines. Flush new systems if A
or B material will not function properly if it contacts min-
eral oil.
1. Verify all procedures in the Setup section beginning
on page 14 have been properly performed.
2. Perform Adjust Packing Nuts on page 52.
3. Turn main power switch (BA) ON and verify the sys-
tem air inlet ball valve (E) is open. See F
IG
. 4 on
page 10 and F
IG
. 1 on page 7.
4.
If your A or B material will not function properly if it
mixes with a small amount of mineral oil,
perform
the remainder of this Initial Startup procedure once
with grounded pails of solvent instead of A and B
material pails. After performing this entire procedure
once with solvent, perform it a second time with the
A and B materials. Be sure to choose a solvent that
is compatible with your material and with the wetted
parts in this system. See Technical Data on
page 85.
5. Close both feed system air controls ball valves then
open the brass valve on the tank lid air assembly.
Air pressure gauge should read 0 psi. Close the
brass valve.
6. Disconnect the material circulation return line from
the side of each tank then cap the tank port. This
enables pushing the mineral oil out of the fluid lines.
Route the return lines into waste containers. See
F
IG
. 25.
NOTE: If the tank return lines are not disconnected on
the initial priming of the system, all of the oil in the mate-
rial lines will be pushed back into the tank and mixed
with the material, which will contaminate all of the fluid in
the tank.
7. Fill the tanks with material:
NOTE: If adding flush solvent, remove the platen from
the feed pump by loosening the two setscrews and the
air tube. Drop the feed pump directly into the pail.
a. Navigate to the Supply screen then press
to activate automatic tank filling. See page 73.
b. Remove the priming stick from the platen.
