Flush Mixed Material

Flush Mixed Material
This procedure flushes out mixed material from system
to prevent it from curing in the system.
NOTE: Pot life of the mixed materials in the system is
much shorter than the dry time of dispensed epoxy
because mixed material potlife or working time
decreases with increased temperature.
Follow this procedure when you are finished spraying if
the potlife of the mixed materials in the system could
expire before you spray again.
1. If necessary, Prime Solvent Flush Pump, page 29.
2. Press to stop the metering pumps.
3. Trigger gun into a waste container to relieve pres-
sure then engage trigger lock.
4. Remove spray tip.
5. Close mix manifold ball valves.
6. Open one of the solvent flush valves on the mix
manifold.
7. Disengage trigger lock and trigger gun into a
grounded pail. Use a pail lid with a hole to dispense
through. Seal around hole and gun with a rag to pre-
vent splash back.
8. Open solvent pump air supply valve. Pull out and
slowly turn solvent pump air regulator clockwise to
increase air pressure. Use lowest pressure needed
to flush material out of hose.
9. Continue dispensing until clean flushing fluid is dis-
pensed.
10. Close the open solvent flush valve. Open the other
solvent flush valve. Continue dispensing long
enough for any remaining mixed material
11. Close solvent pump air supply valve.
12. Trigger gun to relieve pressure in solvent lines then
engage trigger lock.
• The equipment must be grounded to reduce the
risk of static sparking and electric shock. Hold gun
firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into
pail.
• Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the
body.
• Solvent can irritate eyes, nose, throat, and skin.
Hot fluid and parts can burn skin. Wear appropri-
ate protective wear when using flush solvents
and/or if fluid temperature exceeds 110° F (43° C).
• Keep clear of moving parts.
