Setup Operation
6. Operation
Attention
Prior to startup, make sure the generator has fuel.
Running out of fuel will cause electrical uctuations
in the system that could result in damage to the
electrical components of the system.
6.1 Startup
1. If using a generator, make sure the main breaker on the
generator is in the OFF position.
2. If using a generator, start the generator. Allow it to run to full
power.
3. If using an air compressor to power the transfer pumps, start
the compressor, making sure the bleed valve is in the closed
position on the compressor.

Attention
Do not turn on the block heater or hose heater ON/
OFF switches ON yet. Turning the hose heaters on
when there is no uid in the hoses can cause damage
to the hoses.
5. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valves on both of the Component
Pumps to SPRAY.
6. Open the uid inlet valves. Check for leaks.
7. Place the coupling block (with hoses attached) over two
separate, grounded waste containers. Make sure the ports on
the manifold each aim into a dierent container.
NEVER mix components A and B during startup. Use
two separate grounded waste containers to keep
Component A and Component B separate.
9. While holding the coupling block over the waste containers,
slowly open uid valves A then B. Allow them to remain open
until clean, air-free uid comes from the valves.
10. Close uid valves A then B.
6.2 Set temperature
i
Refer to section 4. to review temperature controls.
Equipment surfaces can become hot. To avoid
severe burn injury:
1) Do not touch hot uid or equipment.
2) Allow equipment to cool completely before
coming into contact with it.
3) Wear gloves when dealing with temperatures
in excess of 110ºF (43ºC)

The top number (2) on the heater block displays the
actual temperature. When the light (3) goes out, the
block heater is suciently heated.

b. Using the heated hose controls, set the heated hoses to the
desired temperature. Press the (

button until the bottom set
of numbers (1) shows the desired temperature.
c. The temperature settings of the heated hoses can also be
adjusted to balance spraying pressures as well as the desired
ViscosityCompension(Vis-Comp).

Adjusting the hose heat should ONLY be a secondary
method of achieving the correct Vis-Comp. Use the
Vis-Comp Screen on the Control Display rst.
