Startup of Heated Units Heatup Guidelines Heat Management Tips • Heaters perform better with lower flow rates or smaller mix modules. The fluids must be circulated from the pumps through the heaters, hoses, and back to the tanks • Triggering the gun for short periods helps maintain to ensure warm fluids are supplied to the gun.
Startup of Heated Units Heating Foam Resins with 245 fa At Cool Ambient Temperature (below 75°F/24°C) Blowing Agents New foam blowing agents will froth at temperatures • Use Fast Recirc to heat tanks to 75-90°F. above 90°F (33°C) when not under pressure, especially if agitated.

Pressure Relief Procedure Pressure Relief Shutdown Procedure For longer breaks (more than 10 minutes), use the following procedure. If you will be shut down for more than 3 days, first see Flushing, page 24. Follow all steps of Pressure Relief Procedure, Engage piston safety lock or trigger safety lock.
Maintenance Maintenance • Check pump wet-cups fluid level daily, page 15. • If using an impingement mix gun, close gun fluid valves A and B when not spraying. Doing this will • Do not overtighten packing nut/wet-cup. Throat keep the internal parts of the gun cleaner and pre- u-cup is not adjustable.
Flushing Flushing Shut off Heater Power (heated units only). Allow system to cool. Flush equipment only in a well-ventilated area. Do not spray flammable fluids. Do not turn on heaters while flushing with flammable solvents. • Generally, flush if you will be shut down for more than 3 days.
Page 25
Flushing To flush gun, refer to gun instruction manual. Wipe out any remaining material from the supply tanks. Fill each supply tank with 1-2 gal. (3.8-7.6 l) of solvent recommended by your material manufacturer. Purge Gun Hoses (Nonheated Units Only) Disconnect hoses from gun and secure back into the tanks for thorough cleaning with solvent.
