Also, determine that all circuit breakers, switches, and controls and controls are properly set before assuming there is a problem. Problems Solutions Proportioning pump does not hold pressure when stalled.
  • Page 32 Cavitation are as follows: a) The transfer pump cannot handle the supply requirement or is malfunctioning. The Gusmer 2:1 Transfer Pump is recommended for use with the H-2000/H- 3500. Also recommended is a minimum of three-quarter inch diameter supply hose as short as practical.
  • Page 33: Figure 25. Hydraulic Manifold

    Operating Manual Troubleshooting d) An inlet valve ball and/or a leaking seat gasket that does not properly seat will permit some of the proportioned material to flow back towards the supply drum. When this happens, the proportioning pump will not pump the proper volume of material during the discharged stroke and an off-ratio condition will result.

    SERIOUS BODILY INJURY Disassemble and clean both proportioning pumps annually. Inspect the pistons and cylinder for mars or scratches, which may cause leakage or damage to packings. Gusmer also recommends replacing the piston and cylinder packings, expanders, and packing springs on an annual basis as a preventative maintenance precaution. (Refer to the Proportioning Pump Assembly section of the Parts I.D.

    ALLOW HEATER TO COOL TO AVOID BODILY INJURY FROM HOT FLUID OR HOT METAL The sheath on the H-2000 and H-3500 heating rods are made from a special alloy designed to be resistant to corrosion and erosion. However, eventually the service life of the rod will be reached and if the sheath should fail, fluid under pressure will leak into the heating element.
