If applicable, complete the melter installation by connecting the guns to the

Before using the melter for production, it should be flushed to remove any

processing a minimum of one tank volume of hot melt through the melter,
hoses, and guns.

operating the melter.
You can transfer melter settings between melters, and upgrade or
