EZ 500 Series II Melter Part Manual Chapter 5 Operating Instructions 5.0 Operating Instructions The Crafco EZ 500 Series II was developed to melt Crafco sealants. However, it works well with most road asphalt and federal specification crack or joint sealants. Note: DO NOT attempt to operate the machine without using these and all other instructions.
Note: Do not twist or bend the hose over sharp edges such as the edge of the frame or tank. Crafco, Inc. recommends you do not work directly under the boom; this may cause damage to the hose. Follow all machine instructions in this manual.
5.10 Shutting Down and Cleaning Out the Machine When shutting down the machine for the day, Crafco recommends leaving the melter about half full with material. This will give a fairly rapid heat up rate in the morning, but allows enough material to start dispensing right away when the material becomes molten.
The center of gravity of the loaded machine should be above or in front of the rear main axle. Contact Crafco for help in determining the location of the center of gravity of your machine before mounting.
Note: Refer to the material manufacturer’s instructions for recommendations. Follow the recommended maintenance per Table 6-1 Maintenance Chart For service, find a list of authorized Distributors and service centers at Crafco.com/Distributors. 6.14 General Maintenance Parts Table 6-3 General Maintenance Parts...
