Page 12: Spraying Material
SPRAYING MATERIAL (TO BE DONE ONLY BY TRAINED PERSONNEL) WARNING! DO NOT START ENGINE WITHOUT ALL HOSES AND FITTINGS SECURELY INSTALLED. DOING SO MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND BURNS! Before Starting Engine: Drain solvent left-over in Pump/Plumbing from the previous cleaning. This will prevent the left- over solvent from being pumped into the Tank of new Material.
Page 13: Installing Optional Spray Bar Attachment
To make sure all left-over solvent from the previous cleaning is out of Hose and Spray Wand, hold tip of Spray Wand over a container and SLOWLY open Ball Valve on Wand to flush any solvent from Hose and Wand. Spray until an uninterrupted flow of material comes out of Wand. Close the Wand valve.
Page 15: Using Optional Spray Bar Attachment
SHUTTNG DOWN LP BURNER To shut down for an extended period, close the Main Valve on LP tank. This will allow the gas in the line to bleed out. The burners may run for a minute until the gas is purged. Close the Ball Valve attached to regulator.
Page 16: General Maintainence
GENERAL MAINTAINANCE Grease the pump twice a day; once at noon when the entire system is hot, and once at shut down at the end of the day. Use hi-temp grease. It is highly recommended that the engine oil be changed daily. Because of the heat involved with this application, oil breaks down much quicker than ordinary engine uses.
