_________________________________ CONTACTING CIMLINE At Cimline, impressing the customer is one of our core values. We want to make sure you are covered for any general or technical questions you may have on your new CIMLINE equipment. Please use the following information to get the support you need if this manual does not provide the answers you are looking for.
Personal Safety OPERATOR MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND ENTIRE OPERATORS MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING. THIS PAGE ONLY PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF SAFETY INFORMATION The melter operates at elevated temperature which can cause WARNING burns. Operator and anyone working in close proximity to hot materials must always wear protective clothing.
Trailer Safety GENERAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS: Operating this machine requires workers to perform work behind the trailer, it is critical to perform the work safely. Communication between the tow vehicle driver and worker is critical. Worker and tow vehicle driver must stay in communication, use an audible device or visual signals to communicate. A worker must never ride on the trailer or position him or herself between the tow vehicle and trailer when the tow vehicle is running.
Maximum Safe Operational Sealant Material Tank Capacity is 307 Gallons NOTICE A sealant material depth gauge is included to assist in monitoring the sealant material level in the MA4. Product specification may change without notice. Images contained in this manual may differ from the actual product.

(or with the key fob remote). See page 20 for more information on the tip control keypad 17) Key Fob Remote Transmitter: The MA4 comes with 1 wireless remote to activate the application of sealant material from the application bar. The key fob remote transmitter also can control which of the 5 spray tips are actively applying sealant material.
MA4 Control Panels and Their Functions MAIN CONTROL PANEL: The Main Control Panel is used to operate the melter control system. Controls located on the outer cover are for operating in AUTO mode only. OFF: Shuts down power to the control panel, the sealant material pump, agitator and burner.
Page 11
MA4 APPLICATOR ELECTRONIC CONTROL DISPLAY: The MA4 Applicator Electronic Control Display is used to control the application rate of the sealant material that is being applied. System status, spray bar position, material readiness, rate of flow and pump RPM are all controlled by this computer control panel.

OEM heat transfer oil limits for maximum temperature. It is advised to only use heat transfer oil from CIMLINE. See Page 22 for heat transfer oil information and specifications. AGITATOR READY LIGHT (Green): This LED light indicates that the heat transfer oil has reached the preset temperature and if the unit is running in the auto mode, the hydraulic circuit for the agitator will be activated.
MA4 Start Up Procedure LOAD FRESH SEALANT MATERIAL INTO TANK: All sealant material must be clean. Keep all foreign matter out of melting tank to avoid damage to pump and systems. 1) Open the material door (A) and place the block of sealant material (B) on the open door against the holder (C).
Page 15
MA4 Start Up Procedure 4. PREPARE PUMP FOR SEALANT MATERIAL CIRCULATION: When the green “MATERIAL PUMP ENGAGED” light illuminates the sealant material pump should be visibly rotating: A) Open the main tank valve (A) at the pump, turn to fully “OPEN”.
Page 16
MA4 Start Up Procedure 8. ACTIVATE THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL DISPLAY: Press the “ACTIVATED/DEACTIVATED” button on the computerized applicator control panel. A) Verify the top left button is set to “ACTIVATED” and the light next to the but- ton is illuminated green.
BOX TO “COOL DOWN”: The “Cool Down” function on the control box will shut down all functions on the MA4 except the sealant material agitator. The cool down step should be run for a minimum of 30 minutes. Following this process will allow the sealant material to more evenly cool down and increase longevity of the material re- maining in the tank.
20 Gallons 40 Gallons TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL LEFT IN THE MA4 TANK: A) Remove the depth gauge plate from the cabinet. B) Open the material door and vertically place the depth gauge just barely touching the top of the sealant material (B).
OTHER MELTER NOTES: On a new CIMLINE Melter Applicator or a unit that has been idle for some time, it is recommended that you slowly raise the oil temperature to 250ºF (121°C) and hold there for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. This will help evaporate any water condensation that may be in the oil chamber.
This signifies that the transmitter is in teach mode. 3. Turn the MA4 engine key “ON”. The LED lights on the key fob remote will stop flashing after a few seconds. Synchronizing is complete. You can confirm that the key fob remote is communicating with the electronic control unit by observing the “Wi-Fi”...
NOTICE (Always check your local and state regulations before disposal). These are petroleum based products. CIMLINE recommends that you do not mix oil brands. Mixing any oils (Engine oil, transmission fluid, etc.) adversely affects each manufacturers formula. HEAT TRANSFER OIL EXPANSION TANK...
To insure maximum safety and performance, CIMLINE recommends you purchase your oil through CIMLINE directly. CIMLINE heat transfer oil can be ordered in 5 or 30 gallon (19L and 114L) bulk quantities and is also included when ordering a CIMLINE maintenance kit part #409186 (M4 & MA4).
MA4 Maintenance Schedule Every Manual Every Every Every Every 500 Hrs. Maintenance Schedule / Operation Page 25 Hrs. 100 Hrs. 200 Hrs. Number Yearly Check engine fuel level (add if low) Check engine oil and heat transfer oil (add if low)
The melter operates at elevated temperatures which can cause WARNING burns. Be sure the heat transfer oil is cool before performing maintenance. Using oil that does not meet CIMLINE Heat Transfer Oil NOTICE specification is cause for a voided warranty. CHANGING/REPLACEMENT OF HEAT TRANSFER OIL: 1) Remove the dipstick (A) and the larger hex head cap (B) on the top of the expansion tank (C).
The material pump is sealed by a series of compressible fibrous braded graphite packing rings, If tightening does not reduce the leaking, replace these packing rings. Contact your CIMLINE dealer for packing ring kit and follow the instructions below to replace.
MA4 Maintenance - Sealant Material Plumbing Material Plumbing Its important to check the torque of the nuts on the plumbing flanges, check the torque of the nuts after the initial 8 hours of run time, then every 200 hours after that.
HYDRAULIC OIL: Use high quality Conoco MV32 or equivalent hydraulic oil. CIMLINE recommends that you do not mix oil brands. Mixing any oils (Engine oil, hydraulic oil, etc.) adversely affects each manufacturers formula. The maximum capacity of the hydraulic reserve tank is 33 gallons (125L).

(B) into the tank while replacing the filter cup (A) into the return filter base. 9) Place a new filter cartridge (C), Cimline part number 170407, into the filter cup (A) and seat properly all the way into the cup.
C. Inspect the diesel supply system. All fittings should be leak-tight. D. Verify the nozzle is the one originally specified by CIMLINE and always replace the nozzle with one having the exact specifications from CIMLINE.

MA4 Maintenance - Tank Burner TANK BURNER TROUBLESHOOTING: Oil burners that are designed for use on road maintenance equipment are built to take temperature extremes, vibration, and rough handling. When performing the following troubleshooting steps, we assume that the oil burner motor and ignition transformer operate continuously and the oil solenoid valve, which controls oil flow, is cycled by the equipment controls.
Page 32
MA4 Maintenance - Tank Burner Igniter Maintenance: The igniter assembly does not require any adjustments beyond making sure the springs and the burner electrode rods make solid contact when the igniter is in the closed position. The sealing surfaces of the gaskets should be checked and replaced at the first signs of any damage or deterioration.
Page 33
MA4 Maintenance - Tank Burner Primary Controller: The Beckett ADC tank burner motor is used to drive the blower and pump. The rotational speed of the motor is determined by the voltage supplied and the load placed on the motor. Pump pressure and air settings are the main factors affecting the motor load.
