Modifying Sealant Temperature Control Settings The Sealant Temperature Control on your CIMLINE ME2 Melter has been factory set to run the most common types of mastics. These mastics have an application temperature of 380° F (193° C) With some mastics, it may be require a change to the controller to achieve the appropriate application temperature.
YOU MUST CLARIFY with the supplier that the oil is to be used in a heat transfer system to avoid any potential problems. Oil is also available from CIMLINE in 5 and 30 gallon(19 and 114L) containers for ship-out.
NOTE: A dipstick (A) is provided for checking heat transfer oil level when cold. For oil level see Page 24. This is a petroleum based product. CIMLINE recommends that you do not mix oil brands. Mixing any oils (Engine oil, transmission fluid, etc.) adversely affects each manufacturers formula.
For more details about your engine please refer to the Engine Operator Maintenance Manual and Warranty provided with your Melter applicator. NOTE : When breaking in a new Melter, CIMLINE recommends running the engine for one hour with no load prior to actual use on the job. Air Cleaner Due to the dusty conditions that can be created by road work, it is essential to check the engine air cleaner element daily.
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 fill cap (B) of the HTO tank.
O-ring (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.
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 20 gallons (75L).

ME2 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 29
ME2 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 30
ME2 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.
Trouble Shooting Guide Problem Cause Solution Fuse burned out. Check fuse. Burner relay inoperative Check for 12VDC at relay. Burner will not ignite Primary control fuse. Check fuse. Thermocouple(s) inoperative. Replace thermocouple(s). Fuse burned out. Check fuse. Sealant material not hot enough. Allow material to heat longer.
