HEAT TRANSFER OIL CONTROLLER: The control system on you CIMLINE melter has been factory set to not exceed the OEM heat transfer oil limits for maximum temperature. It is advised to only use heat transfer oil from CIMLINE.
M-Series 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
M-Series Start Up Procedure 5. PREPARE HOSE AND WAND: When the (green) hose ready light (A) is illuminated. A) Unlock the boom (B) by raising and displacing the locking pin. The boom is free to swing now. B) Place the wand in the recirculation port (C) and pin the trigger.
M-Series Clean Out / Shut Down Procedure 1. SET ROTARY SWITCH OUTSIDE CONTROL BOX TO “CLEAN OUT”: The clean out function on the control box will reverse the sealant material pump and begin to evacuate the wand, heated hose and internal plumbing of a majority of the sealant material and return it back to the sealant material tank.
Page 17
M4 Dual Hose Clean Out / Shut Down Procedure METHOD #1 1. SET AUXILIARY HOSE CONTROL PANEL SWITCH (A) TO “AUTO”: The clean out function on the auxiliary hose will run concurrently with the primary hose cleanout procedure on the main control box. Follow all instruction for the auxiliary hose as you would on the primary hose (as described on the previous page).
M-Series Sealant Material Tank Capacity The amount of sealant material can be estimated by measuring the distance from the top of the tank to the sealant material. (When Material is cold) To maintain safe operation of trailer while in transport, WARNING do not fill tank more than 75% of total tank capacity.
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.
Due to the dusty conditions that can be created by road work, it is essential to check the engine air cleaner element daily. Remove element and shake out the accumulated dust and dirt. Wipe out dirt from inside cover and from housing. Reference engine manual for washing instructions. CIMLINE recommends stocking replacement filters.
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. PN 409185 (M1 & M2), PN 409186 (M4, M4 Dual and MA4).

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.
M-Series 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.

M-Series Maintenance - Recirculation Valve Timing SEALANT MATERIAL RECIRCULATION VALVE: The material sealant pumping system relies on a mechanical valve to direct the flow of material either to the application hose and wand or in recirculation mode back to the tank. This valve is operated by a hydraulic actuator and is connected to the recirculation valve shaft by a clamp and two set screws.
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).

M-Series 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
M-Series 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
M-Series 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.

M-Series Maintenance - Tank Burner Bleeding The Fuel Supply Line (Older Melter Units): More recent CIMLINE Melters us a Clean-Cut Fuel Pump on the Beckett Burner units. These more modern fuel pumps are self priming and this process should not be needed.
