NOTE: For most substrate a speed of 1–1.5M per minute (3-5 feet per minute) will give you the best results and ensure that the coating is cured. Prior to the end of substrate going past the Draw-Down Applicator, the Sealant Pump switch should be turned OFF and the Distribution Valves CLOSED.
  • Page 36 From the Main Screen on the Speed Control Display, press the TEMP Mode button. Set the desired temperature from the Process Data Sheet. Press the DRIVE START button.
