TIPS, PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS: CMP-632
Daily Maintenance
- Never permit either material tank to get below approximately 1/3 full.
- The most common cause of "cross-over" (materials hardening inside the applicator and hoses) is air in one or both materials. Damage and cost from cross-over is NOT covered under AST Corporation Warranty.
- Diverter discs and follower plates are a means of avoiding air entering materials. If high viscosity materials are being used, the operator must become informed in the use of these items prior to the starting of the system
- If gauges exhibit pressures that "peg" the gauge dial, immediately reduce air pressure at the systems air regulator.
- Do NOT install a disposable mixer nozzle to the applicator until positive air-free flow is achieved from both outlets of the applicator block tip.
- Air can be trapped in hoses during the filling of a new system at the time of hose replacement. To avoid trapping air, arrange the hose to obtain a continuous, gradual upward slope of the hose from the system hose fitting to the applicator while the system is cycling. Point the applicator tip upward to let the material push all the air out.
