TIPS, PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGSVIP

Daily Maintenance

  • Keep the instruction manual.
  • Never permit either material tank to get below approximately 1/3 full.
  • A common problem is cross-over (one material crossing over into the other material's manifold and/or hose). Damage and cost from cross-over is NOT covered under AST Corporation Warranty. Cross-over can be avoided by carefully following instructions.
  • If the gauges display pressures that "peg" the needle, immediately remove air from machine.
  • Do not install a disposable mixer nozzle to the dispense manifold until positive air-free flow is achieved from both outlets of the applicator block tip.
  • Air can be trapped in hoses during filling of an empty system. To avoid trapping air, arrange the hoses to obtain a continuous gradual upward slope of the hose from the pump outlet to the applicator while the system is pumping at low speed. Point the dispense assembly upward to let the material push the air out.
