WARNING: Fire, explosion, personal injury,
property and equipment damage can result if the
materials used in or around any hot melt supply
equipment, do not meet the following requirements.
5.2 Startup
1. Minimum flash point of the material to be 50 °F (28 °C) above
user's operating temperature.
2. Liquid and vapor to be non-toxic and non-flammable at
operating temperature of the hot melt equipment.
3. The mixing of materials (cleanout and adhesives, or different
brands of adhesives) do not react violently to produce the
following:
a. Heat or flames (exothermic reaction).
b. A toxic gas as a by-product of the reaction.
c. Crosslinking, or the disabling of the adhesive's ability to
melt at its designed temperature.
4. Material must not corrode or otherwise weaken hot melt
equipment.
5. Always read the manufacturer's recommended use of the
material.
6. Become familiar with controls by reading section 5.1: Controls
and Indicators.
7. Install the KB Series melt unit as specified in section 4.
8. Fill tank with hot melt material, 1-1/2 inches from the top.
9. Turn the melt unit On and allow 30 minutes warm-up time.
10. Set hose and tank temperatures to desired settings. Lower
settings will increase the material's pot life.
NOTE: Certain product assembly materials will degrade over time
due to oxidation. It is best not to put more material in the tank than
are used in one day. Set the tank temperature as low as feasible for
each specific application. To prevent stalling of the motor, adjust
the flow control valve so the pump is partially bypassed.
