Section 4: Setup
4.0 CONNECTING 40K MULTI-MODE VALVE
4.1 Use only fittings and hose that are related for at least 40,000 psi and
have a minimum burst rating of at least 100,000 psi.
4.2 Before connecting the gun and Multi-Mode Valve, all high-pressure
hoses should be purged by pumping water through the system to ensure
that dirt or other debris does not enter the system and cause damage or
overpressurization (plugged nozzle).
4.3 Check air lubricator oil level and fill if necessary to prevent damage
to control gun air motor.
4.4 Connect system components according to figures, but do not install
nozzles until step 5.11.
In Constant Pressure Mode or Shut-In Mode, each gun
operator must be connected to a Multi-Mode Valve in order to have inde-
pendent control of gun nozzle pressure at their location.
4.5 Apply anti-seize compound liberally to all stainless steel threads as
well as the cones and seats of all cone/seat connection types.
