MAJOR COMPONENTS
1. Flush Tank
Flush tank contains the fluids used to flush and clean out the pump and system.
2. Igniter
Igniter is used to light the burners for heating. Caution should be
used with this because of the gas engine and the fuel in the flush
tank. Also, make sure there are no gas flames in the exhaust
stacks.
3. Engine
Engines available on the tack distributor are either Honda or Briggs & Stratton. These are gas engines
and clean gas should be used at all times.
4. Jack Stand
Jack stand is used to hook and unhook the unit from the truck. Caution should be used when unhooking
unit to make sure wheels are scotched so unit will not roll.
5. Relief Valve
Relief valve adjusts pressure of the pump. It is recommended to have the least amount of pressure on
the valve to prolong the pump life. Set relief valve pressure on initial start-up.
6. Fill Neck
Fill neck is where you fill tack tank. Make sure splash plate is in place.
7. Propane Tank
Propane is used to heat tack. The tank pressure should range from eight (8) to ten (10) lbs. of pressure.
8. Burners
Right and left burners heat the tack. Before lighting, make sure valves to burners are off. They should be
lit with igniter only. Make sure tack level is three (3) inches above burner and unit is sitting level.
9. Spray Wand
Spray wand is used to spray tack. It has an on/off ball valve that lets you spray small areas and pave-
ment edges. Care and caution must be used to keep the nozzle clean and the line flushed after each
use. WARNING: You should never attempt to clean nozzle out or remove nozzle while machine is
running. The line can become pressurized and spray tack on an individual. Hot tack causes harm
and/or injury.
10. Liquid Asphalt Valve
Liquid asphalt v
alve allows liquid asphalt to be pumped out of the tank and into the spray wand or spray
bar. It must be turned off to flush out the system. The only function of this valve is to retrieve tack from
the tank and should be off at all other times.
11. Distributor Valve
Distributor Valve is used to retrieve tack from lines and spraybar.
12. Circulating Tank Valve
Tank valve is used to circulate the tack back into the tank. It must be closed off to force the tack to the
spray bars and wand. It must be off while flushing the system.
13. Thermometer
Thermometer is used to measure temperature inside the tack tank.
Temperature should not exceed 190 deg. (F).
