Daily Loading of Adhesive
1. Be sure that the adhesive level in tank does not drop below half full.
NOTE: Keeping the adhesive level in the tank above the half-full point
eliminates the problem of “starving” the pump due to lack of material
and also reduces the problems caused by charring of material.
2. Use a metal or plastic scoop to refill the tank with fresh, clean
adhesive to a point 1 inch (25 mm) below the top of the tank.
3. Immediately close the tank lid to prevent contamination of the
adhesive.
4. To prevent the adhesive supply from becoming contaminated, store
the fresh adhesive in a closed container.
NOTE: Foreign material in the adhesive supply may damage the pump,
clog the filter screen, or clog the tank strainer.

WARNING: To avoid possible equipment damage and
l
personal injury, refer to the information provided in Section 1
- Safety instructions before proceeding.
Be sure to check product compatibility before changing adhesives. If
they are compatible, an old adhesive may be purged out by the new
one. It is advisable to have only a small quantity of the old material in
the tank to avoid too much mixing between them. Remove the old
material by draining the applicator or by operating the unit until empty.
If the two different materials are not compatible, empty and flush the
applicator using a flushing solvent matched to the material by following
System Cleaning in Section 5 - Preventive Maintenance.
Properly dispose of flushed material and solvent by referring to the
manufacturers’ instructions and recommendations.
