START-UP
NOTE! Follow the recommended procedures in the order shown.
CAUTION! The Start-up procedures assume that all of steps in
Proportioner purging have been performed and no problems found.
1. Check the condition of the PMC pump lube in the Iso (A) Lube Reservoir (page 14).
Replace the PMC pump lube if you see significant changes in the color or signs of
solidification. Ensure inside of Reservoir is wiped clean.
2. Check the hydraulic fluid level and service as required.
3. Make sure the materials have been stored at the manufacturer's recommended
temperature. Ask your material supplier for information (Material Data Sheet) on the
minimum storage temperature.
4. Connect air supply to the two Transfer Pumps and ensure Air Valves are in the full
OPEN position. OPEN both Proportioner Material Inlet Ball Valves.
CAUTION! Remove all Heated Hose sections from coiled storage and
lay flat to eliminate heat build-up and possible Heated Hose failure.
5. Turn ON Main Power (Q page 11).
6. Turn ON Control Power (S, page 11).
7. Turn ON Hose Heater (T, page 11) and confirm material set-point temperature as
recommended by the material supplier or application conditions.
CAUTION! To avoid excessive pressure in the Proportioner, wait for
the Hose Heater to reach its set-point temperature before continuing.
8. Turn ON each Primary Heater and confirm material set-point temperature as required by
the material supplier or application conditions has been reached.
9. Turn ON Motor Power (W, page 12).
10. Set Pump Switch (X, page 11) to NORMAL. One of the Directional Indicator Lights (Y,
page 12) will light indicating Metering Pump direction and the Metering Pump Shafts will
begin to move.
NOTE! The Material Pressure Gauges (H, K, page 10) should be
approximately equal and remain constant throughout the Metering Pump
cycle. If not, refer to Trouble Shooting section.
