Tack Tank (optional)
An optional tack tank is available to pre-heat the tack oil used to obtain better repairs. The
tack tank incorporates its own heating system similar to the systems used to heat the Pre-Mix
Heater. Burner operating instructions for the tack tank are included with the burner instruc-
tions for the Pre-Mix Heater main hopper on the previous pages.
Pumping System (optional w/ tack tank)
An optional pump may be installed on the tack tank to pump the tack material through dis-
pensing equipment, such as a hose and wand. The pump may be driven by a gas or diesel
engine, or by an electrical or hydraulic system. The plumbing must be purged of tack material
when finished to prevent plumbing freeze-up. This is done by reversing the pump to suck the
material out of the system. An optional flush tank may also be installed to further flush the
system of any remaining material.
1. Circulate. In this operation the contents of the tack tank are pumped through the wand
pressure control valve and directed back to the tank to aid in heating and mixing.

2. Spray Wand. In this operation the contents of the tank are pumped to the spray wand for
application to the road surface.
a. Set wand pressure control valve to "Wand" position.
b. Set valve on top of tank to "Product" position.
b. Engage pump in “Forward” direction.
c. Open valve on spray wand to apply tack material.
3. System Purge. (suck back) In this operation the pump is “Reversed” to purge the product
from the system.
a. Disengage pump.
b. Set wand pressure control valve to "Wand" position.
c. Set valve on top of tank to "Product" position.
d. Open valve on wand, then engage pump in “Reverse” for two minutes.
