Flushing the Glue System
Follow the procedures for your system. These are general guidelines
only.
A mild vinegar-and-water solution (1 part vinegar, 10 parts water) should be used to flush the system. Water alone
can be used when you are simply changing adhesives or preparing the system for an extended period of downtime.
The entire system must be flushed when the following conditions apply:
A new adhesive formula is not compatible with the present formula. (Always consult your adhesive
supplier regarding compatibility between adhesive formulas.)
System shutdown exceeds 30 days.
Glue-line buildup causes an excessive pressure drop.
Excessive filter screen maintenance is required due to contaminated adhesive.
Lubricating the System
To lubricate the system, follow these steps:
1. Use lithium grease on all machined threads and fittings when servicing the system.
2. Grease quick-disconnect fittings frequently to prevent dried glue from causing excessive wear.
