5. Remove the charging hose from the resin accumulator. Check the top of the
accumulator for air leaks by applying a light fluid (water) to the top of the
accumulator valve body. If air leaks remove and repair charging valve.
6. Close the gun and flush into appropriate container or close the resin return valve.
7. Normally in line charge applications the catalyst accumulator will not need to be
charged. If needed follow the above procedures on the catalyst system.
• Charging Procedures: Using Hand pump
8. Shut off air to the resin pump by either turning regulator to zero or turning the
pump control valve to off position.
9.
Lock the gun in the on position over an appropriate container, or open the ball
valve at the bottom of the resin filter if one is installed.
Note: For catalyst charging lock the gun in the open position over an appropriate
container, or open the recirculation/dump valve on the manifold.
10. Relieve any existing charge by inserting a blunt object (allen wrench) into the top
of the charging valve.
11. Attach charging pump to the resin accumulator by connecting the black charging
hose to the charging valve on top of the resin accumulator.
Note: Do not over tighten charging pump hose.
12. Pull the charging pump handle all the way out, connect air hose to male quick
disconnect on charging pump.
Note: not pulling out the handle of the charging pump before attaching the air
line can cause damage to the charging pump or bodily injury.
13. Pump charging pump handle with steady even strokes until gauge on charging
pump read approximately 280psi.
Note: Gauge will only show accurate reading on the down / in stroke, while
pressure is building (peak pressure). During charging of accumulator, if air is
heard exiting the front of the gun or appropriate valve, this indicates that the
polyball in the accumulator is not seating properly. Repair the accumulator as
needed.
