Note: A general rule of thumb

For Spray Application:
Charge Accumulators to 280psi to 300psi.

Note: The above is a general rule of thumb

some materials and applications

may require different charging pressures to achieve an even flow of material.
Increase or decrease the charge by 5psi increments as required to fine tune the
accumulator charge.

14. Disconnect air hose form the charging pump and remove the charging pump 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.

15. Close the gun and flush into appropriate container or close the appropriate. For

the catalyst, close the recirculation valve on the catalyst manifold.

16. Repeat the above procedures for the catalyst accumulator.

Charging Procedures: Using High Pressure Tank & Regulators

17. Shut off air to the resin pump by either turning regulator to zero or turning the

pump control valve to off position.

18. Lock the gun in the on position over an appropriate container, or open the ball

valve at the bottom of the resin filter.

Note: For catalyst charging lock the gun in the open position over an appropriate

container, or open the recirculation/dump valve on the manifold.

19. Relieve any existing charge by inserting a blunt object (allen wrench) into the top of

the charging valve.

20. Attach charging system 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.

21. Open the main regulator on the top of the tank.

22. Set the desired pressure on the charging regulator attached to the charging valve.

23. Slowly open the ball valve connected to the charging hose to charge the accumulator.

Allow approximately 5 seconds for charging before closing the valve again.

Note: During charging of the 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.
