Introduction:
This manual will cover the first time priming, daily start up and shut-down plus

There are several configurations of the Patriot Multi-Color Gel Coater
– External Mix
(MVE-PAT-1500-X or MVE-PAT-15-746-X) which uses the ATG-3500 Gel Coat gun and
Internal Mix (MVG-PAT-1500XINT). Where X is the number of colors (fluid sections)
mounted on the unit. The units can be configured with 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 colors or
expanded to a total of 6 colors by adding additional colors (fluid sections) (MVG-PAT-1-
15, MVE-PAT-1-15 and MVE-PAT-1-15-746).

Most of the operations procedures will be the same for all of the configurations but will
be noted where there are different procedures.
Magnum Venus Plastech spray equipment provides one of the most efficient methods of
quickly applying material to a surface or mold. To make the most of our low-pressure
metering systems airless, internal mix or external mix guns, the operator must
understand how to adjust the system for maximum efficiency.
One of the most important concepts is to use just enough pressure to the power head to
establish a good spray fan, and no more. Then use the Air Assist to fine tune or do final
adjustment to the spray pattern.
