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.
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.
24. Disconnect 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.
25. Close the gun and flush into appropriate container or close the resin return valve
at the bottom of the filter. For the catalyst, close the recirculation valve on the
catalyst manifold.
26. Repeat the above procedures for the catalyst accumulator.
