3. Lock the gun in the open position. Remove the pivot pin from the

catalyst slide arm linkage. Use the slide arm to hand prime catalyst
out to the gun until a steady stream is achieved. Do not reinstall
pivot pin at this time.

Priming Resin to Gun:

1. Insert the gelcoat suction wand into container of gelcoat.

2. Tighten the gelcoat pump packing nut until snug only. Fill packing

nut cavity ¾ full with suitable oil.

3. With the gun locked in the open position, slowly increase pump

regulator pressure until pump is running at a slow but steady rate.
Allow pump to run until a fairly steady stream of gelcoat is being
dispensed. Close the gun and flush the gun head.

4. Increase gelcoat pump pressure to 100 psi. Allow the unit to set

under static load for 15 to 30 minutes to seat the resin packing set.

5. Clamp or tape the resin return hose coming from the bottom of the

in-line resin filter to the resin pickup wand and into the drum. Turn
the resin pump regulator to zero. Slowly open the ball valve at the
bottom of the resin filter to drain the fluid pressure.

Charging the Resin Surge Chamber:

1. Open the ball valve below inline resin filter.

2. To charge the resin surge chamber, use the air hose with the female

quick disconnect (charging hose) and insert over the male quick
disconnect at the top of the resin surge chamber. Push down on
female quick disconnect for 5 to 10 seconds and disengage.

3. Close ball valve below in-line filter.

NOTE

The resin pump was tested using oil. It may require up to 1/2
gallon of gelcoat to be run through the unit to purge any
remaining oil from the system.
