Gun maintenance: Turn the pump regulator pressure to zero. Open
up the ball valve at filter to relieve gelcoat fluid pressure. Open gun
to relieve catalyst fluid pressure. Snug Pro gun packing nuts (light
snug on catalyst packing nut) and trigger the gun on and off to seat
the resin and catalyst seals. Repeat a second time.
Filter & Accumulator
1. Turn gelcoat pump regulator to zero. Open ball valve at the
gelcoat filter to relieve gelcoat fluid pressure. To bleed the
charge in the accumulator, insert the small diameter rod in the
charging valve on the top of the resin accumulator (check valve)
and depress to bleed the charge off. Be sure to cover the rod
with a rag.
2. To remove the gelcoat filter, remove the return hose from the ball
valve. Un-screw the resin filter, clean the filter screen and core.
Use Venus-Gusmer white grease on the filter housing threads.

ball and thread on the nipple. Coat nipple, o-ring and poly ball
with white grease. Inspect o-ring, replace as needed.
Catalyst Pump

the packing set. Tighten the packing nut no more than one
eighth of a turn at a time as needed. Wipe catalyst pump piston
rod off with a clean dry towel.
