Operating Procedures:
1. Move the catalyst pump to the desired catalyst percentage as noted on the slave
arm sticker and pin the bottom and top bearing block at the same percentage.
2. Turning the knob counter-clockwise on top of the regulator/filter combination unit
decreases air pressure to the resin pump. Turning the knob clockwise increases
air pressure to the resin pump. Turning the knob counter-clockwise until the
pressure gauge reads zero shuts the unit down. (See fig. 9)
3. When air pressure is attached to the pump, pulling the parallel ball valve down
will start resin and catalyst flow. Pushing the handle back up will shut the resin
and catalyst flow off, stalling the resin pump against the fluid pressure and
shutting it off. (See fig. 10)
Note: The best way to regulate the flow rate, or output of the machine is at the
regulator that controls the amount of air supplied to the resin pump. In other words,
the higher the regulated air pressure, the faster the pump will run. In practice, the
valve is either on or off. Any attempt to throttle the valve may negatively affect the
machine’s ability to meter the two materials in the appropriate quantities.
