Magnum Venus Plastech Putty 2000 Chop Check - Manual (Page 3)

START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The regulators marked pump, air lift and ram extraction should be set at zero.
PRIMING CATALYST TO GUN (POUR & SPRAY)
NOTE: Do not use quick pin to install upper catalyst pump bearing block to slave arm at this
time. Check that all catalyst hoses and fittings are tight. Remove the Mix Chamber
from the front of the gun (pour and spray). Catalyst jug should be filled not to exceed
more then 1-1/2 gallons of MEKP. Make sure to close the catalyst recirculation valve on
the catalyst manifold.
1.
Pour: To prime catalyst to the Putty Pour Gun, pull manual gun handle (58148-1) all the way
back. The gun handle should engage button on 3-way air valve (09169).
1a.
Spray: To prime catalyst to the Putty Spray gun, pull the trigger all the way back and engage
the trigger lock. The mix chamber should not be attached at this time.
2.
To prime catalyst system, use priming knob (50100-1) at the top of the catalyst pump. Slowly
hand pump priming knob using long up and down strokes until a steady flow of catalyst is
being dispensed out the gun. Lean the top of the catalyst pump up against the connecting
rod.
NOTE: When hand priming catalyst pump, resistance should increase uniformly between the
up-stroke and the down stroke when building up pressure.
PRIMING PUTTY TO GUN (POUR & SPRAY)
3.
Move the rotary valve handle (06275) to the up position.
NOTE: Do not install static mixer tube to gun at this time.
4.
Open the ball valve located off of the regulator and gauge marked airlift cylinder. To raise the
ram and barrel piston, slowly increase air regulator (marked AIRLIFT) to 15 to 20 psi.
5.
While the barrel piston is going up, check that no hoses are kinking.
6.
Once ram is to maximum up position, tape the Piston Boot (60531-1) the round piece of
plastic (use plastic boot as a template to make more before installing) to the top of the barrel
piston. Make sure that the round hole in the center of the plastic piston boot is centered with
the opening at the bottom of the barrel piston.
NOTE: If the 55-gallon drum has a plastic liner it is helpful to prevent the liner from being
pushed down into the drum. Use the ring from the drum top to hold the liner in place or
tape the liner to the outside of the drum. Inspect the drum for dents and damage, using
a dented or damaged drum can damage the piston seals and cause leaking.
7.
Slide 55-gallon drum of putty onto the unit and center drum to the barrel piston.
8.
Open ball valve (06276)) located at the top of the barrel piston; this will allow air trapped
between the barrel piston and the putty to escape.
9.
To lower barrel piston down into the drum, push rotary valve (06275) handle to down position.
