Description of Controls for Unit:
Familiarize yourself with the Air Manifold controls, which consist of the following
regulators and gauges:
PUMP PRESSURE gauge and regulator. This controls the main air pressure to
the resin pump Air Motor.
PRIMING BUTTON push button control. This control allows the pump to operate
without opening the gun. The Priming Button sends an air signal to the pump
control valve which allows control air to the power head.
RAM EXTRACT PRESSURE gauge and regulator. This controls and displays
the air pressure that is use to remove the piston from the empty pail. This is the
air pressure that is put between the ram piston and the inside of the pail.
RAM EXTRACT VALVE – this ball valve turns On/Off the Ram Extract air
pressure.
RAM / AIR LIFT PRESSURE gauge and regulator. This controls and displays
the air pressure used to lift the pump out of or press the pump into the putty
material.
RAM / AIR LIFT CONTROL VALVE – this controls the direction of the Ram / Air
Lift Pressure – Up/Neutral/Down. Placing the valve in the up position will cause
the Ram to lift. Placing the valve lever in the center position will turn the air off to
the ram cylinders. Placing the valve lever in the down position will cause the
Ram to be pushed down into the material.
SOLVENT PRESSURE – gauge and regulator. This is the gauge and regulator
located on the top of the flush tank and sets the solvent flush pressure.
MAIN AIR INLET VALVE – This is the main air inlet ball valve. This ball valve is
used to turn off air supply to the unit. It also releases the air pressure in the unit.
Note: Open the Main Air Ball Valve in one full stroke open or closed if partially
opened air will leak from the exhaust port on the valve.
