START-UP, RUNNING AND SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE
The Magnum Venus Products High Volume Modular System is the ultimate in spray-up
equipment. This instruction manual, the Trouble-Shooting guide and the Parts Drawing
Package should be read thoroughly and used as a reference when working with your Magnum
Venus System. We have tried to note when differences occur, but suggest you contact
Magnum Venus Products or it’s nearest representative if performance of your particular
Magnum Venus Products system is not satisfactory following these instructions.
START-UP
These steps should be followed when unit is new, recently repaired, or has no material in
system:
1. Read and become familiar with Manual, Trouble-shooting Guide and drawings for
your particular unit, and all other operational aids provided with unit.
2. Check all fittings for proper connection.
3. Fill resin pump cavity (center section) approximately 1/3 full using Throat
Seal/Lubricant (TSL-XX).
4. Turn all regulators counter-clockwise so gauges will read 0 (zero) when air is
connected to system.
5. Open catalyst Recirculation valve on the Catalyst Manifold.
6. Pull bottom quick pin from Pivot Link Assembly (part number UPS-3104-01).
NOTE: This will allow resin pump to stroke but prevent catalyst pump from pumping
during start-up procedure. It should be general procedure to never have the catalyst
pump connected except when spraying a laminate.
7. Attach air source to manifold fitting. Open main air inlet ball valve.
NOTE:
½” diameter (minimum) air hose should be used for maximum efficiency.
8. Remove top from flush tank and fill with clean suitable solvent. Replace tank top.
9. Slowly bring flush regulator up to 40 PSI (turn clockwise).
NOTE: Flush tank pressure should never be higher than 60 PSI.
10. Open flush air control valve.
11. Remove nozzle, nozzle cap, turbulent mixer and mix chamber from gun.
12. Push solvent button on gun until solvent exits gun nozzle.
13. Open gun by pulling gun trigger. Aim gun into suitable container and keep gun open
during priming procedure.
