Daily Start-up & Shut-down:
Daily Start-Up:
1.
Check all hoses for damage.
2. Check all material supplies and fill or replace as needed.
3.
Open main inlet air valve on the manifold.
4. Check pump pressure: if adjustment is needed, remove the pin from the slave
arms & catalyst pump bearing block – this will prevent over pressure in the
catalyst system. Slowly turn up the pump air pressure to the operating pressure.
Note: Always lean the catalyst pump away from the gel coat pump (towards the
connecting arm) when it is unpinned from the slave arms – this will help prevent
damage to the catalyst pump.
5. Replace the Pin into the Slave arm and catalyst pump bearing block.
6. Check atomizing air pressure, adjust as necessary. It should be set to 18 – 25psi
(1 -1.5 bar)

8. Install nozzle, catalyst tip and retaining ring onto the front of the gun.
