Operation
Pressure Relief Procedure
WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
The system pressure must be manually relieved to
prevent the system from starting or spraying acci-
dentally. To reduce the risk of an injury from acci-
dental spray from the gun, splashing fluid, or
moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Proce-
dure whenever you:
D are instructed to relieve the pressure,
D stop spraying,
D check or service any of the system equipment,
D or install or clean the spray nozzle.
WARNING
HOT SURFACE HAZARD
Do not touch the heater while it is oper-
ating. Allow the heater to cool for at least
10 minutes before flushing or servicing
it.
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not plug in or unplug a power cord in
any area containing flammable fluids or
fumes, to avoid fire or explosion result-
ing in serious injury.
1. Disconnect the electric power to the heater (1).
2. Circulate the fluid for at least 10 minutes to cool
the heated fluid and the heater.
3. Close the red-handled bleed-type master air valve
(G, required in your system). See Fig. 4.
4. Place the drain hose (H) into a waste container.
Turn the 3-way recirculation valve (J) to the drain
position.
5. Trigger the gun at the last gun station to relieve
fluid pressure. Maintain firm metal-to-metal contact
between the gun and a grounded waste pail.
Repeat for all gun stations.
6. Open the drain valve (K) to relieve fluid pressure
which may be trapped in the pump or hose.
If you suspect that pressure is not fully relieved after
following the steps above, wrap a fitting near the pump
outlet with a rag, and slowly and carefully loosen the
fitting to relieve pressure. Be careful to protect your
eyes from splashing.
Preventive Maintenance Schedule
The operating conditions of your particular system
determine how often maintenance is required. Estab-
lish a preventive maintenance schedule by recording
when and what kind of maintenance is needed, and
then determine a regular schedule for checking your
system.
