Setup
5.5 Ground the system
Proper grounding (earthing) is important. The
passage of some materials through the nylon uid
hose will build up a static electric charge, which if
discharged, could ignite solvent vapors present and
create an explosion.
Component Grounding Method
System The system and heated hoses are grounded
through the power cord.
Spray Gun The spray gun is grounded through the whip
hose ground wire. Do not spray without using
the whip hose.
Fluid Supply
Chambers
Follow the local code.
Object being
sprayed
Follow the local code.
Waste
Containers
Follow the local code. Only use metal containers
placed on a grounded surface when ushing the
system. Do not place metal waste containers on
paper or cardboard surface. A non-conductive
surface such as these can interrupt grounding
continuity.
While ushing or relieving system pressure, ground
the gun by holding it against the edge of the metal
container. Failure to do so may lead to a static
electric discharge, which may cause a re.
5.6 Lubricate the Component Pumps
1. Remove the cup cap with a straight-slot screwdriver.
2. Fill the cup reservoir with DOP (Dioctylphthalate) or
compatibleplasticizer(Fig.15)untilthegauge(1)isshowing
that it is full.
Attention
DOP (Dioctylphthalate) or a compatible plasticizer
prevents increased wear and tear to the packings
and will keep spray material from crystalizing on the
uid section.
3. Replace cup cap.
4. Press button (2) 2-5 times to prime the dispenser. Press once
for every eight hours of usage to lubricate and protect the
uid section.

4. Attach the dual heated whip hose to the coupling block.
a. Secure the “A” hose to the “A” side of the coupling block.
b. Secure the “B” hose to the “B” side (or “R” side) of the coupling
block.
B (Resin)
A (ISO)
5. Tighten both hose connections with a wrench.
Connect the Supply Hoses
1. Make sure the valve handles on the inlet valves for both
Component pumps are in the OFF position (see g. 11).
2. Attach one end of the feed hose to the inlet valve of
Component pump A. Repeat for Component pump B with
another hose.
3. Connect the other end of each hose to their appropriate
transfer pumps (i.e. the “A” hose should run from Component
pump A to the transfer pump installed into material supply
drum “A”).
4. Make sure all connections are wrench tight.
5. Arrangethereturnhoses:
a. For non-circulation congurations (see gure 1, section 3.1),
place a waste bucket underneath each of the return hoses.
b. For circulation conrgurations (see gure 2, section 3.2)
Attach the return hoses tubes to the dessicant dryers of the
appropriate material supply drum (i.e. the “A” return tube for
should run from Component pump A to the dessicant dryer
installed into material supply drum “A”.
5.4 Connect the Electrical Cord
A 230V power cord is not included with the system.
Make sure a grounded, 230V outlet is available in
order to power the system.

Phases 1
Voltage 125/250VAC
If using a generator to power the system, refer to
section 2.2 prior to plugging in the power cord.
1. First plug the adapter end of the supplied power cord into the
power cord port located on the side of the block heater.
2. Plug the other end of the supplied power cord into a
grounded,230Voutlet.
