Putty 2000 Chop Check Start-Up Instructions MAGNUM VENUS PRODUCTS Putty 2000 Chop Check Start-Up Instructions
START-UP INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: The regulators marked pump, air lift and ram extraction should be set at zero. PRIMING CATALYST TO GUN (POUR & SPRAY) NOTE: Do not use quick pin to install upper catalyst pump bearing block to slave arm at this time. Check that all catalyst hoses and fittings are tight. Remove the Mix Chamber from the front of the gun (pour and spray). Catalyst jug should be filled not to exceed more then 1-1/2 gallons of MEKP. Make sure to close the catalyst recirculation valve on the catalyst manifold. 1. Pour: To prime catalyst to the Putty Pour Gun, pull manual gun handle (58148-1) all the way back. The gun handle should engage button on 3-way air valve (09169). 1a. Spray: To prime catalyst to the Putty Spray gun, pull the trigger all the way back and engage the trigger lock. The mix chamber should not be attached at this time. 2. To prime catalyst system, use priming knob (50100-1) at the top of the catalyst pump. Slowly hand pump priming knob using long up and down strokes until a steady flow of catalyst is being dispensed out the gun. Lean the top of the catalyst pump up against the connecting rod. NOTE: When hand priming catalyst pump, resistance should increase uniformly between the up-stroke and the down stroke when building up pressure. PRIMING PUTTY TO GUN (POUR & SPRAY) 3. Move the rotary valve handle (06275) to the up position. NOTE: Do not install static mixer tube to gun at this time. 4. Open the ball valve located off of the regulator and gauge marked airlift cylinder. To raise the ram and barrel piston, slowly increase air regulator (marked AIRLIFT) to 15 to 20 psi. 5. While the barrel piston is going up, check that no hoses are kinking. 6. Once ram is to maximum up position, tape the Piston Boot (60531-1) the round piece of plastic (use plastic boot as a template to make more before installing) to the top of the barrel piston. Make sure that the round hole in the center of the plastic piston boot is centered with the opening at the bottom of the barrel piston. NOTE: If the 55-gallon drum has a plastic liner it is helpful to prevent the liner from being pushed down into the drum. Use the ring from the drum top to hold the liner in place or tape the liner to the outside of the drum. Inspect the drum for dents and damage, using a dented or damaged drum can damage the piston seals and cause leaking. 7. Slide 55-gallon drum of putty onto the unit and center drum to the barrel piston. 8. Open ball valve (06276)) located at the top of the barrel piston; this will allow air trapped between the barrel piston and the putty to escape. 9. To lower barrel piston down into the drum, push rotary valve (06275) handle to down position.
10. Once barrel piston has started into putty drum, slowly increase airlift regulator pressure 80 to 100 psi. NOTE: Allow time for air to be pushed out of the ball valve (06276) at the top of the barrel piston. 11. Once barrel piston has come to a complete stop, close ball valve (06276) at the top of the barrel piston. 12. Pour: Pull the manual gun handle (58148-1) back to the open position so that the 3-way valve (09169) is engaged. 12a. Spray: When priming a Putty Spray gun, pull the trigger all the way back and engage the trigger lock. The mix chamber should not be attached at this time. 13. At the air manifold, slowly increase regulator marked pump. 14. Adjust pump regulator as needed to maintain a slow uniform movement of the resin pump. Allow unit to run until a steady flow of putty is being dispensed out the gun with no air pockets. 15. Pour: Push the gun manual handle (58148-1) all the way forward to close gun. 15a. Spray: Disengage the trigger lock of the Putty Spray gun and release the trigger to close gun. 16. Flush by pushing the flush button on gun. To build fluid pressure, push the priming button (09188) located on the air manifold that is labeled prime. 17. While pushing the priming button in, slowly increase the pump regulator, 80 to 90 psi for maximum flow rates. Once pump has come to a stop, release priming button. 18. Pin the lower catalyst pin to desired catalyst percentage and hand prime catalyst pump to build up pressure. 19. Pin upper catalyst pump bearing block to desired percentage. NOTE: The upper and lower catalyst pump-bearing block MUST be pinned at the same percentage. 20. Install catalyst injector and mix chamber onto the gun, both pour and spray. NOTE: Use a small amount of red grease on the mix housing threads before installing mix tube to gun (pour and spray). 21. Pour: Install mixing tube (05260) onto gun head, making sure there is a seal (02029-1) between the mix housing and the adapter union fitting (54861-1). The static mixers (05271) have a notch on one end that inner lock the four mixers together. NOTE: The notch should face up when installing into the mix tube (05260). 21a. Spray: Install mixer housing and nozzle assembly onto mix chamber. Attach air supply to splatter nozzle. The Putty system is now ready to operate.
Daily - Putty Chop Check Startup & Shut-Down IMP-CCP-MP and IMP-CCP-MS DAILY STARTUP 1. Check and refill all components and materials. 2. Close relief valve on the flush tank lid. 3. Open the lockout ball valve (7342) to pressure up the system. 4. Open catalyst recirculation valve and hand pump catalyst back to the catalyst jug until all the flow is air free. 5. Close catalyst recirculation valve and hand pump catalyst to build up catalyst pressure. Watch the catalyst pressure gauge, pressure should rise on both the up and down strokes. 6. Install catalyst injector and mix chamber (pour and spray). 7. Pour: Reassemble and attach static mixer assembly. 7a. Spray: Reassemble and attach mixer housing and nozzle. Connect the air supply to the splatter nozzle. 8. Check flush system for proper operation. 9. Push the priming button to pressurize pump. DAILY SHUT-DOWN 1. Drain water trap filter (06989) daily. 2. Thoroughly flush the gun. 3. Pour: To shut down the putty pour unit, remove static mixer tube and push the four static mixers (05271) out of tube. 3a. Spray: To shut down the putty spray unit, disconnect air supply to the splatter nozzle. Remove and disassemble the mixer housings and push the static mixers (05244) out of the housings. 4. Clean mixers and mix tube (pour and spray). 5. Remove mix housing from gun block and clean (spray and pour). 6. Close the lockout ball valve (07342) to relieve air pressure from system. 7. Lift the relief valve on the flush tank lid to release flush tank pressure. 8. Open and then close the catalyst recirculation valve on the catalyst manifold to relieve the catalyst pressure. NOTE: Do not leave barrel piston in 55-gallon drum if the system will be idle for more then two weeks.
