6. Slide catalyst pump toward the connecting arm and re-insert quick pin into
slave arm hole just in front of catalyst pump bearing block.

NOTE

This will allow resin pump to stroke, but prevent catalyst
pump from moving during start-up. Never have the
catalyst pump connected except when actually spraying
a laminate or damage to the catalyst system may occur.

7. Attach air source to manifold fitting.

8. Remove the lid from the flush tank and fill with clean suitable solvent.
Replace the lid. (See Fig. 2E)

NOTE

1/2” diameter (minimum) air hose with a recommended
100 psi of clean, dry air should be used for maximum
efficiency.

systems.) Check for, and remove air voids in feed line.

2. Remove top quick pin from upper slave arm.

3. With steady even strokes, slowly hand pump the catalyst pump using priming

knob. Stop hand priming when steady stream of catalyst pours from the gun with
no air in the stream. (See Fig. 3A)

NOTE

See catalyst manufacturer for proper MEKP formulation for
your particular operation.

Fig. 3A

CAUTION

Always dispose of the waste catalyst according to the
manufacturer’s recommended procedure.

PRIMING THE RESIN PUMP

Priming the Resin Pump

1. Resin supply should be thoroughly mixed before being used. Central
bulk resin systems should have filter between supply and pump to prevent
clogging. Place resin supply adjacent to unit and insert resin wand into
resin container .

2. Open resin pump air valve.

3. Slowly turn pump operating air regulator (clockwise)until resin pump
is stroking steady , even strokes (approximately 10 to 20 psi).

NOTE

As resin enters the pump, you may have to increase psi
slightly in order to maintain even pump strokes.
Observe gun to make sure resin pours from the gun
block evenly with no air in the stream.

4. Shut off air to resin pump by:

-turning regulator to zero or

-turning off pump air control valve

5. Close gun and flush into suitable
waste container .

6. Position resin drain hose (located under
resin filter), into resin drum or suitable
waste container . Open resin drain ball valve.

7. Insert charging hose quick disconnect to
top of resin accumulator and hold down
for 10 seconds. Then remove. (See Fig. 3B)

NOTE

Although we recommend you pressurize the chamber,
in some cases there may not be a need to charge
depending upon material, pump pressure and tip size.

PRIMING THE RESIN PUMP

NOTE

Quick disconnect will not lock onto accumulator fitting.
This is intentional as it is not recommended to leave the
charging hose connected.

8. While holding charging hose on resin accumulator fitting, listen for air
exhausting from the resin dump hose. If no air is exhausting, proceed to
step 9. If air is heard exhausting, the accumulator ball is not seating
properly and the following procedure must be performed:

STOP

Fig. 3C Fig. 3D Fig. 2E

a. Be sure resin drain ball valve is open. (See Fig. 3C)
b. Remove air charge from resin accumulator by inserting 1/8” rod

(provided), into fitting on top of accumulator while pressing the
check valve. (See Fig. 3D & 3E)

c. Slowly unscrew accumulator from the accumulator adaptor .

Stop if accumulator is hard to unscrew by hand. This
may indicate that an air charge still exists in the
accumulator and cannot be discharged from the check
valve.

If this happens, continue to unscrew very slowly,
stopping once every revolution to allow pressure to
escape through the grooves into the threads of the
accumulator mounting nipple.

d. Clean accumulator and poly ball with a clean rag or solvent (if needed).
e. Reassamble.
f. Repeat steps 6 & 7.

9. Close the resin drain ball valve under the resin filter. (See Fig. 3C)

PRIMING THE RESIN PUMP

10.Install turbulent mixer and nozzle assembly onto the gun block. Align

nozzle (spray or flowchop) in horizontal position. NOTE: refer to the
nozzle chart in the H.I.S. System Instruction Manual for appropriate nozzle
selection.

1 1.Slowly open resin pump air valve and slowly turn pump operating
pressure regulator to recommended setting (40 to 50) psi. Resin and
catalyst pump will stroke until fluid line pressure is reached. Check all
fittings for leaks.

NOTE

Always remember to turn off regulator and slowly open gun
trigger to bleed system before any disassembly or repair
takes place.

12.Using priming knob, hand prime the catalyst pump until fluid pressure

resistance is felt in the stroke.

13.Connect catalyst pump to slave arm using the quick pins to desired

setting.

CAUTION

To avoid damage to the catalyst pump, always connect
quick pins to the same percentage holes on the upper and
lower slave arm.

Creating a Proper Spray P attern

1. Adjust resin pump operating pressure to desired (40 - 50 psi) setting. Check
resin pump operating pressure gauge while gun is in operation to ensure system
is running at proper level.

OPERA TING PRESSURES

For line charge applications the following minimum
operating pressures are recommended:

 FlowChop and Flow Coat applications 40 psi
 Spray applications 45 psi

Critical Mix Turbulent Mixers are required when operating
pressures are below 60 psi. Use Standard Turbulent Mixer
foroperating pressures above 60 psi.

2. Prepare spray test surface (typically , large sheets of paper or cardboard).

3. Spray one slow , even pass on test surface. Observe spray pattern.

n If fan is very narrow with heavy “fingers” on inside and outside of pattern

(Fig. 4A), increase resin pump regulator 5 psi and repeat spray test.

Fig. 4A

SUPERCHARGED H.I.S.™

CREATING A PROPER SPRAY PATTERN

n If fan is misting or fuming and a heavy white looking froth appears in

the resin that does not disappear, the operating pressure may to too high for
the nozzle and resin being used.

n A good consistent spray fan will have slight “horns” on the outside

edges. It will have the correct angle for the nozzle used, very little misting, or
excessive fumes being generated. NOTE: A slight frothing
may occur but should dissipate in approximately 1 to 2 minutes.

Three major factors in creating a proper spray pattern are:

1. Resin temperature
Resin at proper temperature as indicated in the resin manufacturer’s

material data sheet will eliminate many adjustments.

2. Correct nozzle
Numbers marked on each nozzle will inform you of nozzle angle and

approximate output. A variety of nozzles are available. Consult the MVP
nozzle chart or contact your local MVP distributor . NOTE: A good rule of
thumb is to always increase nozzle size rather than air pressure for greater
output.

3. Air pressure
Additional air pressure should only be used after option 1 and 2 have

been checked. Increasing or decreasing air pressure should only be done to
achieve correct fan pattern and not as a means of controlling output. Most
misting, fuming and fogging are a result of incorrect air pressure settings.

Once correct settings have been achieved, observe fan to determine if resin
is being delivered evenly without any “pulsation.” If no pulsation is observed,
the system is ready for operation.

If pulsation occurs:

• Check and clean resin filter

Increase back pressure in gun by doing one or a combination of the following:

• Using Critical Mix Turbulent Mixer (part #55000-1)

• Reducing nozzle orifice size (For nozzle options, consult your local
MVP Distributor .)

• Increase operating pressure

NOTE

The Critical Mix Turbulent Mixer (part #55000-3) is
always recommended when operating pressures are
below 60 psi.

Shut-Down Procedure

1. Turn the resin pump air valve to the of f position. Leave gun air supply at 90 to
100 psi.

2. Pull the top quick pin from the catalyst pump slave arm. Slide catalyst pump
toward the connecting arm and re-insert quick pin into slave arm hole just in front
of catalyst pump bearing block. (See Fig. 5A)

Fig. 5A

CAUTION

This will allow resin pump to stroke, but prevent catalyst pump
from moving during Shut-down procedure. It should be
general procedure to never have the catalyst pump connected
except when actually spraying a laminate.

3. Remove nozzle assembly and turbulent mixer from gun. Clean these parts
and set aside. Check for wear.

4. Hold gun over suitable container and pull trigger allowing resin and catalyst
fluid pressure to drain completely .

SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURE

5. Flush gun and wipe gun block clean.

6. Check and fill resin pump power head oiler if necessary .

7. Drain water trap located on air manifold.

8. Check pump packing for leaks. Resin leaking into the pump casting

oil reservoir indicates the packings need replacement.

9. Turn flush valve located on the manifold to off position.

10.Relieve flush tank pressure by lifting up on the lever or ring of the relief

valve located on top of the flush tank.

Remo ving Materials
F rom The System

You may find a need to remove materials from the system periodically if you plan
a long term shut-down, are changing resin types or are making other material
switches.

NOTE

These steps may be followed when performing maintenance, or
for shutting the system down for long periods of time. Follow
steps 1 through 10 of the shut-down procedure before the
beginning of material removal.

1. Remove resin wand from material and allow to drain.

2. Place wand in approximately 2 gallons of solvent and clean wand.

3. Aim gun into suitable container and carefully open gun by pulling trigger .
Lock trigger open.

4. Open resin pump air valve and turn resin pump regulator up until pump
begins tostroke even, slow strokes. Continue to cycle solvent through resin
system until solvent appears clean. Note: Additional solvent may be required
depending onhow clean the unit needs to be.

5. Shut off resin regulator , and close resin pump air valve.

6. Remove the charge from the resin accumulator by inserting a 1/8” diameter
rod(provided) into fitting at the top the resin accumulator . Keep rod pushed
against the check valve until all air is exhausted. (See Fig. 6A & 6B)

REMOVING MATERIALS FROM THE SYSTEM

7. Place suitable container under the resin filter and slowly unscrew the filter
tank from the filter body .

STOP

Fig. 6A

Fig. 6B

8. Clean filter tank, filter screen and filter core in solvent.

NOTE

The resin filter will need cleaning on a regular basis
depending on the material used. Filter screen will show
the degree of contaminates to judge cleaning intervals. It
is not necessary to completely flush resin system to clean
filter, but follow proper fluid pressure bleeding

procedure before removing the filter.

9. Slowly unscrew accumulator.

Stop if accumulator is hard to unscrew by hand. This
may indicate than an air charge still exists in the
accumulator and cannot be discharged from the check
valve.

If this happens, continue to unscrew very slowly,
stopping once every revolution to allow pressure to
escape through the relief cut into the threads of the
accumulator mounting nipple.

CAUTION

Always wear safety glasses and protective clothing.

CAUTION

The accumulator should be cleaned weekly to prevent resin
gelation.

10. Clean the accumulator in solvent.

REMOVING MATERIALS FROM THE SYSTEM

1 1.T o remove the catalyst from the system, only use clean distilled water. W ash
all parts thoroughly and blow dry .

NOTE

Catalyst has a much longer shelf life than resin, and
therefore does not need to be removed from the system as
often. See catalyst manufacturer for shelf life specifications.

System can now be stored for an intermediate amount of time (2 - 3 weeks)
or broken down for maintenance.
