START-UP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Attach main air supply to the air manifold on both systems.

NOTE: The regulators marked pump, air lift and ram extraction should be set at zero on all
systems.

2. On the Duo Link unit fill solvent tank with solvent. Turn the air supply to the flush system to

60psi (4 bar). Check for solvent leaks and test flush system by flushing the dispensing head.

3. Located on the Ram units check and adjust the Ram Lower Limit. By adjusting the APD-1011
bracket the pump piston stop height can be adjusted in the drum. (see drawings below)

PRIMING ADHESIVE TO GUN

4. Move the rotary valve handle (06275) to the up position.

NOTE: Do not install static mixer tube to gun at this time.

5. 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.

6. While the barrel piston is going up, check that no hoses are kinking.

7. 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.

8. Slide 55-gallon drum of adhesive onto the unit and center drum to the barrel piston.

9. 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.

10. To lower barrel piston down into the drum, push rotary valve (06275) handle to down position.

11. Once barrel piston has started into adhesive 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.

12. Once barrel piston has come to a complete stop, close ball valve (06276) at the top of the

barrel piston.

13. Remove the night cap or mixer assembly from the front of the dispensing block.

14. Pull the manual gun handle back to the open position, and leave in the open position.

15. At the air manifold, slowly increase regulator marked pump. Do this for both of the ram

adhesive pumps.

16. Adjust pump regulators as needed to maintain a slow uniform movement of the adhesive

pumps.

NOTE: It may take more pressure for one drum of material than another as the viscosity may

be different.

17. At the Duo Link unit slowly increase the pump pressure as needed to maintain a slow uniform

movement of the Duo Link adhesive pumps.

18. Allow units to run until a steady flow of adhesive material is being dispensed out both sides of

the dispensing block with no air pockets.

19. Push the dispensing head handle to the close position.

20. Flush both sides of the dispensing head.

21. To build fluid pressure, push the priming button (09188) located on the Duo Link air manifold

that is labeled prime.

22. 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.

NOTE: For best results perform a ratio check at the dispensing head. The pump pressure on

the ram adhesive units should be kept as low as possible to prevent over riding the
inlet balls in the Duo Link unit. The pressure may need to be adjusted differently on two
ram units because of viscosity differences and to reach a 1:1 ratio.

NOTE: Apply a small amount of red grease on the dispensing head threads before installing

mix tube to gun.

23. 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).
