11. Engage piston safety lock. See page 13.
12. Perform Bleed Throat Seal Liquid Cartridge pro-
cedure. See page 24.
13. Turn on proportioner. See proportioner manual.
14. Open fluid valves A and B.
15. Disengage piston safety lock. See page 13.
16. Perform a test pour into a waste container. Adjust
pressure and temperature to get desired results,
see proportioner manual. Also, see Adjust Ori-
fices.
Adjust Orifices
In order to balance pressures between the A component
and B component the needle in each orifice may need to
be adjusted. Be sure that all necessary adjustments to
the proportioner are made prior to adjusting the orifices,
see proportioner manual.
If after adjusting pressures neither orifice can achieve
the desired pressure both orifices should be replaced
with a larger or smaller size. Note that a smaller orifice
will provide higher pressure and a larger orifice will pro-
vide lower pressure.
If after attempting to balance pressures the pressure dif-
ference is over 500 psi one orifice should be replaced
with a different size. If that is the case, adjust the needle
in each orifice all the way open (counter-clockwise) and
observe the pressures. The orifice whose pressure is
farthest from the desired pressure should be replaced.
Note that a smaller orifice will provide higher pressure
and a larger orifice will provide lower pressure.
1. Insert a 5/64 in. hex key (supplied) into the opening
in the hex on the orifice.
2. In order to increase the pressure, turn the needle
clockwise.
In order to decrease the pressure, turn the needle
counter-clockwise.
