Magnum Venus Plastech Gel Coat Gun EMG-1500 - Manual (Page 12)

SHUT DOWN PROCEDURES FOR SPRAY EQUIPMENT
1. Trigger gun until pump shaft is in the full down position (at bottom of stroke position).
2. Engage gun trigger lock.
3. Relieving pressures:
a. Close main air valve to system.
b. Purge excess air from system by relieving air from the bottom of the air
filter or water trap.
c. Catalyst pressure: “Dump” or relieve catalyst pressure at catalyst
manifold (if applicable) by opening catalyst ball valve. Pressure will
immediately be relieved. Close the ball valve at once to avoid draining of
catalyst from catalyst line.
d. Material pressure: Place a container under material ball valve at bottom of
fluid filter assembly to catch material flow when relieving pressure.
Slowly open material ball valve to relieve pressure.
Remember - the pump is under extreme pressure. Use the utmost caution when
opening the valve to avoid injury or being sprayed with material. Once material
pressure is relieved, close ball valve.
5. Remove catalyst and material tip assemblies from head of gun and clean
thoroughly.
6. Thoroughly clean the front of gun head.
7. Inspect entire gun and equipment for over spray and clean.
System is now “shut-down” and ready for the next start-up
Important Notes:

Proper cleanliness habits of your spray equipment go a long way in keeping
down unnecessary maintenance and repair costs.
