Introduction:
This manual will cover the first time priming, daily start up and shut-down plus

There are several configurations of the UltraMax Multi-Color Gel Coater – External Mix
(MVE-1400-X-1(-INT) or MVE-1400-X-1(-INT)) which uses the ATG-3500 Gel Coat gun
and Internal Mix (MVG-1400-X-1(-INT)). Where X is the number of colors (fluid
sections) mounted on the unit. The units can be configured with 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 colors
or expanded to a total of 6 colors by adding additional colors (fluid sections) (MCPA-
2500-1). The –INT is for international units that ship outside of the USA.
The major components (Gun, Fluid Section, Powerhead, Catalyst Pump) referenced in
this manual will vary depending on the configuration of your unit.

Magnum Venus Plastech spray equipment provides one of the most efficient methods of
quickly applying material to a surface or mold. To make the most of our low-pressure
metering systems airless, internal mix or external mix guns, the operator must
understand how to adjust the system for maximum efficiency.
One of the most important concepts is to use just enough pressure to the power head to
establish a good spray fan, and no more. Then use the Air Assist to fine tune or do final
adjustment to the spray pattern.
