PREPARATION AND PRIMING OF “NEW” SYSTEM
1. Be sure all air regulators are turned completely to the left, shutting off air to the components.
2. Slowly open main air.
3. Prime empty catalyst line:
· Disengage catalyst pump
· Open ball valve on catalyst manifold (if applicable)
· Eliminate air pockets by manually hand pumping the catalyst 5-10 short strokes (2-3 in.). After
eliminating air pockets, and while continuing to hand pump, close ball valve on catalyst manifold.
· Pull and hold trigger on gun while hand pumping catalyst pump with short strokes until there is a
solid, steady catalyst flow from the head of the gun. This will ensure that all air is purged from the
line. Release trigger.
· Continue to hand pump the catalyst with short strokes until catalyst is fully primed and pressurized
(generally within 5 additional strokes or less)
NOTE: Do NOT engage slave pump until material pump has been primed.
4. Material Pump: (be sure catalyst pump is disengaged) Place a container or bucket under pump valve
to catch material while priming. Open ball valve located on bottom of filter assembly on pump. Bring
up pressure on material pump gauge just enough to cause stroking of pump. After a smooth flow of
material is flowing from valve, close the valve. Once pump is primed, it will stall (stop stroking), and
the air may be increased to operating pressures. Generally 30 - 50 psi, depending on output and
transfer efficiency desired.
5. Engage slave pump.
PREPARATION AND PRIMING OF PREVIOUSLY USED SYSTEM
1. Slowly open main air.
2. Disengage slave pump.
3. Material Pump: (be sure catalyst pump is disengaged) Place a container or bucket under pump valve

4. Catalyst Slave Pump:
· Open ball valve of catalyst manifold (if applicable).
· Eliminate air pockets by manually
5. Engage slave pump.
· Open ball valve on catalyst manifold (if applicable)
· Eliminate air pockets by manually hand pumping the catalyst 5-10 short strokes (2-3 in. strokes
each time). While continuing to hand pump, close ball valve on catalyst manifold and continue with
short strokes until system is fully primed and pressurized. You should feel a strong resistance in the
pump stroke when system is properly primed (generally within 5 additional strokes or less). Engage
catalyst pump.
