8. Close needles of gun and flush gun head.

9. Close the regulator to power head of the resin pump. Open the ball valve to power head.

10. Slowly open the regulator to power head. As resin fills the system, slowly increase PSI until

desired operating pressure is reached and pump stalls out.

11. Install Turbulent Mixer and nozzle cap on gun head. With a container under gun to catch

material, operate the pump until all air is purged from resin hose.

NOTE: Apply lubricant to threads of nozzle before installation to prevent galling of the threads.
See lubrication materials list for proper lubricant.

NOTE: After air has been purged from the hose, the resin flow should be steady and even; no
pulsation or surge when pump changes direction. If excessive pulsation is noted the charging
operation must be repeated until desired results are obtained. An inadequate accumulator
charge will result in poor resin/ catalyst mix and improper cure of the laminate.


12. When desired charge is obtained, there should be an even flow of material from the gun head

and a fairly uniform mix of catalyst and resin, provided the turbulent mixer is in place. Additional
mix will take place as material moves through the pour tube manifold, etc.
