CHAPTER 2
PRIMING RESIN PUMP
CAUTION: Before attempting to operate resin pump, check all hoses and fittings to insure
system will hold pressure.
1. Fill cup at base of pump shaft 2/3 full with lubricant. Refer to lubrication materials list for proper
lubricant.
2. Fill power head lubricator 2/3 full with lubricant. Refer to lubrication materials list for proper
lubricant.
NOTE: Pump must be assured of a sufficient resin supply at all times.
3. Back Air regulator to power head completely off. Rotate counter clockwise.
4. Open ball valve to power head.
5. Open gun head.
6. With an adequate supply of resin to foot valve of pump, (minimum 7-1/2 PSI) slowly open
regulator to power head of pump. Not more than 10 PSI.
NOTE: Because seals in a new pump may be dry and therefore will not make a good seal, it may
be necessary to wet the seals. This can be accomplished by removing the resin hose,
accumulator, and pipe nipple from pump outlet and pulling a small amount of resin into pump
through pump outlet port. Reassemble nipple, accumulator and resin hose and proceed with
priming operation.
7. As pump begins to move resin through the system, close the gun head. Allow the pump to
continue operating until it stalls out.
8. Close ball valve to power head of pump.
9. Open needles of gun head, allowing resin to drain from hose and accumulator.
NOTE: An appropriate container will be required under gun to contain resin flow.
PRIMING CATALYST PUMP
NOTE: Magnum Venus Plastech recommends the use of a manufacturer tinted catalyst if at all
possible. This will insure the operator a visual check for proper catalyzation.
CAUTION: Safety Cover must be on catalyst accumulator at all times when catalyst pump is
connected to slave arms of resin pump.
1. With catalyst pump positioned in slave arms and lower quick pin in place remove catalyst hose
from catalyst accumulator relief valve body.
2. Loosen packing nut located on top of catalyst pump where pump shaft enters pump. NOTE:
This step is not mandatory if packing nut is plastic.
CAUTION: If stainless steel packing nut is not loosened before hand operating pump, excessive
heat build-up can result in packing area.
