2.5 Check Mix resin pressure regulator is preset at 1 bar shown on Mix resin pressure
gauge by clockwise increasing Mix resin regulator control.
2.6 Rotate to recirculation switch Pump control clockwise (90º)
2.7 The pump will now operate.
2.8. Turn Pump recirculation switch counter clockwise to OFF position
3.0 Priming SSB fluid sections. Catalyst, Resin, Solvent and pump
Lubrication.
NOTE - For safety reasons it is essential when carrying out any manual activity on the
lower guarded machine pump section that the machine is switched OFF.
3.1 Switch Machine OFF and for security isolate air by depressing E stop red button which
will lock down in OFF position
3.2 Fill Solvent cleaning tank with at least 5 litres of Acetone (see caution note below)
Maximum 20 litres. Use smaller white filler cap opening to do this. Replace cap (Do not fill
solvent tank through the large RED cap.)
Caution Note- DO NOT FILL the cleaning tank with solvent when the machine is fitted
with the SP3-NSH non solvent water based cleaner system tank. Use only water based
cleaner in these circumstances. E.g. RST-5 and HtwoO proprietary liquid cleaning
systems
The SP3 NSH tank is marked as such and is distinguished by external electrical heater
attached.
3.3 To enable access to fill the Catalyst bottle, first the black plastic catalyst feed pipe
bottle top union must be loosened to release the grip on the catalyst feed pipe. With this
done, unscrew the white bottle cap and fill bottle with the appropriate catalyst for
Polyester resin to be used. Replace cap and finger tighten the catalyst feed pipe once the
filter end is immersed and is touching the bottom of the catalyst bottle.
3.4 Place resin pickup pipe into suitable drum of pre accelerated polyester resin. Secure
pipe so that as resin container becomes empty (Lighter) the resin feed pipe does not pull
the container over causing a spillage. Also place resin recirculation pipe end securely
into resin container.
3.6 Set Catalyst ratio to Maximum Ratio by switching the MotoCat control to move the
Catalyst pump to the rear max. ratio. Note the motor will automatically stop when this
point has been reached.
