Pressure Relief Procedure

1.Shut off air supply to the bead tank. Relieve pres- sure from bead tank.

2.Close the master air valve (required with air-pow- ered pumps).

3.Actuate the dispensing valve to relieve pressure.

4.Leave the drain valve(s) open until you are ready to dispense again.

If you suspect that the dispensing valve or hose is com- pletely clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved after following the steps above, very slowly loosen the hose end coupling and relieve pressure grad- ually, then loosen completely. Then clear the valve or hose.

Adjustments

Set the actuating air to at least 50 psi (3.5 bar) for single acting gun and 80 psi (5.5 bar) for double acting gun, then start the pump. Set the glass bead supply tank pressure between 30 psi (2.1 bar) and 75 psi (5.2 bar) for desired flow rate.
