Operation

Do not operate a coiled hose. A coiled hose creates uneven heat buildup which can result in hose rupture and cause serious injury, including fluid injection.

Maximum hose operating temperature is 180°F (82°C). If using hose without an FTS, measure hose temperature to ensure it does not exceed 180°F (82°C).

Hose must be properly supported to avoid excessive strain due to weight, bending, sharp edges, or stress caused by running over a roof edge.

Fluids subjected to heat in confined spaces, including hoses, can create a rapid rise in pressure due to the thermal expansion. Over-pressurization can result in equipment rupture and serious injury.

Open a valve to relieve the fluid expansion during heating.

Replace hoses proactively at regular intervals based on your operating conditions.

1.Connect air hose to main air supply, if equipped.

2.Connect electrical connectors (12) to con- nector from fluid manifold (M) or accessory control box. See Connect Heated Hoses, page 13. Connect hose cable (4) to cable from proportioner fluid manifold or acces- sory control box. Wrap connections with electrical tape.

Fluid Temperature Sensor (FTS) Calibration

Calibrate the FTS ONLY at initial startup (the first time the unit is operated) and any time the hose length changes.

1.Before turning on the unit, ensure all hoses and cables are properly connected. To ensure that the FTS in the hose is at the same temperature as the heaters, keep heat off and store the hose FTS near the machine for several minutes.

2.While holding down the temperature unit button (Fahrenheit - “F” or Celsius - “C”) turn the proportioner main power ON.

3.Hold the temperature unit button until tem- perature is shown on the display. The fluid temperature sensor is now correctly cali- brated.
