Controls and Their Functions
NOTE: This general outline will only familiarize you with the machine. Read through
the entire manual before putting this machine into operation.
1) Tank Outlet Valve: Allows melted material from the tank to flow into the pumping
system.
2) Access Port: The sealing wand is placed in here when not in use. This allows opera-
tor to continue circulating material through the hose to prevent material from cooling and
freezing up.
3) Loading Door (2 on Model 225): Place the material on safety door to load the melt-
ing tank.
4) Oil Temperature Gauge: Monitors the heat transfer oil temperature.
5) Material Temperature Gauge (optional): This gauge shows the temperature of
material inside the melting tank. This gauge is for reference before pumping starts.
Once pumping begins, gauge (6) will be an exact reading of material passing through
the system. (Not shown)
6) Material Temperature Gauge: Reads material temperature as it pumps through
plumbing system.
7) Pressure Valve: This valve controls the flow rate of the material being pumped to the
hose and sealing wand by changing the pressure setting. (Turning the valve clockwise
will increase the pressure which in turn will increase the flow). During sealing opera-
tions, this valve alone can be used to regulate flow.
8) Sealing Hose Valve: Opening this valve will allow the material being pumped to flow
through the hose and sealing wand. The valve should be in the full "on" position during
operation to prevent flow restriction.
9) Agitation Drive Control Knob: Rotate knob counterclockwise to start agitation.
Rotate knob clockwise to reverse agitation, which is useful for dislodging material.
Center position is neutral.
10) Pressure Gauge: This gauge measures the pressure required to turn the agitator. By
observing this gauge, the operator can tell if the agitator is rotating.
11) Pump Drive Control Knob: Rotate knob counterclockwise to start material pump for
sealing operation. Rotate the knob clockwise to reverse the material flow. Reverse
flow is used for system cleanout. Center position is neutral.

Controls and Their Functions
12) Air Cleanout Valve (optional): Connect air line or solvent line to this connector to
flush out system. This valve should remain closed at all times other than cleanout.
13) Temperature Control Box: This control allows the operator to set the desired oil
temperature. The setting will be maintained automatically.
14) Engine Throttle: Refer to Engine Manual for start up and maintenance procedures.
15) Cabinet Temperature Gauge: Indicates the temperature inside the cabinet. Do not
exceed 320º F. If conditions permit exceeding this temperature, open cabinet door.
16) Thermal Regulating Gate: Lift lever (A) to open gate (B) which will direct hot air to
cabinet to heat pump and plumbing.
17) Battery Box: Battery and related electrical components are located inside.
18) Ignition Access Door: On Diesel models, lift this door for access to ignition key.
19) Wand Holder: On models with the electrically heated hose, the wand is placed into
this holder.

Fuel System Air Bleeding
BleedingScrew
This section only pertains to Diesel engines. The engine and burner are pretested and
bled during factory run in. If the fuel tank is permitted to run dry or when changing filters, bleed-
ing may be necessary to restart the burner.
Your fuel tank is equipped with a visual fuel level gauge. Avoid letting the fuel level drop below
the lowest visible level. There is some reserve below this level, but your burner may draw air
due to splashing of fuel while transporting the unit. Once air gets into the fuel supply line, the
burner will run erratically or not at all.
To bleed the diesel burner:
1) Attach a 1/4" ID hose to the bleeder screw. Run the other end of the hose into a clean
collection can or bottle.
2) Start the engine.
3) Turn the temperature control system on so that the burner will try to ignite.
4) Loosen the bleeder screw and allow the fuel to flow through the hose into the collection
can. Once there are no more bubbles in the fuel stream, tighten the screw immediately.
5) Turn off the temperature control system. When you restart the temperature control, the
burner should ignite.

Cabinet Pre-Heating (Diesel Units)
WARNING: Always wear gloves when adjusting the damper.
The burner exhaust is equipped with an adjustable Thermal Regulating Gate (A) to help regu-
late the amount of heat diverted to the cabinet for hose, wand and plumbing preheating. At the
end of each day after cleaning out the system, the hose should be coiled and placed in the
cabinet. The wand may remain attached as it will fit in the cabinet.
NOTE: On units equipped with a heated hose, the hose and wand must remain out-
side the cabinet.
COLD START-UP
1) Open the gate, using the gate lever (B), to the full position. This will force hot air into the
cabinet. The temperature gauge installed in the side of the cabinet will measure actual
temperature. Never allow cabinet temperature to exceed 320º F. Open the door
partially if necessary. Adjust gate or close completely to keep temperature
below 320º F.
2) Once the material in tank has started melting and is circulating through the plumbing
system, close the gate. This will prevent excessive cabinet temperatures and will divert
the heat around the oil for more efficient heating.

Circulation and Pumping Procedure
Sealing Procedure
During the circulation and sealing operations, it is important to monitor the material tempera-
ture gauge as the material circulates through the plumbing system. The material should not
exceed the manufacturer's recommended pouring temperature.
Refer to Diagram 1
When sufficient material has melted (approximately 4-6 inches liquid on tank bottom) or gone
through the heating cycle required for liquid type sealants, begin circulation procedure.
1) Close air cleanout valve (if equipped) and sealing hose valve (A).
2) Turn pressure valve (B) counterclockwise to the full "decrease" position.
3) Rotate the material pump drive knob (C) counterclockwise to the normal flow position.
If the pump will not rotate, return knob to neutral and continue heating until pump will
rotate.
4) Open tank outlet valve (D).
5) When the material is flowing evenly through the bypass and is at the recommended
pouring temperature, stop the material pump drive by returning knob to the neutral
position.
6) Close thermal regulating gate if still open, and on propane units open stack diverter.
7) Remove sealing tip, open wand valve (F). Place the wand into the access port.
8) Restart the material pump and allow the material to circulate. Turn pressure valve
clockwise, "increase" until the engine begins to lug.
9) Open sealing hose valve to the full "open" position.
10) When the material is flowing freely through the sealing hose and wand, place material
pump drive knob to the neutral position to stop pump.
11) Turn wand valve "off".
12) Remove the wand from the access port and quickly install the appropriate sealing tip.
Immediately return the wand to the access port.
