GENERAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS:
Operating this machine requires workers to perform work behind the trailer, it is critical to perform the
work safely. Communication between the tow vehicle driver and worker is critical. Worker and tow
vehicle driver must stay in communication, use an audible device or visual signals to communicate. A
worker must never ride on the trailer or position him or herself between the tow vehicle and trailer
when the tow vehicle is running. Tow vehicle driver must always be aware of workers position.
Only use a tow vehicle that is equipped with an electronic brake control system and has the
appropriate towing capacity. The best means for determining the vehicle's towing capacity is to read
the vehicle owner's manual. The owner's manual will provide detailed instructions and limitations,
usually accompanied by tips for safe towing. If the owner's manual has been misplaced, most
manufacturers provide free downloadable copies on their website. Towing with an undersized tow
vehicle can cause the trailer to tow improperly, potentially causing loss of control. Overloading can
also cause unintended failures to tow vehicle.
The weight of your trailer listed in this manual is for the base model without any additional
accessories or the weight of the sealant material. The weight of your trailer will vary, weigh your
machine to determining your Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW). Scales are sometimes available to use at
state highway weigh stations, refuse transfer stations and commercial truck stops.
TRAILER STABILIZATION PROCEDURE:
Going under the trailer puts a person at risk of severe injury or
death. Follow the procedure below to stabilize trailer before going
under the trailer.
METHOD #1 HITCH TO VEHICLE:
Park both the tow vehicle and trailer on a flat level surface. Place tow vehicle in park and remove
keys.
METHOD #2 UNHITCHED:
Park trailer on a level surface. Place wheel blocks in front of and behind wheels on both sides of the
trailer. Inspect your swivel jack thoroughly for damage or abnormal wear, especially if it was subjected
to abnormal load or shock. [If damaged do not use, replace swivel jack.] Turn the swivel jack to the
vertical position and pin in place. Use the swivel jack to decouple trailer from tow vehicle. After
raising the hitch coupler, crib, block, or otherwise secure the trailer at once.

rotary switch control located on the outside front cover.
Off: (center position) Power to all systems will be off and burner, pump and agitator will stop.
Manual: (right position) Main rotary switch on front cover is no longer active. The three switches
below for temperature control, pump and agitator must be used to control the melter’s operations.
2) TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER ON / OFF SWITCH: When this switch is on, the three digital controllers
to the right will be energized and they will be controlling the diesel burner and activate the hydraulics for
agitator motor, sealant material pump and the heated hose.
3) MATERIAL PUMP SWITCH:
Seal (Forward): When the switch is on “SEAL (Forward)” the pump will be rotating counter clockwise
with sealant material recirculating back to sealant material tank or to the application wand.
Off: When the switch is “OFF”, the pump will not be rotating.
Clean-out (Reverse): When the switch is on “CLEAN-OUT”, the pump will be rotating clockwise in
reverse direction and will be drawing back any sealant material in the application wand and plumbing
system back to the sealant material tank.
4) AGITATOR CCW / OFF / CW SWITCH: This switch controls the rotation of the agitator from counter-
clockwise (CCW) or clockwise (CW). If the switch is in the center position, the agitator will not rotate.
5) SEALANT TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER: The control system on your CIMLINE melter has been
factory set to run the most common types of sealant materials. See page 19 to override or change
settings.
6) PUMP LIGHT (Green): This LED light indicates that the sealant material has reached the preset
temperature and if the unit is running in the auto mode, the hydraulic circuit for the sealant material pump
will be activated. If enough sealant material has melted the pump should be turning and sealant material
should be circulating through the system and back into the top of the sealant material tank.
7) HEAT TRANSFER OIL CONTROLLER: The control system on you CIMLINE melter has been factory
set to not exceed the OEM heat transfer oil limits for maximum temperature. It is advised to only use heat
transfer oil from CIMLINE. See Page 21 for heat transfer oil information and specifications.
8) AGITATOR READY LIGHT (Green): This LED light indicates that the heat transfer oil has reached
the preset temperature and if the unit is running in the auto mode, the hydraulic circuit for the agitator will
be activated. If enough sealant material has melted the agitator should be turning.
9) HOSE TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER: The control system on your CIMLINE melter has been factory
set to run a heated hose to the proper temperature for successful application of sealant material.
10) HOSE READY LIGHT (Green): This LED light indicates that the heated hose has reached the
preset temperature and is ready to use.
11) DIESEL BURNER LIGHT (Yellow): This LED light indicates that the material and heat transfer oil
temperature control are demanding that the diesel burner circuit is turned on.
12) HEATED HOSE FUSE: This is a 240V/18A slow-blow fuse for protecting the heated hose.
13) HEATED HOSE GENERATOR LIGHT (Yellow): This LED light indicates that the heated hose
temperature control is demanding that the generator circuit is turned on.
14) LOW FLOW SWITCH: Some sealants dispense best at low flow rates (<4 on the flow controller). If
the sealant material dispenses unevenly, switch the AUTO/MANUAL switch to MANUAL and place the
low flow switch on “FOR MATERIAL FLOW LOWER THAN 4”. This will make the sealant material pump
only rotate when the wand trigger is pressed, resulting in a smoother, more consistent flow.
CIMLINE recommends using the Main Control Panel in “AUTO”
control mode. “MANUAL” mode is provided for trouble shooting
and trained advanced/experienced users.

OTHER MELTER NOTES:
On a new CIMLINE Melter Applicator or a unit that has been idle for some time, it is recommended that you
slowly raise the oil temperature to 250ºF (121°C) and hold there for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. This
will help evaporate any water condensation that may be in the oil chamber.
To do this it will be necessary to temporarily change the heat transfer oil temperature setting.
The heat transfer oil control (B) on your CIMLINE melter has been factory set to 550° F (288°C). To
temporarily change the max temperature for evaporating condensation follow the same process as above
and apply to the heat transfer oil temperature controller (B). Run the melter applicator machine maintaining
the 250°F (121°C) heat transfer oil temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. Follow the instructions again to return
the heat transfer oil temperature controller back to the factory setting of 550°F (288°C).
M-Series Automatic Temperature Control Settings
MODIFYING SEALANT TEMPERATURE CONTROL SETTINGS:
The Sealant Temperature Control (A) on your CIMLINE melter applicator has been factory set to run the
most common types of sealants. These sealants have an application temperature of 380° F (193°C). With
some sealants, it may require a change to the controller to achieve the appropriate application tempera-
ture. To achieve this, open the control box and alter the Sealant Temperature Controller (top controller) by
following the directions below.

engine pre-check is complete. The engine pre-check consists of checking the oil, the fuel level, the
hydraulic oil level and the air filter. For more details about your engine please refer to the engine
operator maintenance manual and warranty provided with your sealant melter applicator.
AIR CLEANER:
Due to the dusty conditions that can be created by road work, it is essential to check the engine air
cleaner element daily. Remove element and shake out the accumulated dust and dirt. Wipe out dirt
from inside cover and from housing. Reference engine manual for washing instructions. CIMLINE
recommends stocking replacement filters.
ENGINE OIL:
Use high quality detergent oil of API (American Petroleum Institute) service class CF or higher grade.
Select the viscosity based on the air temperature at the time of operation. Reference your engine
manual for other recommendations.
Only the oils specified, or equal, may be used in this system.
(Always check your local and state regulations before disposal)
