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.

including simple automated user controls for Off / Run / Clean Out / Cool Down as well as manual control
of the sealant material pump direction and tank agitator. You can also monitor or adjust the temperature of
the sealant material and heat transfer oil on the control sub panel. See page 10 for more information on
the main control panel.
2) MA4 Applicator Electronic Control Display: This computerized panel will allow you to set your
application rate and calibrate the output rate of the sealant material through the application bar. See page
11 for more information on the electronic control unit.
3) Loading Door: Place the sealant material block or biscuit on the open door to load the melting
tank. See page 14 for more information on safely loading sealant material into the melter.
4) Heat Transfer Oil Level Dipstick: Allows you to monitor the amount of heat transfer oil in the
melter oil tank. See page 25 for more information on using the heat transfer oil dipstick.
5) Heat Transfer Oil Temperature Gauge: Displays the heat transfer oil temperature.
6) Ignition Switch: Engine key “ Start” / “ On” / “ Off” and also displays engine running hours, glow
plug status, alternator charge, engine oil pressure and engine coolant warnings.
7) Main Tank Valve: “ Open” / “ Shut” allows sealant material to enter pump from sealant material
tank.
8) Control Handles (Qty. 2): Controls flow from “ Circulation” re-circulation back to sealant material tank
and “Spray Bar Circulate” circulation through application bar and back to sealant material tank.
9) Bulk Loading Plug: This 3 inch Cam and Groove fitting allows for liquefied bulk sealant material to
be pumped directly into the MA4 sealant material tank from an external source.
10) Secondary Tank Valve: Allows sealant material to enter the Draw Off / Sample system out to the
Draw Off / Sample Valve.
11) Draw Off / Sample Valve: Allows sealant material to gravity pour into a pour pot for manual
application on areas unreachable by the application bar, or can be used for drawing off sealant material
samples for testing purposes.
12) Pour Pot Storage: Two pour pots can be stored in this external box. Items in this box must be tied
down properly while in transport.
13) Control Lights: These lights are visible to the driver and indicate when the system is ready to
begin application and that the vehicle is driving an appropriate speed for the application rate. See page 16
for more information on the control lights.
14) Ground Speed Encoding Wheel: This sensor folds up / down for storage and reports trailer speed
to the computerized control system. The control system communicates with the pump to apply the
appropriate amount of sealant material based on the speed reported by this wheel. See page 16 for more
information on the ground speed encoding wheel.
15) Application Bar: The application bar folds up / down for storage. When the control valves are

MA4 Control Panels and Their Functions
MAIN CONTROL PANEL:
The Main Control Panel is used to operate the melter control system. Controls located on the outer
cover are for operating in AUTO mode only.
OFF: Shuts down power to the control panel, the sealant material pump, agitator and burner.
RUN: Allows the preprogrammed controllers to turn on the pump, agitator, and burner.
CLEAN OUT: Shuts down the burner and reverses pump flow direction to clean out material
from the spray bar and internal plumbing returning the sealant material to the material tank
COOL DOWN: - Shuts down the burner and sealant material pump and turns the agitator only.
This allows the material to cool down more consistently, extending the life of the material remaining in
the tank.
Inside the Main Control Panel box is a Sub Control Panel.
See pages 12-13 for detailed explanation of its use.

11
MA4 APPLICATOR ELECTRONIC CONTROL DISPLAY:
The MA4 Applicator Electronic Control Display is used to control the application rate of the sealant material
that is being applied. System status, spray bar position, material readiness, rate of flow and pump RPM are
all controlled by this computer control panel. Please note; If certain conditions are not met, the function will
be unusable (Gray). Some examples of conditions that are not met are: Spray bar is in stored position,
material is not up to application temp, etc.
ACTIVATED: Pressing the top left button (#1) on the Applicator Control Panel will switch between
“ACTIVATED” (Green) and “DEACTIVATED” (Red). Once the unit is activated, it will wait until the ground
speed encoding wheel registers a speed to start applying sealant material.
START: Pressing the second button on the left (#2) will switch between “ START” (Green) and
“STOP” (Red). This is typically turned on and off by using the key fob remote transmitter.
AUTO: Pressing the third button on the left (#3) will switch from “ AUTO” (Blue) and
“MANUAL” (Yellow). In the auto mode, the unit will control how much sealant material is applied by the
speed wheel as it moves across the ground. In the manual mode, the sealant material application will be
controlled by the pump speed that is set by the application rate.
APPLICATION RATE: Pressing the top right button (#4) will highlight the “ APPLICATION RATE”
function (Purple) and allow the dial knob to adjust the sealant material application rate. The sealant material
application rate is measured based on a pounds per linear foot measurement. Pressing the button again will
deselect the function (Gray) and the application rate is automatically calculated based on the speed of the
vehicle as reported by the ground speed encoding wheel.
TRIM: Pressing the second button on the right (#5) will highlight the “ TRIM” function (Purple) and
allow the dial knob to adjust the trim setting. The trim control compensates for a pump that is running slower
due to wear and will speed up the pump a certain % amount. Pressing the button again will deselect the
function (Gray). This feature is only usable while in the auto mode.

The amount of sealant material can be estimated by measuring the depth
of sealant material in the tank with the included depth gauge.
MA4 MATERIAL CAPACITY 410 GALLONS
Maximum safe operational sealant material tank capacity is 307 gallons.
20 Gallons
40 Gallons
TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL LEFT IN THE MA4 TANK:
A) Remove the depth gauge plate from the cabinet.
B) Open the material door and vertically place the depth gauge just barely touching the top of
the sealant material (B).
C) Count the number of slots showing from the top of the gauge down to the top of the material
tank ceiling. Count only the slots that are ABOVE the tank ceiling (C).
D) Multiply each slot shown above the material tank ceiling by 20 gallons, and that is
approximately what you have left in the tank.
Example: The above drawing shows the gauge is exactly on the 9th slot from the top. So, 8
slots are above the tank. 8 x 20 = 160. There is approximately 160 gallons of sealant material left
in the tank.

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).
MA4 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 325° F (163°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.
1) Press the “SET” button twice.
2) “SP1” (Set Point 1) is displayed.
3) Press the “SET” button.
4) Current material temperature setting is Dis-
played (factory default is 325°F (163°C).
5) Use the “Up / Down” arrow buttons to change to

SYNCHRONIZING KEY FOB REMOTE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER:
1. Start with the power on the MA4 off (engine key in the “OFF” position).
2. Press and hold the key fob remote “POWER” button for 10 seconds until both LED’s flash together, then
release. This signifies that the transmitter is in teach mode.
3. Turn the MA4 engine key “ON”. The LED lights on the key fob remote will stop flashing after a few
seconds. Synchronizing is complete. You can confirm that the key fob remote is communicating with the
electronic control unit by observing the “Wi-Fi” icon on it’s display changing from red in color to blue.
USING THE TIP CONTROLER:
While the key fob remote transmitter is intended to be used from inside
the truck, the tip control panel is convenient to an operator working
near the back of the MA4 trailer. It is important to know that one can
override input form the other, so communication is crucial between
