Grounding

Grounding

The equipment must be grounded to reduce the
risk of static sparking and electric shock. Electric
or static sparking can cause fumes to ignite or
explode. Improper grounding can cause electric
shock. Grounding provides an escape wire for the
electric current.

2. Connect the other end of the ground wire to a
true earth ground.
3. Ground the object being sprayed, fluid supply
container, and all other equipment in the
work area. Follow your local code. Use only
electrically conductive air and fluid hoses.
4. Ground all solvent pails. Use only metal pails,
which are conductive, placed on a grounded
surface. Do not place pail on a non-conductive
surface, such as paper or cardboard, which
interrupts grounding continuity.

Tools Required

• Grounding wires and clamps for pails
• Two 5 gallon (19 liter) metal pails
1. Connect the ground wire (L), Part No. 262908, to
the ground stud on the air motor.

1. Ground sprayer. See Grounding, page 12.
2. Check Throat Seal Liquid (TSL) level in packing
nut (R). Fill 1/2 full with TSL.

R

This includes the two camlocks
between the hopper and pump lower, the
camlock at the pump outlet, the camlocks
on the fluid hoses, and the camlock on
the applicator inlet. The retaining straps
should be tight and must not be able to
slide off camlock.
10. Going from applicator back to the system, wrap a
zip tie around all hoses every few feet to secure
them together.
11. Connect air supply hose:
a. Close bleed type master air valve (B).
b. Expand end of whip check cable (Y) and
slide it over the end of your air hose.

Pressure Relief Procedure

Pressure Relief Procedure
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
whenever you see this symbol.

This equipment stays pressurized until pressure
is manually relieved. To help prevent serious
injury from pressurized fluid, such as skin injection,
splashing fluid and moving parts, follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying
and before cleaning, checking, or servicing the
equipment.
1. Flush the system. See Flush, page 26.
2. Close incoming air ball valve (B).

Figure 10

ti21632a

To avoid injection and splashing, never open a
camlock hose or applicator fitting while there is
pressure in the fluid line.
5. If you suspect the applicator tip or hose is
completely clogged, or that pressure has not
been fully relieved after following the previous
steps, slowly open the zero cavity relief valve (J)
at the pump outlet. See Details, page 8 .
6. If there is still pressure trapped down the line,
very slowly loosen the threaded swivel fitting at
the pump outlet while keeping it covered until the
pressure is relieved.
7. Flush the zero cavity relief valve (J). See
Flush, page 26.
NOTICE
To prevent material hardening in zero cavity relief
valve, flush the valve after every use.

332612A

Wet Out the System

Wet Out the System

NOTICE
To prevent material curing in system, never load
mortar or epoxy into a dry system. Loading mortar
or epoxy into a dry system will cause the material
to stick to internal components and cure causing
damage and requiring replacement of those parts.
Always wet out the system by circulating clean
fluid through the applicator back into the hopper
before loading any mixed mortar. This is normally
done with the flushing fluid, but sometimes resin
or commercially available concrete pump priming
fluids are used depending on what material is being
sprayed.
• Use the material flushing agent recommended on
the material application data sheet.
• When finished, pump out the excess fluid. Then
drain out remaining fluid by loosening the bottom
cam fitting.
1. Close the bleed type master air valve (B).

3. Partially fill the clean hopper with material
flushing agent, depending on the material you
will be spraying.
4. Turn air regulator adjustment knob (F)
counterclockwise until it stops and gauge (E)
reads zero.

13. If needed, drain remaining fluid from system.
Materials that separate more easily may
require draining the remaining fluid from the
system. Check material data sheet to determine
whether it is necessary to drain the remaining
fluid from the system.
a. Place grounded metal drain pan beneath
pump lower inlet fittings.
b. Remove hopper and fittings between hopper
and pump lower.
c. Use a screwdriver to lift the pump lower inlet
ball. This will drain the remaining material
from the pump lower. When the pump stops
draining, release the pump lower inlet ball.
d. Install fittings and hopper.
e. Install camlock retaining straps.
f. Starting at the pump, raise the hose bundle
above your head and slowly move towards
the applicator. As you move towards the
applicator, the remaining fluid in the hose will
drain from the applicator into the bucket.
NOTE:

Mix the Material

Mix the Material
Always wet out the pump, hose, and applicator
before loading the mortar or epoxy material. See
Wet Out the System, page 15.
Always follow the material manufacturer’s instructions
for the material being sprayed. Mortar must be
thoroughly mixed to a smooth consistency before
loading it in the hopper.
• Always add the powder slowly to the fluid while
mixing. Do not add fluid to the powder.
• In non-explosive environments only: Use a
powerful mixer drive such as a minimum 800
watt, 1/2 in. drive, electric drill. Gear reduced
drills work best. Drill should have high torque at
300-1200 rpm.
• A heavy-duty drywall mud “H” blade or large “Jiffy”
blade generally works well for mixing.

Managing Mortar After Mixing:

• Pay close attention to the work life of the material
being used.
• Only mix the mortar kits as needed. Do not let
mixed mortar sit longer than necessary.
• Scrape mortar down the sides of the hopper as
the hopper material level lowers. Do not let older
mortar cure on the walls.
• Occasionally, do not refill the hopper until it is
almost empty. This ensures all material in hopper
is used while fresh.

It will take most of the first batch of
material to fill the pump and hoses.

NOTICE
To prevent material curing in system, never load
mortar into a dry system. Loading mortar into
a dry system will cause the mortar to stick to
internal components and cure causing damage
and requiring replacement of those parts.
The applicator nozzle or tip must be removed during
priming. Always push out any remaining “wet out”
fluid into a waste container before circulating mortar.
Always circulate clean mortar back into the hopper
for a few minutes before beginning to spray.
1. Wet out the system. See
Wet Out the System, page 15.
2. Mix the Material. See Mix the Material, page 18.
3. Close the bleed type master air valve (B).

4. Remove tip from applicator.
5. Fill the clean hopper with at least 4 gallons of the

NOTICE
Do not operate the pump motor with the applicator
material ball valve (V) closed. This may cause the
pump or hose to pack out.
Prevent Packout

To avoid “packing out” the pump or hose:
• Use the lowest pressure and largest nozzle size
that provides an acceptable spray pattern. This will
also result in seals and wear parts lasting much
longer.
• Do not use any more fluid hose than is necessary.
• Use an applicator with a rubber tip retainer that will
blow off if it plugs.
Before Starting or Stopping Material
Flow

• Never dead end the pump against the fluid shut-off
ball valve.
• Start and stop the fluid flow with the red-handled
brass air motor pilot valve at the applicator.
• Always have the atomizing air turned on before
and after spraying fluid.
Before Starting Material Flow

1. Always open the air assist valve (U) and adjust
air assist needle valve (M) first.
2. Open applicator material ball valve (V) second.
3. Open (turn on) the motor pilot ball valve (G) last.
Before Stopping Material Flow

Spraying

NOTICE
Do not allow pump to run without material in the
hopper. It will quickly accelerate to a high speed
causing pump seal damage.
NOTICE
To prevent material curing in system, never load
mortar into a dry system. Loading mortar into
a dry system will cause the mortar to stick to

General Adjustments

The spray pattern can be adjusted by changing:
• Tip (CE) size
• Fluid flow, use air motor regulator adjustment knob
(G)
• Air flow, use needle valve (M)
• Air needle (CB) position
Fully open the air assist valve (U),
while adjusting the needle valve (M) for the minimum
air flow necessary for a good pattern. Air bleeds from
the applicator nozzle whenever the applicator air
assist valve (U) is open. Close the valve to stop the
air flow, if desired. Otherwise, the air valve can stay
open during priming. Air must be on prior to fluid flow.
Ensure the air
needle (CB) is slightly behind the tip (CE).

Installing needle too far forward can
restrict or completely block material flow.
This can result in the retainer (CF) blowing
off. Installing the needle too far back can
raise the pressure behind the fluid enough
to blow the retainer (CF) off and can cause
dripping.
NOTE:

Air Flow Valve Adjustment

To decrease air flow, turn valve knob clockwise.
To increase air flow, turn valve knob
counterclockwise.
Check material and thin as needed to maintain the
proper consistency. The material may thicken as it
sits and could slow down application or affect the
spray pattern.
Flush and dry applicator thoroughly at the end of each
use. Tips and retainers must be cleaned by hand.

Adjust Air Flow:

Adjust Air Needle (CB) position:

332612A

Material Flow Adjustments

For a lighter spray pattern, adjust the air needle
closer to the fluid nozzle and/or reduce the fluid flow.
For a heavier spray pattern, adjust the air needle
farther back from the fluid tip and/or increase the
fluid flow.
23

Spray Adjustments (Mortar Spray Applicator)

Withdrawing needle too far can force
air pressure back into fluid hose, slowing
material flow.
NOTE:

2. Insert screwdriver through hole in tab of nozzle
retaining cap.
3. Push screwdriver head against notch on
applicator tip and pry nozzle retaining cap over
lip until it snaps into place.

Spray Techniques

1. Test the spray pattern on cardboard. Hold
the applicator 6-18 in. (150-450 mm) from the
surface. Use this spraying distance for most
applications.
2. Adjust fluid flow until material flow is adequate.
3. Adjust the applicator air assist needle valve to
achieve a uniform round spray pattern.
4. Consider the size of aggregate in the material
and the coarseness of the spray pattern. Larger
nozzles allow heavier patterns.
5. Overlap each stroke 50%. A circular overlapping
pattern may give the best results, and is obtained
by grasping the flex-head and swinging the head
around as the hose flexes.
When spraying small confined areas use the valve
and knob to make fine adjustments without adjusting
the pump.
Typically desired spray pressure is 20-25 psi
(140-170 kPa, 1.4-1.7 bar) on the motor air
regulator (F). Higher pressures may cause excessive
wear on the fluid pump. Select a fluid tip large
enough to spray at low pressure. Some materials will
packout at higher pressures.

Figure 29
4. Turn the rubber retainer back and forth to be sure
it is fully seated.
Material Compatibility

NOTICE
To prevent the seals and rubber tip from swelling,
do not leave solvent in the applicator when not in
use.
The nylon hose in the Flex Applicator is compatible
with solvents. The rubber gasket in the cam and
groove inlet fitting and the rubber nozzle retainer
should be hand cleaned and dried after each use.

Installing Nozzle Retaining Cap

1. Place nozzle retaining cap over top lip of
applicator housing.

The spray pattern can be adjusted by changing:
• Tip (DC) size
• Fluid flow, use air motor regulator adjustment knob
(G)
• Air flow, use needle valve (M)
The standard applicator adjustment is to fully open
the air assist valve (U), while adjusting the needle

valve (M) for the minimum air flow necessary for a
good pattern.
Air bleeds from the applicator nozzle whenever
the applicator air assist needle valve (M) is open.
Close the valve (U) to stop the majority of air flow, if
desired. Some air will still bleed through valve (U) to
help keep the air passages clean. Otherwise, the air
valve (U) can stay open during priming. Air must be
on prior to any fluid flow.
Adjusting the spray pattern requires testing to
balance the fluid flow and the air to the applicator,
and requires the correct tip size.
Always run full air volume through the applicator
when you are done spraying to remove any fluid
residue. Remove and clean the tip (DC) by hand.
Remove air check valve (DE) to be sure no fluid has
backed up to the check valve. If it has, remove and
clean air spool valve (U).
Fine Finish pattern discs and adapter kit 287227 is
included and can be added for more pattern control.
See manual 310617.

2. Remove applicator tip and retainer.

NOTICE
Failure to flush prior to material curing in the
system will result in damage to system and may
require replacement of all system parts in contact
with the material.
NOTICE
If the zero cavity pressure relief valve has been
used to relieve pressure, the valve must be flushed
to prevent material hardening in zero cavity relief
valve. If that is not sufficient, remove, disassemble,
and clean the valve then reinstall.
• Flush if the materials in the system are about to
reach their cure time.
• Flush any time the flow rate starts to decrease as
this is a sign that material is starting to thicken and
cure.
• Always flush the system at least twice, draining
all material flushing agent between flushes then
replacing with clean material flushing agent.
• For some mortars, it is recommended to flush
every 3 - 5 kits. Others can run continuously
without flushing. See material manufacturer
recommendation.
1. Close the bleed type master air valve (B).

d. Run the pump at 60-90 cycles per minute
for 3-5 minutes. Adjust air pressure as
necessary to maintain 60-90 cycles per
minute.
High flushing fluid velocity is
the most important item for effective
cleaning. The fluid hose should
shake while the pump is running.
This is necessary to maximize the
cleaning effects of flushing.
e. While pumping at 60–90 cycles per minute,
close then open the pilot ball valve (G) many
times to clean it. Each time the pilot ball valve
(G) is closed, close then open the fluid ball
valve (V) to flush the fluid ball valve. Ensure
NOTE:

Be prepared to decrease the air
pressure when the material exiting the
hose changes to water or solvent. Water
and solvent pump more easily so pump
speed will increase.

12. After performing the previous step at least twice,
drain remaining flushing fluid from system:
a. Place grounded metal drain pan beneath
pump lower inlet fittings.
b. Remove hopper and fittings between hopper
and pump lower.
c. Use a screwdriver to lift the pump lower inlet
ball. This will drain the remaining material
from the pump lower. When the pump stops
draining, release the pump lower inlet ball.
d. Install fittings and hopper.
e. Install camlock retaining straps.
f. Starting at the pump, raise the hose bundle
above your head and slowly move towards
the applicator. As you move towards the
applicator, the remaining fluid in the hose will
drain from the applicator into the bucket.
