4 PRIMING THE MACHINE

With the unit assembled and canisters mounted, the following steps should be carried out to
ensure that your machine is properly prepared for accurate and trouble-free dispensing.
The canisters have a capacity of 3.17 Quarts and it is recommended that only one quart of
colorant be used on the initial filling. Additional colorant can be added once proper operation is
achieved.

1) Place each can of colorant into a mixer or shaker for approximately 5 minutes (or as specified
by the colorant manufacturer) to mix any settled pigment.
2) Remove canister lids.
3) Pour the contents of each can of colorant into individual canisters.
4) Set the gauge (Ref. # 2) of each pump to the 3Y or 100 ml setting, by depressing the spring
loaded button (Ref. # 3) and lifting the gauge by its handle.
5) Prime each cylinder by lifting up the plunger handle (Ref. # 1) to its maximum travel, and
pressing the plunger handle downward fully, WITHOUT OPENING THE VALVE HANDLE!
Repeat this process 5-6 times: this draws colorant from the canister into the cylinder and
purges the air from the system.
6) Lift the plunger handle to its maximum travel. Place a clean can or paper cup under the
dispense nozzle (Ref. # 5). Open the discharge valve by turning the valve Handle (Ref. # 4)
in a clockwise direction until it locks into place. Push the plunger handle down fully to
dispense colorant into the cup. Return the valve Handle to the closed position by pressing the
release button (Ref. # 6). Repeat this procedure until the colorant emerges as an unbroken
stream.
7) Once the cylinder is free of air, repeat steps 4 and 5 for all remaining canisters. Return all
dispensed colorant to its respective canisters. Your machine is now ready for use!
Do not add colorant when agitation is taking place.
