Operation
Refer to FIG.2
1. Select fluid to use for heating circulation.
• If ambient temperatures (storage or operating)
are below 40° F (4.4° C), a 50% water and 50%
antifreeze mixture is recommended.
• If ambient temperatures are above 40° F (4.4°
C), water alone is okay.
2. Pour heating circulation fluid into the reservoir tank
(6), increase air regulator (7) pressure, and cycle
the pump (16). Continue to pour fluid into tank until
all air is purged.
3. Fill reservoir tank (6) about half full. Do not overfill;
fluid needs room to expand as the hose heats.
4. Set the flow rate of the circulation fluid to 2 gpm (7.6
lpm) by adjusting the pump’s air regulator (7) until
the pump cycles at 50 cycles/min. Do not use a
higher flow rate as doing so will decrease system
performance and pump life. Never exceed the
hose’s 95 psi (0.6 MPa, 6.6 bar) maximum working
pressure rating.
5. Adjust the heater thermostat to the desired hose
temperature. The setting should be about 10° F
(6° C) higher than the desired paint temperature.
Never exceed the hose’s 180° F (82° C) maximum
temperature rating.
WARNING
Read the warnings, page 2, before operating the
equipment.
Detailed diaphragm pump operating instructions
are in Husky 716 manual.
Each 50 ft. (15.2 m) heated hose section holds
approximately 1.25 gal. (4.7 liters) of fluid.
If the hose is not being used for more than one
hour, shut off VISCON HP heater and Husky 716
pump to lengthen heater life.
