4.1 Shipping and Handling
The Loctite
®
Hysol
®
Bulk-14 Hot Melt System is shipped with the melt unit, supply hose (if ordered), and applicator
head (if ordered) disconnected. The supply hose and applicator head are typically packed in separate boxes from the
melt unit. The melt unit is shipped on a plywood board placed on a foam pad inside a corrugated box. Padding is
also placed around the sides and top of the melt unit to protect it during shipment.
Each unit is shipped with a 10-mm hex key for the pressure adjustment; trim potentiometer tool and an operator
system manual.
The supply hose will be loosely coiled in a box separate from the melt unit. The handheld, mounted automatic
heads and other system applicator accessories will also be placed in separate packaging when shipped.
Notice
Use extreme care when shipping the melt unit due to its size and weight, to avoid damaged. Keep the original
packing material for future shipment should it be required. Place system on a pallet and ship via common carrier
rather than shipping via parcel services.
4.2 Positioning the Melt Unit and Space Requirements
Remove the melt unit from the shipping materials. Position it so servicing is convenient and the control panel is
easily accessible. Select a surface that is flat and level to avoid warping the frame and misaligning the pump and
motor shaft.
Notice
Bolt the melt unit securely to a supporting flat surface. Use the bolt holes at the bottom of the unit. Position the unit
to allow access to tighten or loosen hose fittings.
4.3 Component Installation
Warning!
Turn off melt unit circuit breaker and disconnect the power cord prior to installing hoses and/or applicator to the
melt unit to avoid accidental system pressurization or electrical shock. Read section 2 & 5 of this manual before
installing any components.
