1. Use a drum plug wrench to unscrew the NPS threaded cap from top of 55-gallon drum of DPR 10.
a. NPS threaded cap can be identified by the larger relief area around the opening.
b. The draw tube will not properly thread onto the buttress cap with the smaller relief area.
2. Insert draw tube into hole.
3. Carefully screw tube into drum.
- Lower the pump head onto the top of the draw tube.
- Flip up the cam locks to secure the pump head to the draw tube.
- Push compressed air line onto male pump fitting.
- Air pressure gauge should show 50 psi.
- Carbon does not recommend higher pressure as resin can flow too quickly and lead to resin loss.
- Adjust regulator as necessary to change air flow.
- Make sure air valve is in the off (up) position.
- Remove spigot cover.
- A small amount of resin may run out of spigot, especially if pressure is too high.
- Wipe up any spilled resin before continuing.
- Place mouth of empty DPR 10 bottle under spigot.
- Turn on air valve.
- The pump will make quick chugging noises.
- As resin is drawn up through the draw tube, pump noises will slow down.
- Continue running pump until the bottle is filled.
- Take care not to overfill.
- Remove the bottle from spigot.
- Wipe spigot with a shop towel.
- Replace spigot cover.
Use the freshly filled bottle to fill your cassette.
