MA10 Melter Applicator (The Original)

The fastest and most efficient method for the application of hot applied crack sealants. The MA10 will also apply material from 30G or 55G Flex Kettles or any larger melter. Can be used without heat for cold pour materials. Up to 600 lbs. of sealant can be melted and applied per day by ONE (1) MAN with the MA10. Enough to seal 4800 linear feet of 1/2" x 1/2" cracks.

The MA10 is mounted on steel wheels and comes equipped with spring loaded hand controlled release valve, hand agitator, steel screed for striking off the sealant in uniform width, burner assembly with hose and regulator and temperature gauge, and a platform for propane bottles (propane bottles not included). Various screed widths are also available. The MA10 is easy to maneuver for following random cracks. No heavy dragging like other wheeled applicators! Many times faster than hand held pour pots.

Flex Kettle Operating Instructions

IMPORTANT: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED WHEN USING THIS EQUIPMENT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AND EXERCISE REASONABLE CARE CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE OR INJURY.



1. Position the kettle burner so it will be at least six (6) feet from combustible material. Charge kettle with 30 pounds of crack filler. (Removed from cardboard box). Plastic bag will melt into heated Flex when stirred.



2. Light the LP torch as described noting to ALWAYS remove torch from kettle before lighting. Torch Regulator should be set to between 8 and 12 pounds of pressure.



3. After lighting torch, insert into the kettle burner well without smothering the flame.

**Note: If the torch is inserted in the burner well when the flame is running full, it is likely to be smothered before it can start an updraft. If the torch is smothered while in the burner well of the kettle, it is extremely important to allow any unburned gas in the burner well to vent before reinserting the torch. If wind is a factor, locate the Flex Kettle so the burner is operating down wind. Shielding may also be necessary.



4. Make certain the torch is positioned properly in the center of the burner well. Remove any obstructions.



5. After waiting a moment to allow the circulation of air to start around the pan, the regulating valve can then be adjusted as needed.



6. The Flex Kettle is designed to draw off liquid for use as soon as pouring temperature is reached. While heating, remember that heat penetrates the block of Flex-A-Fill slowly. Waiting for the blocks to completely melt is inefficient and time consuming. For best results and fastest melting rate, Flex-A-Fill should be used as it liquefies. When operating at high flame, stir the material frequently. Extended heating of Freddie Flex over 400 degrees F. will destroy the elastomeric polymers.



7. Stir material prior to drawing off. Stirring will increase melting rate and keep any unmelted portion of polybag away from draw off valve.



8. Flashing can be completely prevented by not allowing the material to exceed 400 degrees F. If the material does become too hot, remove the torch immediately. For regular operation, half the normal flame on the torch gives sufficient heat. If flashing does occur, close the cover immediately. NEVER use water to extinguish a Flex Kettle fire and always have an extinguisher available rated to combat oil fires.



9. It is not essential to drain the Flex Kettle at the end of the day. However, the least amount of material left in the Flex Kettle, the easier start up will be the next use. WARNING: NEVER allow the torch to fire into an empty Flex Kettle!



10. If you cover the Flex Kettle vent holes while the torch is in operation, you will stop the draft and smother the flame. Whenever the Flex Kettle is stored, it should be covered to prevent water from collecting in the pan.
