4. Zero the instrument BEFORE pumping by pressing the
button. This prepares the instrument for the test by clearing
the display, and zeroing the instrument. The priming icon
will appear (flashing) on the display indicating the instrument
has not achieved priming pressure.
5. Prime the pump slowly until the displayed reading approaches
the priming pressure. The priming pressure is the point that the
instrument begins calculating and displaying the pull rate

the ability to store readings is enabled. Priming pressures for
the various dolly diameters are:
10 mm
14 mm
20 mm
50 mm
50 mm x 50 mm
For optimum results, prior to exceeding the priming pressure,
return the pump handle to its full upright position and then
complete a single continuous stroke at the desired pull rate until
the actuator separates the dolly from the coating.
6. Open the pressure relief valve and remove the dolly from the
actuator assembly.
7. Readings may be stored into memory by pressing the
(memory storage for up to 200 pulls). Press again to review
stored readings. Stored measurements can be accessed using
our PosiSoft Desktop software (pg. 7).
