Spray Systems

The sealer spray systems are self-priming pumps, so as long as your sealer is diluted properly and you have ample sealer in your tank, your sprayer will self-prime. Always make sure that air isn’t sucking into the pump or you will lose prime and your pump will get quite hot potentially compromising the main seal which leads to a leaking pump.

If the sealer is too thick the pump will struggle with a prime as it’s like sucking a thick milkshake through a small straw.

Make sure your sealer is diluted at 20% to 30% at all times.

If you’re using the sealer within the week, it can remain in the tank. Just periodically agitate the material in the tank to prevent it from settling and starting to cure. If you want to remove the sealer from your main tank and store the sealer, we recommend taking off your spray tip and starting your unit up and then pumping the sealer into a drum or separate storage tank. Once this is done, flush your main tank out with water.

You can flush out your spray system by connecting the transfer kit or suction hose to a bucket or drum of water.

Simply turn your unit to Spray mode and spray the sealer back out into the drum or bucket that you got it from originally.

Our spray systems work only with Asphalt Emulsion Sealer. If you use: a sealer with sand, or an oil-based sealer, the spray system will not work: the pump will need repair, and you may even blow the engine. If you use the wrong sealer, your warranty is voided in the same way as if you were using diesel fuel in a gasoline engine for your truck.

Yes, the portable spray system does.

This system includes a 50 foot 3/4" diameter hose, rated to 275psi.

Yes, but not out of the box - you need to purchase the optional Tote Connection Kit.

Yes, simply close the main valve on the bottom of the tote. Disconnect the suction hose from the bottom of the tote and then put that end of the hose in a 5-gallon pail and turn the valve above the pump to spray mode, and then start the engine. The pump will suck the water up out of the 5 gallon pail into the pump and down the spray hose out the gun and then spray the water out of the gun back into the 5 gallon pail you just sucked up and you can recirculate it in the pail like this while having the engine on low idle.

We cannot warranty a system if sand has been used in it, as it will wear and ruin the seals. We do, however, suggest applying the sand by hand with a grass seeding machine after applying a thin wet coat of sealer and then applying a second coat of sealer over top of the sand layer as a final coat.

This usually happens due to the tip clogging or if the tip is worn out past a usable point. Make sure to clean your spray tips after every sealcoat job. Buy new spray tips and invest in a filter kit to prevent clogged spray tips.

Honda GX160: 0.58 Liter (0.61 US qt, 0.51 Imp qt). SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use.

Launtop LT210: 0.60 Liter (0.63 US qt, 0.52 Imp qt). SAE 5W-40 mineral oil is recommended for general use.

Always confirm with your engine manual for temperature-specific viscosity guidance.

The cause of this is over-agitating the sealer. Only recirculate your sealer for 2-3 minutes max at the beginning of the day and maybe for a minute at the beginning of each job.

The 130 gallon system fits in trucks as small as Ford Rangers, Chevy S10's, or any full sized pickup truck.

The 230 gallon system fits in full sized pickup trucks like Ford F150's or larger.

Both systems fit in most trailers.

These systems can be used with specific brands of Asphalt Emulsion sealer. The systems cannot spray sealer with sand. Approved Sealers: Asphalt Emulsion (AE): GemSeal, Sealmaster, and Neyra sealers only without the addition of any latex additives.

We can't guarantee the performance of the systems with other people's sealer because they may add additives that we don't know about that could affect the performance of the pump, hoses, circulation, etc. We use the industry's best-quality sealer and we can assure you that you will not have any issues with it; if you wish to use another brand of sealer please contact the manufacturer to guarantee performance with your spray system.

If a chunk of sealer, a stone, or a rock is blocking the output of the tip, it would create a blockage in the tip that would create a trickle or a pressurized multi-stream spray. Sealer sitting in the tank for a long period of the tank can dry on the side walls and form flakes. These flakes can fall into the rest of the sealer and get suctioned through to your spray tip, causing a blockage.

We heavily advise investing in a filter kit, as it filters out unwanted chunks. See more troubleshooting tips for if you lose pressure at the spray tip.

Pump priming is simple. As long as there is constant liquid reaching the pump, it will prime and pump. The less air in the suction hoses the better the pump will prime and work.

When transferring sealer from drums to the main spray system tank make sure the transfer kit hose is completely full of water. Connect the barrel pipe to the transfer kit and then the other end of the transfer kit to the suction port of the pump and make sure the transfer kit hose remains full of water. Put the barrel pipe into the sealer drum. Make sure the ball valve handles are in transfer mode. Start your motor and begin your transfer.

The pump only needs to be primed the first time you use it or if you haven't used your pump for longer than 24 hours. Use 1 gallon of water in the pump through the pump orifice allows the machine to immediately push that liquid through, creating enough force to start pulling sealer from the tank.

If air is hitting your pump at anytime it will lose prime and the chances of burning up your seals are high. Make sure water or sealer is always reaching your pump.

If the pump is leaking between the engine and the motor, it's usually caused when the pump overheats, due to running the pump dry. The main master seal heats up and shrivels up, creating small cracks. Always make sure you run some kind of liquid in your pump, whether it be sealer or water during priming.

You get this when the sealer is too thick and the pump cannot create a prime to circulate the sealer. Dilute it properly to achieve 20 to 30% water dilution.

Use a dipstick to check the level of your sealer at the end of the day and the next time you use your system, just in case of water evaporation (if the levels are different, add enough water to regain the previous sealer level).

Another possible reason could involve the system's ball valve. On the output part of the pump, there's a ball valve that allows you to redirect the sealer to the top of the tank or to the spray gun. If that ball valve is constantly or permanently broken to the spray gun, you wouldn't get recirculation.

The 130 (130 Gallon Capacity) = 13,000 square feet (1,207.74 square meters) of coverage.

The 230 (230 Gallon Capacity) = 23,000 square feet (2,136.77 square meters) of coverage.

No, none of Asphalt Kingdom's spray systems can be used with oil-based sealer.

No. You will need to prime the system first before using it, then mix your sealer with a drill mixer prior to turning on your machine.

Typically, you will notice the sealer is leaking between the pump and engine casing.
