Coupling Block

Chemical hoses are joined to gun block by
coupling block to ease installation and removal

may cause crossover if any residual chem-
ical remains in gun ports.
Never open manual valve unless coupling
block is secured to gun or unless you point
gun into waste container.

counterclockwise three full turns.
