Operation Basics Manual Valves Remove Coupling Block Triggering gun with manual valves closed may cause crossover if gun ports contain residual chemical. To prevent release of pressurized chemical, close both manual valves before removing coupling block. 1. Disconnect air hose. Never open manual valves unless coupling block is secured to gun or exit port is directed 2.

Daily disassembly of gun for cleaning is not recommended if it has been operating properly.
Pressure Relief Procedure Pressure Relief Procedure Relieve pressure before cleaning or repairing gun. 1. Close both manual valves. Manual Valves 2. Trigger gun once onto waste area to relieve fluid pressure in front end of gun. 3. Disconnect gun air supply, page 12. 4.
Spray Pattern Adjustment Spray Pattern Adjustment This adjustment may create a large mass “bun” of urethane foam. Very high tempera- tures created by chemical reaction inside a bun may not dissipate after outside surface has cooled. A large bun may continue to react for several hours after spraying until flash (burning) point of foam is reached.
