Warnings Warnings The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When these symbols appear in the body of this manual or on warning labels, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific hazard symbols and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual where applicable.

Warnings WARNING BURN HAZARD Equipment surfaces and fluid that is heated can become very hot during operation. To avoid severe burns: • Do not touch hot fluid or equipment. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment can cause static sparking.
Page 10
Warnings WARNING EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD Misuse can cause death or serious injury. • Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. • Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system component.
Important Isocyanate (ISO) Information Important Isocyanate (ISO) Information Isocyanates (ISO) are catalysts used in two component materials. Isocyanate Conditions Spraying or dispensing fluids that contain isocyanates creates potentially harmful mists, vapors, and atomized particulates. • Read and understand the fluid manufacturer’s warnings and Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) to know specific hazards and precautions related to isocyanates.
Important Isocyanate (ISO) Information Material Self-Ignition NOTE: The amount of film formation and rate of crystallization varies depending on the blend of ISO, the humidity, and the temperature. Foam Resins with 245 fa Blowing Agents Some materials may become self-igniting if applied too thick.
Overview Overview Theory of Operation Gun Detriggered (Air Purging) Mix chamber (19) moves forward, shutting off fluid flow. Impingement ports (IP) open to air chamber (AC), Gun Triggered (Fluid Spraying) allowing purge air to flow through mix chamber nozzle Mix chamber (19) moves back, shutting off purge air (N).

Installation 8. Open cleanoff air valve (K) 1/4-1/2 turn and trigger 13. Test spray onto cardboard. Adjust pressure and gun to check that cleanoff air is flowing. Adjust as temperature to get desired results. desired.This step does not apply with spatter pattern spray gun 248408.
Installation Optional Configurations Change Hose Position The fluid inlet swivels and air quick disconnect fitting point to the rear of the gun. If desired, these positions Change Fluid Manifold Position can be changed so hoses travel downward. The fluid manifold is mounted to bottom of gun, with A NOTICE side on left, viewed from operator’s position at back of gun.
Operation Operation Pressure Relief Procedure 4. Trigger the gun onto cardboard or into a waste container to relieve pressure. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you see this symbol. TI4722a This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is 5. Engage the piston safety lock (L). See Piston manually relieved.
Operation Piston Safety Lock Loss of Air Pressure In event of loss of air pressure, gun will continue to spray. To shut off gun, do one of the following: • Engage the piston safety lock. See Piston Safety High-pressure fluid from dispensing devices can Lock.
Operation Daily Shutdown 1. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 19. 2. Leave the air turned on and gun detriggered. 3. Remove the grease fitting cap. Using the grease gun (Y), dispense grease into fitting (G) until grease mist sprays from mix chamber nozzle (N). Grease your gun daily to prevent two component curing and keep fluid passages clean.

Maintenance 7. Pull out side seal cartridges (18). 11. Lubricate and reinstall side seal cartridges (18). NOTICE To prevent cross-contamination in the gun, do not interchange A component (isocyanate) and B component (resin) parts. Cross-contamination can result in cured material in the gun. Cured material may damage the sealing surfaces, block fluid passages, and prevent gun function.
Maintenance Clean Passages 6. Slide filter (26d) off. Clean and inspect parts. Thoroughly inspect o-rings (26f, 26g). If necessary, remove screw (26b) and disassemble entire check If necessary, clean out passages in fluid housing and valve. handle with drill bits. Refer to T 3 and to F .
Maintenance Inspect the Piston 8. Install cylinder cap (5). 1. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 19. 2. Disconnect air line (D) and remove fluid manifold (M). TI2430A 9. Follow the Attach Front End procedure, page 29. 10. Attach fluid manifold. Connect air. Return gun to service.
Maintenance Remove Front End 2. Push on air cap (C) until it is flush with front of gun. This ensures that mix chamber is all the way back. 1. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 19. 2. Follow the Flush Gun procedure, page 20. NOTICE TI2422A If lock ring (R) is stuck due to material buildup, do not...
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 1. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 19, before checking or repairing the gun. 2. Check all possible problems and causes before disassembling the gun. NOTICE To prevent cross-contamination in the gun, do not interchange A component (isocyanate) and B component (resin) parts.
