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 Moisture Sensitivity of Isocyanates Exposure to moisture (such as humidity) will cause ISO to partially cure; forming small, hard, abrasive crystals, Spraying or dispensing materials containing isocya- which become suspended in the fluid.
Important Isocyanate (ISO) Information Changing Materials NOTICE Changing the material types used in your equipment requires special attention to avoid equipment damage and downtime. • When changing materials, flush the equipment multiple times to ensure it is thoroughly clean. • Always clean the fluid inlet strainers after flushing.
Installation Installation 3. Thread the handle (K) onto the manifold (L). 4. Connect the gun fluid supply hoses to the A (ISO) and B (RES) fluid inlets of gun. NOTE: Hoses are color coded: red for component A (ISO), blue for component B (RES). Red (ISO) usually is connected to the left side of the valve (as viewed from 1.
