Important Safety Information Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (MEKP) MEKP is among the more hazardous materials found in commercial channels. Proper handling of the “unstable (reactive)” chemicals presents a definite challenge to the plastics industry. The highly reactive property which makes MEKP valuable to the plastics industry in producing the curing reaction of polyester resins and gel-coats also produces the hazards which require great care...
Grounding Some materials may become self-igniting if applied too thickly. Read material manufacturer’s warnings and material MSDS. Moisture Sensitivity of Isocyanites This equipment needs to be grounded. Isocyanites (ISO) are catalysts used in two component Ground the dispense gun through connection to a foam and polyurea coatings.
Set-Up Hose Attachment 1. Engage the trigger lock. Rotate trigger lock to stop the trigger from being activated. Attach the (black p/n 21694-25) material hose to the material inlet fitting on the back of the gun. Attach the (yellow p/n 236) solvent line to the solvent inlet fitting on the back of the gun.

Pressure Relief Procedure To relieve fluid and air pressures: 1. Push down Yellow slide valve, P/N 21402-00 to bleed off air to system. 2. Open P/N 21228-00 on catalyst pump to recirculation position. 3. Open P/N 21192-00 on bottom of material pump. 4.
Maintenance Parts Replacement Procedure Before performing maintenance on the dispense gun, follow Pressure Relief Procedure. Notice Due to the different o-ring materials and lubricants used in the dispense guns, never submerge or soak any dis- pense gun in any type of solvent. Submerging or soak- ing any dispense gun will immediately void the gun war- ranty.
