INJECTION AND HOT MATERIAL HAZARDS
To reduce the risk of serious injury from fluid injection or contact with hot material:
Lock the piston rod safety whenever you stop dispensing.
Close the fluid manifold needle valves completely with the nut driver provided before servicing the gun; this
will isolate the fluid pressure in the manifold and fluid hose.
If service or maintenance requires removing the gun from the production line, follow the procedure on page
18 to remove the gun.
PROBLEM
Air leaks:
1. Between gun body and cover,
when gun is triggered or not
triggered
2. Between gun body and cover,
when gun is triggered
3. Through exhaust holes:
a. When gun is not triggered
b. When gun is triggered or not
triggered
c. When gun is triggered
4. Through safety lock area, when
gun is triggered
Fluid leaks:
1. Between nozzle & needle, hous-
ing or packing
2. Between nozzle & housing
Gun operates slowly when it is
triggered
