Operation Basics To prevent accidental gun operation, always disconnect air supply before servicing gun or anytime gun is not in use. Isocyanate Hazard Spraying materials containing isocyanates creates potentially harmful mists, vapors, and atomized particulates. Read material manufacturer’s warnings and material MSDS to know specific hazards and precautions related to isocyanates.

Operation Basics Air Cap Adjustment Valve Use to control amount of air that passes through air cap and over mixing chamber tip. Airflow helps keep tip free of sprayed chemical. Too much air may distort spray pattern and create overspread. Too little air will not prop- erly clean end of valving rod.
Initial Set Up 1. Remove coupling block from gun. 2. Check valving rod clearance in closed posi- tion. Rod should extend approximately 1/32 in. (1 mm) beyond tip of mixing chamber. If it does not, see Valving Rod Adjustment procedure, page 21. 1/32 in.
Daily Start-Up Daily Start-Up Ensure gun is attached to coupling block and air hose, and the proportioning unit is at desired temperature and pressure. 1. Connect air supply to gun, page 9. 2. Adjust air cap valve, page 10. 3. Saturate felt in felt wiper with gun cleaner using flush can.
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 9. 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.

Maintenance Gun Service Kits Use either the 1-Quart Gun Service Kit (296980) or 3-Gallon Gun Service Kit (296981) to perform daily flushing of spray gun without disassembly. . 15: 1-Quart Gun Service Kit For more information about the 1-Quart Gun Service Kit, see manual 311340.
Maintenance Clean Spray Gun Procedure Thoroughly flush gun block with gun cleaner before removing valving rod or mixing compo- nents from gun block. Also allow chemicals in spray gun to cool before cleaning. This procedure makes use of the 1-Quart or 3-Gallon Gun Service Kit.
Repair Shut down proportioner and allow chemicals to cool before performing any repair proce- dures. Clean Center Line Components using Gun Service Kit prior to performing any repair pro- cedures. Filter Screen Removal and Service 1. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure (page 13) and Clean Spray Gun Procedure, page 2.
Valving Rod Adjustment In closed position, valving rod should extend approximately 1/32 in. (1 mm) beyond tip of mixing chamber. If it does not, follow this pro- cedure: 1/32 in. . 19: Valving Rod (Closed Position) 1. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure (page 13) and Clean Spray Gun Procedure, page 2.
Repair Centerline Component Removal Refer to Figure 2 to view centerline com- ponents. 1. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure (page 13) and Clean Spray Gun Procedure, page 2. Remove air cap by hand, turning it counter- clockwise. 3. Remove screen screw assembly. Flush and place in gun cleaner.

a. Remove ball and spring assembly. Hold ball and unscrew assembly. If dirt or material build-up prevents complete removal of the spring, screw it back in. Soak assembly in gun cleaner and try to remove it again. If ball and spring assembly cannot be removed undam- aged, replace it.
Repair Centerline Component Installation All gun block parts must be clean and free of damage before installation. 1. Remove felt wiper assembly from rear of mixing chamber. 2. Ensure internal mixing chamber parts are in place. 3. Insert chamber into gun block. Align key- way in chamber with pin protruding from top of hole in block.
