PRODUCT SETUP

PRODUCT SETUP

The applicator should be setup and have successfully passed the static test before going on in this
section. If you have skipped the applicator setup section and have trouble with the application
here, it will leave you with more areas to troubleshoot to fix the problem.

Applicator Attitudes

The applicator can be positioned in a number of positions. Below applicators are shown in
different attitudes with the proper name under it.
