MAINTENANCE
37
ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR AND GLOVES WHEN PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.
MAINTENANCE OF THE SLUG PRO GUN SHOULD BE PERFORMED ON ONLY ONE SIDE (A-SIDE
or B-SIDE) AT A TIME. FOR EXAMPLE, PERFORM MAINTENANCE ON THE A-SIDE ONLY AND PUT
BACK TOGETHER BEFORE WORKING ON THE B-SIDE.
The most important part of maintenance is keeping the equipment clean. Care should be taken to prevent
foam or the individual A-SIDE and B-SIDE from hardening on the Gun Body, Flow Controllers, Ball Valves,
etc. Overall cleanliness of the SLUG PRO gun will reduce excessive maintenance, replacement of parts,
and costs.
