IRT 4 PrepCure
2. Field of application
The IRT 4 PrepCure is used to accelerate the drying of
putty, filler, base and top coats. This applies to both
waterbased and solvent-based products. Its site of use is
the preparation area and finishing area. Within the auto-
motive industry and vehicle repair sectors, it is used to
dry small areas and cure materials before polishing.
3. Product description
The easily manoeuvrable IRT 4 PrepCure is equipped
with a compact cassette. The cassette is equipped with
3 IR lamps with gold coated reflectors and a ventilator.
The design, combined with a gas spring, makes cassette
adjustment simple. The IR lamps and reflectors are
protected against mechanical damage with a mesh. The
control unit enables flash off (50% power) and full bake
(100% power). The time can be set individually for each
mode (0-30 min).
3.1 Particular advantages
3.1.1 Higher quality
Using the mobile dryer when you dry putty also
improves the quality of the top coat. The high surface
temperature and curing from the inside outwards drive
all solvents and other reaction products from the coated
material.
3.1.2 Short drying times
Putty
2 - 4 min.
Filler
4 - 8 min.
Primer
6 - 9 min.
Water-base
2 - 4 min.
Base coat
5 - 9 min.
Top coat
7 - 12 min.
Clear coat
6 - 12 min.
3.1.3 High tech shape of reflectors
By using short-wave technology and gold coated
reflectors with a high tech shape we achieve important
advantages. First, by radiating only the needed areas
and not heating any air, a lower energy consumption is
achieved. Secondly, a more even surface temperature
is obtained by distributing the energy evenly. Thirdly, a
larger drying surface is achieved. Fourthly, less radiation
outside the curing area.
3.1.4 Good maneuverability
The units low weight and high reach makes the product
very competitive, versatile and easy to use.

4. Instruction to the owner
The owner of the mobile dryer must produce clear operat-
ing instructions, adapted to local site conditions, and
make these available to all users.
Mobile dryer users must adhere to these operating
instructions.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (includ-
ing children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concern-
ing use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
Dispose of spent items at the nearest environmental
protection facility for recycling.
5. Hazards
Fire and explosion
To reduce the risk of explosion, do not use in paint
spraybooths or within 5 m/16 feet of paint spraying
operations.
Do not store, prepare or use solvent-containing materi-
als within a 5 m/16 feet radius of the mobile dryer.
Flammable materials should not be placed close to a
drying device in use.
If you have a distance less than 60 cm/2 feet to the ob-
ject the temperature might raise quickly and the risk for
fire increases. Never direct the cassette towards highly
combustible materials.
Electrical equipment
The mobile dryer is operated by highly dangerous electri-
cal voltage.
Accessing electrical equipment
Before accessing live parts, remove the main connector
from the wall socket. Only professional electricians may
have direct access into the electrical equipment.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING!
Intensive heat radiation. Hands, face and other parts of
the body should be exposed as little as possible to the
heat radiation.
