Application Instructions 3
Trigger [
B
]
By pulling the trigger, a cushion of compressed air is built up inside the
applicator, this initiates the flow of liquid composites. On releasing the
trigger, the liquid composites flow ceases as the compressed air escapes
rapidly by a quick exhaust valve at the rear of the gun.
Plunger Return Button (where fitted) [
C
]
Press and hold the plunger return button [C], then pull the trigger [B]. This
will pull back the plunger rods automatically ready for the next cartridge, If
the applicator is not fitted with the air return button, manually pull back the
plungers using the indicator knob [D].
Indicator/Return Knob [
D
]
This gives a visual indication of how much material is remaining in the
cartridge during use. For guns not fitted with air return, the return knob is
used to manually pull the plungers back.
Maintenance
Daily: Wipe the applicator using the liquid composites manufacturers
recommended solvent before it has time to set. Special care should be
taken to make sure no residue is left on the rods.
Weekly: Check the plungers and all external bolts / screws are tight.
Tighten if found to be loose.
Monthly: Lubrication of internal pistons and seals: Place 3 drops of oil on
the air inlet at the bottom of the butt. Recouple the air line and when next
operated the compressed air will blow the oil into the workings of the gun.
Connection
Check the supply pressure. For optimum performance the supply pressure
must be greater than 100 P.S.l. (6.8 bar) and less than 145 PSI (10 bar) and
a CFM of 8 – 10. The applicator will work at lower supply pressures, but
flow rates could be reduced and may vary. Connect the applicator to a
suitable compressed air source using the supplied fitting, or with a suitable
fitting. All applicators are fitted with a male ‘h BSP thread.
Operation/Controls
Internal Press Regulator [
A
]
The internal pressure regulator controls the liquid composites flow rate and
ensures a stable flow of liquid composites is maintained. To increase the
flow of liquid composites, turn the knob in a clockwise (+) direction. To
decrease the flow, turn the knob in a counter clockwise (-) direction.
