B. Connections
Connect the gun, hose and regulator to the
tank using a wrench to tighten the fittings
which all have left hand threads.
To check for leaks, open the tank valve with-
out actuating the gun handle to pressurize
the hose. The pressure gauge should read
between 15 and 30 PSI when the gun is not
in use. Then close the tank valve and
observe the pressure gauge. A rapid loss of
pressure indicates a leak. Check all connec-
tions.
C. Start-Up
After all connections are made and checked
for leaks, the gun is ready for use. Open the
tank valve. Wait approximately 5 seconds to
fully pressurize the hose or until the excess
flow check valve opens with an audible click.
To start the gun, first press the safety trig-
ger which prevents the gas handle from
being accidentally opened. Then squeeze
the gas handle slowly all the way until the
igniter fires with an audible click. CAUTION,
GUN WILL IGNITE.
NOTES:
1.
It is important to squeeze the gas han-
dle slowly. If the gas handle is squeezed too
quickly, the igniter will fire the spark plug
before the gas mixture gets there.
2.
Should the gun fail to fire fully, release
both safety trigger and gas handle fully to
assure that the igniter is reset and repeat
the starting procedure.
3.
The 998 heat tool comes complete with
a variable regulator assembly. The tool will
operate properly between 15 and 30 PSI.
For thinner films, we recommend the setting
to be on the low pressure side and adjust up
to the 30 PSI level as the films get thicker.
The factory setting is preset at 22 PSI.
