from the two components will be purged and diluted with Gun Cleaner and will not react
with one another when the Gun Block components are removed.

EQUIPMENT WHEN SERVICING OR OPERATING THE

1.
ENGAGE THE SAFETY STOP- Push in and turn the Safety Stop clockwise to place
the gun in the Safety position.
2.
CLOSE BOTH MANUAL VALVES- Using the 5/16” Spintite, turn each Manual
Valve fully clockwise.
3.
REMOVE THE GUN FROM THE COUPLING BLOCK- Using the 5/16" Spintite,
remove the Coupling Block. Separate the gun from the Coupling Block. Using a rag
soaked with Gun Cleaner, wipe the face of the Coupling Block to prevent material
build-up.
4.
ATTACH THE SERVICE BLOCK OF THE GUN SERVICE KIT TO THE GUN–
Using the 5/16” Spintite; fasten the Service Block to the gun. Pressurize the
container to 100 psi.
5.
CLEAN THE GUN- Proceed as follows:
a)
Open either one of the Manual Valves on the Service Block.
b)
Disengage the Safety Stop by pushing in and turning counter clockwise
to place the gun in the Open position (The Red Band will be exposed).
NOTE:
Opening one manual valve at a
time will allow flushing of
individual chemicals. This is
useful when flushing high
viscosity materials and
ensures maximum
effectiveness in purging the
gun of chemical.
c)
Trigger the Gun Service Kit and the Gun simultaneously catching the
Gun Cleaner in an appropriate container.
(A fine, unobstructed mist of cleaner should exit the Tip.)
