1.0 Attach Forward Handle & Regulator
1.1 Attach the forward handle to the front
plate by threading it into the hole.
1.2 Thread T-fi tting into air inlet on
handle of gun. The nozzle air pressure
adjustment knob should point towards
the ground, and the nozzle air supply
hose connection should point toward the
nozzle end of the applicator.
1.3 Attach the air supply hose quick disconnect
fitting to the T-fi tting.
Note: Confi rm the quick-disconnect
fi tting is the proper size for your air
supply hose. Other fi ttings may be
substituted if needed.
1.4 Push the nozzle air hose fi rmly onto
the connector on the regulator.
1.5 Make sure the ball valve is closed
before attaching air supply hose to the
unit.
2.0 Attach Mix Nozzle to Cartridge
2.1 Stand cartridge assembly with outlet
end up.
2.2 Place the bell end of the mix nozzle
over the cartridge outlet. Press fi rmly to
seat the nozzle.
2.3 Thread the nut assembly clockwise
onto the cartridge outlet and tighten
securely.
3.0 Install Cartridge In Applicator
3.1 Heat Protal Repair Cartridge to 120°F
to ensure optimal mix and spray results.
3.2 Before installing cartridges into gun,
hold gun in a vertical position pointing
in a safe direction away from yourself
and other personnel. This will reduce the
chance of material drooling into the mixer
bell housing causing premature cure of
material in mixer.
3.3 Place the large end of the cartridge
assembly (piston seal end) over the two
ejector plates of the applicator, pushing
the cartridge assembly towards the air
cylinder, snapping the cartridge into
place. Ensure that the cartridge assembly
is properly seated in cradle of gun and
ejector plates and rod assembly are
properly aligned in applicator.
3.4 Attach elbow connector on nozzle air
hose fi rmly onto the nozzle inlet.
4.0 Using the Protal Air Cartridge Gun
4.1 Point applicator upward and attach
air supply hose to the regulator. The air
supply pressure should be 90-110 psi. |
4.2 Purge cartridge and nozzle by fi rst
pointing the nozzle up and pulling the
trigger just long enough to fi ll the mix
nozzle with material; release the trigger
before actually dispensing material from
the nozzle. Second, point the nozzle
into a waste receptacle and dispense
approximately a one-half nozzle-length of
potentially unmixed material.
Note: Do not open the ball valve until
after the cartridge and nozzle have
been purged.
4.3 Point the nozzle in a safe direction
and open the ball valve to start the air
fl ow to the nozzle.
4.4 Turn regulator knob to adjust air
pressure to 35 psi.
4.5 Pull trigger to spray. Release to stop
spraying.
4.6 Close the ball valve to stop the air
fl ow to the nozzle.
5.0 Remove Cartridge from Applicator
5.1 While pressing the air return button,
pull the trigger to retract the ejector
plates from the cartridge. Or, push the
return pusher toward the air cylinder
to retract the ejector plates from the
cartridge.
5.2 Remove the air supply hose from the
regulator.
5.3 Remove the elbow connector on
nozzle air hose from the nozzle inlet.
Note: Do not discard the 90° elbow
connector. It is not necessary to
remove the connector from the nozzle
air hose.
5.4 While holding back the return
pusher, push the cartridge assembly
towards the air cylinder and lift out of the
applicator cradle.
5.5 Partially-used cartridges may be
reused by removing and discarding
the nozzle and resealing the cartridge
with the original plug. Be sure to realign
the plug according to the A and B
compounds.
Note: Refer to the Protal Liquid
Coatings MSDS (Parts A and B) and
applicable regulations or authorities
for waste disposal.
6.0 Cleaning
6.1 Wipe off excess coating material
with a clean rag and a small amount
of solvent, avoiding getting solvent on
regulator and piston housing. |
