  1. 1.0 Delivery specification:Β 
    • Owner's Handbook
    • Pressure reservoir spray gun (1) for cavity sealant
    • Spray set, consisting of spray hoses: Angle nozzle (2) and round spray nozzle (3)
    IMPORTANT: Prior to start-up read and familiarize yourself with the manufacturer's operating and safety instructions.
  2. 2.0 Start-up:Β 
    • Open the pressure reservoir and insert the cavity sealant in the form of a 1-litre can.

      Close the pressure reservoir.

    • Connect the spray hose to the quick-release coupling.
    • Connect the device to the compressed air supply.

      Operating pressure 2-6 bar, max. 8 bar!

  3. 3.0 Operating principle:Β 
    NOTE: Unlike previous devices you can alter the spray pattern on this device with the air volume regulating screw (large knurled screw).
    • Twisting the air volume regulating screw in decreases the air volume and thus reduces the formation of material mist.

      This facilitates optimum working when preserving open components/surfaces.Β 

    • Twisting the air volume regulating screw out increases the air volume and thus increases the formation of material mist. (For closed cavities)
    • The trigger has two settings.

      1st setting - air discharge only.

      2nd setting - air and material discharge.

    • After finishing work, press the first setting to clean the spray hose with compressed air.
    • Prior to storing, remember to twist the air volume regulating screw closed to reduce the risk of the material drying out.
    • Prior to an extended period of non-use (2 weeks and more), clean the gun.
    • To ensure that the spray hoses function properly, do not store them coiled up e.g. in the side member area!

      Store the spray hoses stretched out.

  4. 4.0 Application examples:Β 
    • Use the appropriate spray hoses for the different types of cavity and surface.
    • Example - doors, lids and hatches:

      Spray hose with angle nozzle. Reduce air volume to keep the formation of mist low.

    • Example - side members:

      Long spray hose with round spray nozzle. The air volume must be increased a little, depending on the type used.

    • Basically, keep the formation of mist low to avoid fouling and unpleasant odors.
  5. 5.0 Safety instructions:Β 
    • Do not inhale spray mist.
    • Use in well ventilated rooms only.
    • Operating pressure max. 8 bar.
