Clean Felt Wiper

1. Insert nozzle of flush can into holes of felt wiper.

2. Saturate felt with gun cleaner.

Initial Set Up

1. Remove coupling block from gun.

2. Check valving rod clearance in closed position. Rod 

should extend approximately 1/32 in. (1 mm) 
beyond tip of mixing chamber. If it does not, see 

Valving Rod Adjustment

 procedure, page 20.

3. Adjust valving rod travel to initial setting.

a. Loosen friction lock. Turn valving rod 

adjustment screw clockwise until it stops.

b. Turn valving rod adjustment screw 11 turns 

counterclockwise.

4. Connect air supply hose to gun.

5. Connect A-isocyanate hose (red-taped) to notched 

fitting on coupling block. Then connect R-resin hose 
(blue-taped) to fitting without notches on coupling 
block.

6. Close both manual valves.

7. Pressurize the A and R chemical hoses and check 

for leaks. (Refer to your proportioning system 
manual.)

8. Bleed air from chemical hoses:

a. Hold coupling block with exit ports pointed into 

disposable container.

b. Open each manual valve to allow trapped air to 

escape. Bleed each side until chemical is free of 
air.

c. Close both manual valves.

9. Use clean cloth soaked in gun cleaner to wipe clean 

coupling block and its mating surfaces.

NOTE:

 To avoid accumulation of dirt and other 

contaminants, do not apply grease to mating surfaces of 
coupling block.

10. Install coupling block to gun block.

11. Proceed with 

Daily Start-Up

 procedure or 

Daily 

Shutdown

, page 13, procedure as required.

Daily Start-Up

1. Connect air supply to gun, 

Air Hose Connection

page 11.

2. Adjust air cap valve, 

Air Cap Adjustment Valve

page 11.

3. Saturate felt in felt wiper with gun cleaner using 

flush can.

4. Trigger gun multiple times to ensure valving rod 

moves the full travel quickly and freely.

NOTE: 

Sluggish valving rod action may result in valving 

rod sticking in open position when fluid pressure is 
applied. Always have a 5/16 in. nut driver available to 
quickly close manual valves on coupling block.

5. Open both manual valves,

Ensure gun is attached to coupling block and air 
hose, and the proportioning unit is at desired 
temperature and pressure.
