OPERATION
ADJUST METERING CYLINDER
The metering device of the MeterJet® Spray Gun consists of a cylinder (7),
metering ring (14), and cylinder cap (15). A vertical scale from 1 to 16 milliliters
(ml) in 2 ml increments is molded into the cylinder (7). A Vernier scale from 0 to
2 ml in 0.1 ml increments is located on the metering ring (14). One complete
revolution of the metering ring will adjust the metering cylinder by an
increment of 2 milliliters. Manipulation of the metering ring will allow the
applicator to set the metering cylinder to deliver a precise dosage
To adjust the metering cylinder to a desired volume (1 - 16 ml) rotate the
metering sub assembly cap (15) to a position below 16 ml on the cylinder
(vertical) scale. Next, thread the metering ring to a position above 0 ml on the
cylinder (vertical) scale.
Rotate the metering ring down until the closest even milliliter value (on the
vertical scale), less than the desired volume, appears above the top edge of the
metering ring. Next rotate the metering ring to a position where the sum of the
value on the Vernier scale plus the last visible value on the vertical scale equals
the volume desired. Please note that specific increments on the Vernier scale
are correctly read when aligned with the axis on the vertical scale. Refer to
figure 1.
