OPERATION
4.1. Always inspect the gun before use to ensure it is not damaged. If in doubt do not use the gun and contact your Sealey Stockist.
4.2. Shake can vigorously for 30 seconds prior to installing onto foam gun.
4.3. Make sure the gun basket is perfectly clean and apply some petro-jelly or light grease to the inside of the gun basket area. This helps prevent foam from curing to the basket and gluing the can onto the gun.
4.4. Screw the cartridge onto the gun’s adaptor until it is tight. DO NOT over-tighten as this may cause damage to the threads.
4.5. Pull the trigger to start the foam flow, this may be regulated by the bead size adjuster until the desired foam bead is achieved
4.6. Release the trigger and tighten the size adjuster to lock the needle in the closed position, to prevent accidental discharge when the gun is not in use.
4.7. Always store the gun with the can attached in the normal use position.
4.8. Replace empty cartridges as soon as possible to avoid the hardening of the foam in the gun.
4.9. To re-use, simply shake the foam can vigorously for 30 seconds.
4.10 When the cartridge is emptied unscrew it out of the foam gun socket. Clean possible dirt with cleanser and screw new cartridge in.
MAINTENANCE
5.1. If the gun is not to be reloaded it must be cleaned as soon as possible after the cartridge has been removed to avoid hardening of the foam inside the gun.
5.2. Once the foam has become hard solvents will not necessarily dissolve all residues.
5.3. Always ensure all foam is released from the gun before cleaning.
× DO NOT use water to clean the gun.
5.4. Only clean the gun with recommended cleaning solvents, any other solvents may damage the gun.
