Installation

3A7683G 13

Connect Whip Hose to Gun or Gun Manifold

Install hose in a helix configuration for:

• Easy gun movement

• Large spraying motion

• Ability to spray in tight areas and odd angles

• Reduced operator fatigue

• Maximum hose life

1. Overlap A and B component hoses and assemble

to gun or gun manifold fittings.

2. Tighten fittings to A-side and B-side component

hoses. Ensure gun or gun manifold remain flat after

fittings are tightened. Loosen and re-tighten fittings

as necessary to eliminate any undesired twisting in

the gun or gun manifold.

Check Hoses for Leaks

1. Fill the hose with material. See the Startup

procedure in your Reactor 3 Proportioning System

manual for instructions on filling hoses with material

for the first time. See Related Manuals, page 2.

2. After all lines are free of air, check for leaks. Visually

inspect fluid connections to ensure they are dry and

no material is leaking. If there are leaks, follow the

Pressure Relief Procedure in your Reactor 3

Proportioning System manual. See Related

Manuals, page 2.

3. If leaks are found, tighten connections, then

pressurize again to ensure leaks have stopped.
