Operation

3A7683G 15

Operation

1. Connect air hose to main air supply.

2. Connect spray gun to gun fluid manifold. See your

spray gun manual for further details.

NOTE: For best handling of gun, see page for 12

for proper hose connection.

3. Connect whip air hose to gun air inlet if equipped.

See your gun manual.

4. Follow Setup, Startup, and Operation procedures in

your Reactor 3 Proportioning System manual.

Do not operate a coiled hose. A coiled hose creates

uneven heat buildup, which can result in hose rupture

and cause serious injury, including skin injection.

Do not exceed maximum hose operating

temperature. See Technical Specifications, page

25, for maximum allowable operating temperature.

Hose must be properly supported to avoid excessive

strain due to weight, bending, sharp edges, or stress

caused by running over a roof edge.

Fluid subjected to heat in confined spaces, including

hoses, can create a rapid rise in pressure due to

thermal expansion. Over-pressurization can result in

equipment rupture and serious injury.

To prevent over-pressurization caused by thermal

expansion:

• Open a valve to relieve the fluid expansion during

heating.

• Replace hoses pro-actively at regular intervals

based on your operating conditions.

NOTICE

Heated hose must always contain fluid when hose

power is on. Never apply power to an empty heated

hose. Powering empty hoses may cause equipment

damage.

NOTICE

Always completely unroll and bleed the air from the

hose before each use. If the air is not bled from the

hose, heat transfer from the heating conductor will

not be uniform. In the worst case, the conductor can

be damaged. The warranty is void in such cases.
