Spray Gun Kit
1. Description
The Firestone Spray Gun Kit includes the spray gun (with extension)
and a rubber hose. The spray gun and hose were specifically designed
to spray the RubberCover™ Bonding Adhesive BA-2016 S and,
therefore, cannot be substituted for another kit that may not be
compatible with the adhesive.
2. Connecting
Remember that the canister should be at a moderate temperature (15°- 25°C) when spraying and the operator
should be wearing personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves.
With the tip of the gun facing away, rotate the trigger lock (1) clockwise until it is tight against the trigger (2)
preventing it from moving.
Attach the large end of the hose to the gun. Use a wrench to ensure a secure fit but do not overtighten.
Remove the plastic thread protector from the valve assembly of the canister and connect the free end of the hose
to the canister. Make sure that threads are aligned properly. The fitting should turn easily. Use a wrench to tighten
the connection but do not overtighten.
Open the valve of the canister slowly and check for leakages at both connections. Close the valve if leaks occur and
check fittings to make sure they are connected properly.
The canister valve should only be closed when transferring the gun and hose to another canister. Once the valve is
open and the kit is attached to the canister, never close it otherwise the adhesive in the kit will dry out and the kit
will have to be cleaned. The gun must be closed during transportation to avoid spillages.
3. Spraying
Ensure that the gun and hose are in good condition for spraying and that both are properly connected prior
usage. Unlock the trigger (1) with a maximum of three rotations. The condition of the spray equipment should
be checked periodically during the working day.
Prepare a piece of scrap material for use as a spray gun test target. Depress the spray gun trigger (2) fully to spray
adhesive.
Provide a consistent dispersion of the adhesive.
Keep the spray gun with the nozzle at a distance of 25 cm to 30 cm from the surface. We recommend a spraying
pattern of 1 meter wide. Spraying in a wider arc will not provide consistent coverage.
Keep the spray gun moving while spraying to ensure even coverage.
Always engage the trigger lock (1) when you stop spraying to prevent the spray gun from being triggered accidentally.
4. Re-use
The spray gun and rubber hose have a long service life if properly maintained and can be re-used once the
canister is empty.
Close the valve of the empty canister and remove the pressure in the hose depressing the spray gun trigger (2).
Lock the spray gun trigger (1) and disconnect the hose from the canister.
Connect the hose to the new canister and tighten the connection.
Open the valve on the new canister slowly and squeeze the trigger (2) to remove all air from the kit.
