Connect Fluid and Air Lines

Setup

Air Connections

Oil left in the system at the factory can react with cata- lyst and create a fire or explosion.

Flush before first use.

Do not add catalyst to the catalyst reservoir until the system has been flushed.

NOTE: When connecting gun hose bundle, the whip end connections in the bundle should be connected to the gun and the non-whip end connections should be connected to the proportioner. The whip end of the bun- dle is the end with more flexible lines. See gun manual for hose bundle connection details and individual hose identification.
