Warnings
WARNING
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD
Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled, or
swallowed.
•
•
Read MSDSs to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.
Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable guidelines.
PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Use of fluids that are incompatible with aluminum in pressurized equipment can cause serious
chemical reaction and equipment rupture. Failure to follow this warning can result in death, serious
injury, or property damage.
• Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or
fluids containing such solvents.
• Many other fluids may contain chemicals that can react with aluminum. Contact your material
supplier for compatibility.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Wear appropriate protective equipment when in the work area to help prevent serious injury, including
eye injury, hearing loss, inhalation of toxic fumes, and burns. This protective equipment includes but is
not limited to:
•
•
Protective eyewear, and hearing protection.
Respirators, protective clothing, and gloves as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
•
•
Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system
component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.
•
Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Technical Data in all
equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings. For complete information
about your material, request MSDS from distributor or retailer.
•
•
•
Do not leave the work area while equipment is energized or under pressure.
Turn off all equipment and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when equipment is not in use.
Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine manu-
facturer’s replacement parts only.
•
Do not alter or modify equipment. Alterations or modifications may void agency approvals and cre-
ate safety hazards.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which you are using it.
Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.
Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces.
Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.
Keep children and animals away from work area.
Comply with all applicable safety regulations.

Pressure Relief Procedure
Pressure Relief Procedure
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever
you see this symbol.
7. Disengage the trigger lock.
This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is
manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from
pressurized fluid, such as skin injection, splashing
fluid and moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure when you stop spraying and before
cleaning, checking, or servicing the equipment.
TI1950a
TI1953a
8. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to a grounded
metal pail. Trigger the gun to relieve pressure.
9. Engage the trigger lock.
Relieve A and B Fluid Pressure
1. Engage the trigger lock.
10. If you are using a XP Sprayer, close the dual shutoff
handle (AE) and open the circulation handle (AC).

2. Close the main air shutoff valve (CA) on your pro-
portioner pump or 1K sprayer.

11. Always flush the mix hose after relieving A and B
fluid pressure through the mix manifold. See Flush
Mixed Material instructions in XP Sprayer manual.
CA
12. Shutoff the solvent supply pump and repeat steps
6-8 to relieve solvent pressure. Ensure solvent
valves (B, E) are open.

3. Shut off heaters, if used.
E - OPEN
B - OPEN
4. Shut off feed pumps, if used.
5. Open gun #1 and gun #2 material shutoff valves (A,
F).
A - OPEN
F - OPEN
If you are using a XP Sprayer and the mixed material
has already been flushed, but pressure remains on
the A and B pumps, pressure can be relieved back
to the hoppers.
a. Close the main air shutoff valve (CA).
b. Open the circulation handle (AC).
6. Remove the spray tip and clean.

Installation
Installation
Flushing
1. Connect the mixed material supply line from the pro-
portioner or 1K sprayer to the manifold material inlet
port (D).
The gun splitter valve can flush both guns at the same
time or flush one gun independently while the other gun
continues to spray. The equipment must be flushed if:
2. Connect a hose between each manifold gun mate-
rial outlet (G,H) and spray gun fluid inlet.
3. Connect a solvent supply hose from the solvent sup-
ply to the manifold solvent inlet port (C).
•
•
Any gun will not be used within the pot life of the
material.
Neither gun will be used within the pot life of the
material. The mixed feed line, splitter, and both guns
must be flushed.
Operation
NOTICE
Do not allow mixed material to reside in equipment
longer than the pot life of the material at fluid tem-
perature. Pot life is much shorter than dry time.
Heated material cures much faster than ambient
and may damage your equipment. Check your
material safety data sheet (MSDS).
To reduce the risk of skin injection, follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure in your proportioner or 1K
sprayer manual when you stop spraying and before
cleaning, checking, servicing, or transporting
equipment.
Depending on which gun you want to supply material to,
open the material shutoff valve for gun #1 (A), gun #2
(F), or both valves.
1. Close the material shutoff valves gun #1 (A) or gun
#2 (F) for the gun to be flushed.
2. Relieve material pressure in the gun to be flushed
by unlocking the trigger lock. Trigger the gun into a
grounded pail. Lock trigger lock.

9. Final Flush must be done from the proportioner’s
mix manifold or while flushing your pre-mix sprayer,
through the gun splitter to the gun. Follow Flushing
procedure in your proportioner or sprayer manual.
NOTE: It is good practice to flush through each individ-
ual flush line valve after flushing through the main inlet.
