4. Failure to properly support the supply hose will result in
premature failure. Support the supply hose to prevent excessive
flexure. Do not support the supply hose in a way that may add
to the thermal insulation or overheating will result. Do not add
to the hose support block.
5. Always check the calibration of the supply hose's temperature
after installing a new or different hose. Hoses can vary and
each supply hose can produce different temperature results.
(Refer to the supply hose manual for this procedure.)

between the applicator head and the mounting bracket, and
between the mounting bracket and mounting bolt (see illustration

possible to the application surface. Refer to the applicator head
manual for detailed mounting and operating instructions.
