CHANGING DISPENSE HAND
When performing an applicator changeover, the nose assembly, unwind assembly, rewind, and wiring are first changed to the opposite
hand dispense. Then each component assembly is remounted on the opposite side of the applicator. The symmetry of the applicator
main module and the individual parts facilitate the changeover process, but it can be confusing if care is not exercised. The
explanation and diagrams in the sections below will guide you through this process.
