Preparing to Convert an FP-200 Gun
WARNING! Hot! Risk of burns! Hot applicator parts, splashed hot melt
material, and hot gun surfaces can cause severe burns. Wear long-sleeved,
heat-protective clothing, safety goggles, and heat-protective gloves. Hot
melt material may be released forcefully.
WARNING: Risk of burns. System or material pressurized. Air trapped in
hoses and guns can spit out molten adhesive that can cause severe burns.
Failure to relieve hydraulic pressure can result in serious burns. Relieve
hydraulic pressure when instructed to do so.
WARNING! Even when switched off, Nordson applicators, hoses, and guns
contain electrical potentials that can cause death. Disconnect and lock out
line voltage to the applicator when instructed to do so.
1. Relieve hydraulic pressure (refer to the Relieving Hydraulic Pressure
procedure in the FP-200 gun product manual).
2. Switch the applicator circuit breaker to the OFF position.
3. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the applicator.
4. Shut off the air supply to the gun.
5. Remove the heat shield from the existing gun as follows:
a. Remove the auxiliary guide handle.
b. Disconnect the extrusion air line from the service block.
c. Remove the heat shield.
d. Reconnect the extrusion air line. Do not reinstall the auxiliary guide
handle.
6. Remove the existing gun from the suspension system by disconnecting
the hose hydraulically and electrically and by disconnecting the air line.
