Assembling the Extrusion Gun
See Figure 4 for steps 1 through 5.
1. Reinstall the mounting bracket on the opposite side of the gun mounting
plate. Ensure that the mounting bracket is positioned as shown in
Figure 4.
2. Install the air regulator in the mounting bracket by removing one locking
nut and washer, inserting the regulator through the hole in the mounting
bracket, then replacing and tightening the locking nut and washer.
Ensure that the T manifold inlet is facing away from the gun mounting
plate.
NOTE: For best results, lightly coat the connector threads of the
universal elbows, T manifold, outlet air line swivel fitting, and #10–32
connector with an anaerobic sealant before assembling them as directed
in steps 3 through 5 and step 8.
CAUTION! Do not overtighten fittings when performing the following steps.
Overtightening can cause the connectors to crack and snap off.
Finger-tightening, combined with the use of a sealant, is usually sufficient.
CAUTION! Only a small amount of sealant is required. Do not overcoat
connectors with sealant. Overcoating can cause excess sealant to migrate
into the air passages.
3. Attach the extrusion air line universal elbow to the T manifold.
4. Thread the T manifold into the air regulator, then thread the outlet air line
swivel fitting into the T manifold. Carefully tighten the fittings.
