Starting up and Operating the FP‐200 Gun
This section provides instructions for safely starting up and operating FP‐200
guns and for using the FP‐200 swirl gun air valve to adjust the swirl adhesive
pattern.
CAUTION: Do not operate the hot melt system at pressures capable of
causing the adhesive to extrude more than 46cm (18in.) from the nozzle tip
when the gun is fired. Doing so can harm personnel or equipment and cause
poor pattern control.
NOTE: The recommended adhesive pump pressure range is
2.41 to 4.83mPa (350 to 700psi). To determine the pressure for your
applicator, refer to your applicator product manual.
The following factors can cause adhesive to project beyond the maximum
recommended projection limit:
S increasing pump pressure
S increasing applicator temperature
S changing the adhesive's consistency
S changing to a smaller size nozzle orifice
S changing the hose length
