BEFORE USE
WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU
ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF AIR
COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLIES.
1. Ensure the compressor is turned off.
2. Drain any water from the airline filter and compressor.
3. Connect a suitable hose fitted with a female connector to the sealant gun.
4. Connect the other end of the hose to the compressor.
5. Turn on the air supply and check for air leaks. Rectify any found before
proceeding.

COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS
WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU
ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF
COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.
• Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source.
• Air compressors used with the tool must comply with the appropriate
European Community Safety Directives.
• A build-up of moisture or oil in the air compressor will accelerate
wear and corrosion in the tool. Ensure any moisture is drained from
the compressor daily and the inlet filter is kept clean.
• If an unusually long air hose is required, (over 8 metres), the line
pressure or the hose inside diameter may need to be increased.
• The air hose must be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating
pressure of the tool.
• A typical air line layout is shown above. If an automatic in-line filter/
regulator is used, it will keep the tool in good condition.
• For optimum performance it is recommended that a 3/8” ID hose is
used.
• Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the tool. It is
recommended that air pressure to this tool does not exceed 90 psi
at the tool when running. Higher pressures and dirty air will shorten
the life of the tool due to faster wear and is a possible safety hazard.

OPERATION
1. Ensure the gun is securely screwed to the sealant product container and
that the vent hole in the top of the screw cap is clear.
2. Select and secure either the short nozzle (item 4 on page 7) or the
extension hose (items 5-7 on page 7).
3. Set the air pressure to a maximum of 90psi..
4. If using the short nozzle, test on a spare piece of material first.
5. If using the flexible extension hose no adjustment is necessary. Ensure the
nozzle is fully inserted into the target aperture before pulling the trigger.
6. Release the trigger before removing the flexible tube nozzle.
DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY
1. Do not disconnect the air supply hose until the compressor has been shut
down and the compressed air released. Refer to the compressor instruction
manual for the procedure to shut down and vent the compressed air.
2. Once the pressure has been released, disconnect the air supply hose from
the air tool.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE AIR TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE
AIR SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING, OR MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES.
1. Clean thoroughly after use with a suitable solvent which will not harm the
O-rings inside the sealant gun.
PERFORMANCE
Please note that factors other than the tool may effect its operation and
efficiency such as reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the airline,
moisture or restrictions in the air-line, or the use of connectors of improper size
or poor condition which will reduce air supply.
Your Clarke air tool has been designed to give long and trouble free service. If,
however, having followed the instructions in this booklet carefully, you
encounter problems, contact the Clarke service department.
