Design Flexibility FP900 adhesive dispensing modules permit exceptional control of swirldensity without overspray. FP900 handguns can easily be converted fromswirl to extrusion application. Refer to Parts for swirl nozzle adapter kits andfor extrusion nozzle kits.

FP900 handguns have an auxiliary guide handle that permits two-handeduse for further control. The auxiliary guide handle can be positioned foreither left- or right-handed use. The module can be positioned to applymaterial either vertically or horizontally.

An air supply line connects to FP900 handguns through an air pressureregulator, eliminating the need for an air control kit.



Nozzle Selection Swirl nozzles are single-piece assemblies consisting of a retainer nut and awide pattern swirl disk. The swirl nozzle’s recessed tip protects the nozzlefrom damage that can be caused by tools or by dropping the nozzle. Theswirl nozzle is easier to clean but can be damaged if it is installedincorrectly.

Extrusion nozzles provide for the direct application of material withoutatomization of the material.

Factors that determine nozzle size include:

2. Install an air pressure regulator and gauge at the beginning of the airsupply line.

Connect the Hose to the Bulk Unloader Connect the hose hydraulically to the 5 gal or 55 gal drum unloader inaccordance with the unloader product manual.



Operation WARNING! Allow only personnel with appropriate training and experienceto operate or service the equipment. The use of untrained or inexperiencedpersonnel to operate or service the equipment can result in injury, includingdeath, to themselves and others, and damage to the equipment.

This section provides instructions for safely starting up and operating FP900handguns and for using the FP900 swirl handgun air flow control to adjustthe swirl material pattern.

WARNING! Do not operate the system at pressures capable of causing thematerial to extrude more than 46 cm (18 in.) from the nozzle tip when thehandgun is fired. Doing so can harm personnel or equipment and causepoor pattern control.

NOTE: The maximum material pressure range is 20.7 mPa (3,000 psi).

The following factors can cause material to project beyond the maximumrecommended projection limit:

� increasing material pressure� changing to a smaller size nozzle orifice� changing the hose length

Daily Startup and Operation

WARNING! Never point the handgun at anyone. Trigger the handgun onlywhen material is to be applied to a substrate.

1. Ensure that the trigger safety is in the LOCKED position.

2. Prepare the bulk unloader for normal operation by following the startupprocedures in the bulk unloader product manual.

3. Apply air pressure to the bulk unloader.

4. Place the trigger safety in the unlocked position.

5. Position the handgun at the desired location above the substrate.

6. Dispense material by triggering the handgun.



7. To adjust output pressure at the nozzle, turn the regulator adjustmentscrew clockwise to increase pressure, counterclockwise to decreasepressure.

8. Stop dispensing material by releasing the trigger.

WARNING! Place the trigger in the locked position any time the handgun isnot in use. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.

9. When not using the handgun, place the trigger safety in the LOCKEDposition.

NOTE: A change in pressure causes a change in maximum velocityand flow. Pressure adjustments can be made with the bulk unloader inthe ON or OFF position.

10. If the handgun will be idle for 5 to 30 minutes, apply grease to the nozzleexit hole.

11. If the handgun will be idle for more than 30 minutes, or to shut down thesystem, refer to Shutdown and Handgun Storage later in this section.



Swirl Handgun Pattern Adjustment Adjust the material pattern of FP900 swirl handguns using the followingmethod:

1. See Figure 17. Turn the air adjust screw (1) and the fluid valve adjustscrew (2) clockwise until seated.

2. Turn the air adjust screw (1) counterclockwise 1.5−2 turns.

3. Pull the trigger to actuate swirl air.

NOTE: The module should not open at this time. If it does, turn the fluidvalve adjust screw until the needle is seated.

Figure 17 Swirl pattern adjustment knob

1. Air adjust screw 2. Fluid valve adjust screw

Note: Handgun air supply should be between 4.8−6.2 bar (70−90 psi).



4. Apply hydraulic pressure. Refer to the bulk unloader manual.

5. Turn the fluid valve adjust screw (2) counterclockwise in 1/4-turnincrements, pulling the trigger between adjustments.

6. Continue adjustments until material exits from the nozzle slightly afterthe air begins to swirl from the aircap.

Once the fluid and air adjustments have been made, observe pattern qualityand width of spray.

� Reduce or increase hydraulic pressure at the bulk unloader if toomuch or too little material is deposited onto the substrate.

� Increase or decrease pattern width by turning the air adjust screw (1)counterclockwise to increase, clockwise to decrease.

Alternative nozzle orifice sizes are available if these adjustments are notsufficient to achieve the desired spray pattern. A larger orifice size isrecommended for higher viscosity materials, while a smaller orifice isrecommended for lower viscosity materials. Refer to Nozzles under Partsfor available nozzles.

Swirl Handgun to Extrusion Handgun Conversion NOTE: Refer to Nozzles under Parts for available extrusion nozzles.

The FP900 handgun can be converted to from a swirl handgun to anextrusion handgun. To do this:

1. Remove hydraulic pressure from the bulk unloader. Refer to the bulkunloader manual for the correct procedure.

2. Remove the wide swirl adapter from the adapter seat.

3. Screw the extrusion nozzle onto the adapter seat.



Shutdown and Handgun Storage CAUTION! Risk of equipment damage. Do not allow the handgun to remainidle for more than 30 minutes. Doing so can cause PUR to cure inside thehandgun.

Follow this procedure to store the handgun when it is not in use.

1. Disconnect and lock out power to the bulk unloader.

2. Remove the hydraulic hose. Flush the hose or cap the hose so that thePUR material is not exposed to air.

3. Remove one of the plug fittings from the handgun.
