Key Components:

• Foam Entrance: Designed for easy and secure attachment of foam cans, ensuring a tight seal.
• Foam Export (Nozzle): Features a pure copper nozzle for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning, providing precise foam delivery.
• Trigger: Spring-triggered design for controlled foam spray, enhancing comfort and ease of use.
• Ergonomic Handle: Coated with silica gel for a soft, comfortable, and non-slip grip.
• Foam Flow Controller: A rotary valve located at the rear of the gun to regulate the foam output volume.

3. Setup

1. Prepare the Work Area: Ensure the area is well-ventilated and clear of obstructions. Lay down drop cloths or protective sheeting to prevent unwanted foam adhesion.
2. Wear Protective Gear: Put on safety glasses and gloves before handling foam or the gun.
3. Prepare the Foam Can: Shake the foam can vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure proper mixing of contents.
4. Attach the Foam Can: Screw the foam can onto the foam gun's entrance. Ensure it is securely tightened to prevent leaks. Do not overtighten.

Note: This foam gun is not compatible with all foam can types, specifically some 'Great Stuff' brand containers. Ensure your foam can has a threaded adapter compatible with the gun.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Adjust Foam Flow: Use the rotary foam flow controller at the rear of the gun to adjust the desired foam output. Turn clockwise to decrease flow, counter-clockwise to increase.
2. Test Application: Before applying to your project, test the foam flow on a scrap piece of material to ensure the desired bead size and consistency.
3. Apply Foam: Point the nozzle at the area to be filled or sealed. Gently pull the trigger to dispense foam. Maintain a steady hand and consistent pressure for an even bead.
4. Filling Gaps: For deep gaps, apply foam in layers, allowing each layer to expand and cure partially before applying the next. Do not overfill, as foam expands significantly.
5. Using Extension Tubes: For hard-to-reach areas, attach the provided short or long extension tubes to the nozzle for extended reach and precision.

5. Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for extending the lifespan of your Preciva Foam Gun and ensuring consistent performance. Foam can quickly cure and clog the mechanism if not cleaned immediately after use.

1. Immediate Cleaning: After each use, remove the foam can. Immediately attach a can of foam gun cleaner (sold separately) to the foam gun.
2. Flush the Gun: Spray the cleaner through the gun until the dispensed liquid runs clear. This flushes out any residual foam from the barrel and internal mechanisms.
3. Clean Exterior: Use a cloth dampened with cleaner to wipe down the exterior of the gun, especially around the nozzle and adapter, to remove any uncured foam.
4. Storage: Once clean, remove the cleaner can and store the foam gun in a dry, clean place.
