Setup and Loading

Before operation, ensure all components are clean and properly assembled. The B12B30SP dispenser can be loaded with 30oz bulk material, 20oz sausage packs, or 10oz cartridges.

Loading Procedure:

1. Prepare the Dispenser: Ensure the dispenser is clean and free of old sealant.
2. Load Sealant: Insert the desired sealant (bulk, sausage, or cartridge) into the steel barrel. For bulk material, use the 21-24 Hytrel Piston. For 10oz cartridges, use the 29-5 Cartridge Ejector.
3. Attach Nozzle: Securely attach the 1032-G02 Spot-Pro Extension Nozzle to the dispenser.
4. Prime the System: After loading, pump the trigger several times to fill the extension nozzle with sealant. Continue pumping until sealant begins to emerge from the nozzle tip.
5. Charge the Load: Once the unit is full, pump the trigger to ensure the sealant is under pressure and ready for consistent application.

Operating Instructions

The Spot-Pro System is designed for efficient and precise application of sealant to exposed fasteners on metal roofing and siding.

Application Steps:

1. Position the Nozzle: Place the tip of the 1032-G02 Spot-Pro Extension Nozzle directly over the fastener head you wish to seal.
2. Activate the Valve: Press down firmly on the screw head with the nozzle tip. This action activates the spring-loaded valve, allowing sealant to be dispensed.
3. Apply Sealant: A consistent dab of sealant will be applied to the fastener head. Release pressure once the desired amount is dispensed.
4. Maintain Pressure: Keep the load charged by occasionally pumping the trigger to ensure continuous and consistent sealant flow.
5. Move to Next Fastener: Lift the nozzle and move to the next fastener, repeating the process.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance and cleaning are crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your Spot-Pro System. Clean the tool immediately after each use, especially when using fast-curing sealants.

Cleaning Procedure:

1. Disassemble: The system easily disassembles for thorough cleaning. Separate the extension nozzle from the dispenser and remove any remaining sealant.
2. Clean Components: Use an appropriate solvent or cleaning agent recommended by the sealant manufacturer to clean all parts that came into contact with the sealant. Pay special attention to the nozzle tip, valve mechanism, and the inside of the barrel.
3. Wipe Down: Wipe all external surfaces of the dispenser and nozzle to remove any sealant residue.
4. Lubricate (if applicable): Refer to the sealant or tool manufacturer's guidelines for any recommended lubrication of moving parts after cleaning.
5. Store: Store the clean and dry components in a safe place, protected from dust and extreme temperatures.
