DELAYED AIR PURGE FEATURES
The control box receives a signal from the gun, once the signal is received the air purge is shut off via the Air Purge
control Valve (APCV), this valve is held in with the Delay Spool Valve (DSV). When the trigger is released the gun sign-
nal is cancelled to the DSV, the DSV then begins to count down to reset mode, once complete the APCV is reset and
air purge resumes.
The DSV is adjustable up to 15 seconds of delay. Factory set point is 2 seconds. To adjust the time delay of the DSV,
remove the plug #7279-09 from cover. Use a small at head screw driver, turn clock wise to increase delay time, coun-
ter clock wise to decrease delay.
The operator is responsible for recognizing the air purge delay time verses gel time of the materials being processed
with this equipment to ensure the gun does not prematurely set up. The Red eye on the front panel indicates when the
APCV is open, allowing air purge to the gun. The on/off switch will by-pass the signal air to the DSV, allowing the gun
to be operated normally with out the delay action of air purge.
DISPENSE COUNTER FEATURES
The control box receives a signal when the gun trigger is activated, to activate the timer, the timer counter receives sig-
nal from the change over switches. Pneumatic drive systems use a 3 way check valve and receive signal from both up-
per and lower switches, making the timer a “stroke counter”. Hydraulic drive systems use a single signal, typically to
the lower signal switch, making the timer a “cycle counter”.
When the predetermined count is reached the timer activates the bimba cylinder in the back of the gun to overcome
the trigger at the gun, the operator will need to recognize this “feel” of the trigger and release the trigger.
When the gun trigger is released the signal air is cancelled to a delay spool valve (DSV) located in box assembly.
The DSV delays the reset of the counter for 3 seconds.
The timer will reset to the set point and cancel the air to the actuation cylinder.
The on/off switch will by-pass the counter signal allowing the system to operated independent of the counter.

SAFETY
Safe Handling And Use Of Urethane Foam
Equipment
Introduction
Any tool, if used improperly, can be dangerous. Safety
is ultimately the responsibility of those using the tool. In
like manner, safe operation of polyester processes is
the responsibility of those who use such processes and
those who operate the equipment. This manual outlines
procedures to be followed in conducting polyester op-
erations safely.
All personnel involved in dispensing operations should
read and understand this manual. It is most important
that equipment operators, maintenance, and supervi-
sory personnel understand the requirements for safe
operation.
This manual cannot answer every circumstance; each
user should examine his own operation, develop his
own safety program and be assured that his equipment
operators follow correct procedures. GlasCraft hopes
that this manual is helpful to the user and recommends
that the precautions in this manual be included in any
such program.
Urethane foam systems are comprised of several differ-
ent chemical compounds, some of which may be haz-
ardous if improperly used.
CAUTION
Particular caution must be taken with respect to the
vapors released during the use of urethane foam sys-
tems.
Isocyanate compounds are used in urethane foaming
operations. The medical history of persons who may be
exposed to such isocyanates should be examined. It is
recommended that individuals with a history of chronic
respiratory ailments should avoid exposure to all iso-
cyanates.
In addition to the manual, GlasCraft recommends that
the user consult the regulations established under the
Occupational Safety & Health Act (OSHA), particularly
the following sections:
• 1910.94 Pertaining to ventilation.
• 1910.106 Pertaining to ammable liquids.
• 1910.107 Pertaining to spray nishing opera
tions, particularly Paragraph (m)
Organic Peroxides and Dual Component Coatings. Local
codes and authorities also have standards to be followed
in the operation of your spraying equipment. Chemical
manufacturer’s recommendations should be obtained
and considered. Your insurance carrier will be helpful in
answering questions that arise in your development of
safe procedures.
Personnel Safety Equipment
GlasCraft recommends the following Personal Safety
Equipment for conducting safe operations of the Polyes-
ter Systems:
GlasCraft recommends that the user consult the state
and local regulations established for all Safety equipment
listed.
Operating Safely
In operating urethane foam equipment safely, user should
make every effort to:
1. Handle chemicals safely.
2. Provide adequate ventilation.
3. Provide adequate safety equipment (gloves, res-
pirators, safety glasses, protective clothing, etc.) for op-
erators and all others working in areas where they may
be exposed to the chemicals or their vapors.
4. Avoid operating equipment which has given any
indication of malfunction.
5. Become fully acquainted with the equipment and
chemicals used.
Handling Chemicals Safely
Storage of polyisocyanates, diamines, and organic sol-
vents should be isolated and restricted to specially con-
structed storage rooms. Store chemicals in original con-
tainers and according to manufacturer’s recommendations
listed on the container. Maximum ambient temperatures
to which such chemicals should be exposed are specied
by the manufacturer and MUST NOT be exceeded either
in the storage area or in the spraying or pouring area.

SAFETY
11
To avoid moisture contamination, do not open contain-
ers until ready for use. After use, the remaining material
should be re-sealed in the original container and stored in
areas away from moisture.
During clean-up of spilled isocyanate component, respira-
tors, gloves and eye protection must be worn. Isocyanates
which have been spilled can be controlled by covering
them with dry sawdust and/or other absorbent, inert mate-
rials. Care should be taken to avoid skin contact. The ab-
sorbent material and the absorbed isocyanate should be
collected promptly, placed in an open-top container, and
treated with dilute solutions of ammonium hydroxide and/
or alcohol. While being treated in this manner, the material
should be in an adequately ventilated area. Clothing on
which any material has been spilled should be removed
immediately, and cleaned before being worn again.
Clean-Up Solvents
WARNING
A hazardous situation may be present in your pressurized
uid system!
Halogenated Hydrocarbon Solvents can cause an explo-
sion when used with aluminum or galvanized components
in a closed (pressurized) uid system (pumps, heaters, l-
ters, valves, spray guns, tanks, etc.).
The explosion could cause serious injury, death and/or
substantial property damage.
Cleaning agents, coatings, paints, etc. may contain Halo-
genated Hydrocarbon Solvents.
Some GlasCraft spray equipment includes aluminum or
galvanized components and will be affected by
Halogenated Hydrocarbon Solvents.
There are three key elements to the Halogenated Hydro-
carbon (HHC) solvent hazard.
1. The presence of HHC solvents. 1,1,1-Trichloro
ethane and Methylene Chloride are the most common of
these solvents. However, other HHC solvents are suspect
if used; either as part of paint or adhesives formulation, or
for clean-up or ushing.
2. Aluminum or Galvanized Parts. Most handling
equipment contains these elements. In contact with these
metals, HHC solvents could generate a corrosive reaction
of a catalytic nature.
3. Equipment capable of withstanding pres-
sure. When HHC solvents contact aluminum or galva-
nized parts inside a closed container, such as a pump,
spray gun, or uid handling system, the chemical reac-
tion can, over time, result in a build-up of heat and pres-
sure, which can reach explosive proportions.
When all three elements are present, the result can be
an extremely violent explosion. The reaction can be
sustained with very little aluminum or galvanized metal:
any amount of aluminum is too much.
The reaction is unpredictable. Prior use of an HHC
solvent without incident (corrosion or explosion) does
NOT mean that such use is safe. These solvents can
be dangerous alone (as a clean-up or ushing agent) or
when used as a component of a coating material. There
is no known inhibitor that is effective under all circum-
stances. Furthermore, the mixing of HHC solvents with
other materials or solvents, such as MEK, alcohol, and
toluene, may render the inhibitors ineffective.
The use of reclaimed solvents is particularly hazardous.
Reclaimers may not add any inhibitors, or may add
incorrect amounts of inhibitors, or may add improper
types of inhibitors. Also, the possible presence of water
in reclaimed solvents could feed the reaction.
Anodized or other oxide coatings cannot be relied upon
to prevent the explosive reaction. Such coatings can be
worn, cracked, scratched, or too thin to prevent contact.
There is no known way to make oxide coatings or to
employ aluminum alloys, which will safely prevent the
chemical reaction under all circumstances.
Several solvent suppliers have recently begun pro-
moting HHC solvents for use in coating systems. The
increasing use of HHC solvents is increasing the risk.
Because of their exemption from many State Implemen-
tation Plans as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s),
their low ammability hazard, and their not being classi-
ed as toxic or carcinogenic substances, HHC solvents
are very desirable in many respects.

12
SAFETY
WARNING
If you are now using Halogenated Hydrocarbon solvents
in pressurized uid systems having aluminum or galva-
nized wetted parts,
IMMEDIATELY TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
• Empty system, shut-off, completely depressur-
ize in accordance with equipment service instructions.
• Remove equipment from service, disassemble
in accordance with equipment servicing instructions.
• Inspect all parts for corrosion and/or wear. Re-
place any damaged parts.
• Thoroughly clean all parts of the equipment with
a non-halogenated solvent and reassemble in accor-
dance with equipment servicing instructions.
• Flush equipment with non-halogenated solvent.
• Do NOT reuse equipment with HHC solvents or
with materials containing such solvents.
• Material suppliers and/or container labels should
be consulted to ensure that the solvents used are com-
patible with your equipment.
NOTE
GlasCraft is aware of NO stabilizers available to prevent
Halogenated Hydrocarbon solvents from reaction under
all conditions with aluminum components in a closed
uid system.
TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION...
Halogenated Hydrocarbon solvents are dangerous
when used with aluminum components in a closed uid
system.
Consult your material supplier to determine whether your
solvent or coating contains Halogenated Hydrocarbon
Solvents.
GlasCraft recommends that you contact your solvent
supplier regarding the best non-ammable clean-up sol-
vent with the heat toxicity for your application.
If, however, you nd it necessary to use ammable
solvents, they must be kept in approved, electrically
grounded containers.
Bulk solvent should be stored in a well-ventilated, sepa-
rate building, 50 feet away from your main plant.
You should allow only enough solvent for one day’s use
in your laminating area.
“NO SMOKING” signs must be posted and observed in
all areas of storage or where solvents and other
ammable materials are used.
Adequate ventilation (as covered in OSHA Section
1910.94 and NFPA No. 91) is important wherever sol-
vents are stored or used, to minimize, conne and ex-
haust the solvent vapors.
Solvents should be handled in accordance with OSHA
Section 1910.106 and 1910.107.
Toxicity of Chemicals
GlasCraft recommends that you consult OSHA Sections
1910.94, 1910.106, 1910.107 and NFPA No. 33, Chapter
14, and NFPA No. 91.
Contact your chemical supplier(s) and determine the tox-
icity of the various chemicals used, as well as the best
methods to prevent injury, irritation and danger to per-
sonnel.
Also determine the best methods of rst aid treatment for
each chemical used in your plan
First Aid
If chemicals containing isocyanate are splashed on the
skin, they can produce ill effects. Steps to counteract
such effects should be started immediately.
Apply Tincture of Green Soap, full strength, to the con-
taminated area. If Tincture of Green Soap is not immedi-
ately available, wash the exposed area repeatedly with
soap and water. Soap and water is not as desirable as
using Tincture of Green Soap because many isocyanate
components are not easily dissolved in water. In addition,
soap and water does not form a barrier to the isocya-
nate.
After approximately two to four minutes, wash off the
Tincture of Green Soap with water. If there is still an indi-
cation of isocyanate present, repeat the application. If the
isocyanate contamination is on the facial area, care must
be taken to avoid getting the Tincture of Green Soap in
the eyes.
If the person develops breathing difculties, oxygen
should be administered. Quite often the exposed person
will experience residual effects such as coughing spells.
CONTACT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
WARNING
Contact a doctor immediately in the event of an injury
and give him the information you have collected. If your
information includes rst aid instructions, administer rst
aid immediately while you are contacting the doctor.

13
SAFETY
If a person accidentally swallows isocyanate, large
amounts of water should be swallowed immediately.
Vomiting should then be induced by patient sticking his
nger down his throat, or by swallowing large quantities
of warm salt water or warm soapy water. After vomiting,
more water should be taken to dilute isocyanate further.
CONTACT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
Ventilation
WARNING
Hazardous concentrations of some chemical vapors ex-
ist before they can be smelled. Chemical component
suppliers should be contacted to determine at what
concentrations the vapors of the chemicals they supply
become dangerous, and the procedures and equipment
needed to detect such dangerous concentrations. Such
equipment should be obtained.
Adequate ventilation must be provided in any area where
foam chemicals are sprayed or poured, and wherever
the material containers are opened.
In industrial applications, foaming operations should be
restricted to specic areas, and proper ventilation should
be provided in these areas to prevent chemical vapors
from spreading. Spray foaming operations MUST be re-
stricted to a spray booth where a minimum exhaust of
100 feet per minute at the face of the booth is provided.
Special care should be taken to prevent unsuspecting
personnel both inside and outside of the plant from be-
ing exposed to chemical vapors. The chemical vapors
should be exhausted to atmosphere in such a manner
and at a sufciently low concentration that personnel
outside the plant are not exposed to dangerous concen-
trations of chemical vapors. Refer to OSHA Standards,
sub-part G, 1910.107 and particularly sub-section (m)
for Federal standards. State and local authorities may
have applicable statutes or regulations concerning ven-
tilation.
In contractor applications (for example, at a construction
site, inside building or other enclosed space), the forced
ventilation normally provided is likely to be inadequate.
These applications, therefore, usually REQUIRE the use
of forced, fresh air respirators for all persons in the areas
where foaming operations are conducted or where the
chemical vapors are likely to spread.
In industrial and contractor applications, it is advisable
to run frequent tests to determine the exact concentra-
tion of isocyanate vapor in the air. Industrial equipment
is available for making such determinations. Your chemi-
cal supplier can recommend such equipment and pro-
cedures.
Proper Safety Equipment
All persons spraying or working is areas where forced
air ventilation is not adequate to remove isocyanate va-
pors from the air MUST use an approved (U.S. Bureau
of Mines) fresh air supplied respirator.
Respirators should be regularly inspected, cleaned and
disinfected according to good practices. Records must
be kept of the inspections. The user MUST have a medi-
cal clearance indicating that he can safely use a respira-
tor.
Respirators must t securely; beards prevent a tight seal
around the face. Eye glasses have to be given special
attention and contact lenses are prohibited.
Safety goggles, gloves and other protective devices are
suggested for operators of foaming equipment. Refer to
OSHA Standards, sub-part 1, 1910.132, 1910.133 and
1910.134 for Federal standards.
