maintenance
The Adjustable Hot Air Gun has no moving parts, and
requires only ltered compressed air for proper operation.
The Adjustable Hot Air Gun can be disassembled for
cleaning, if necessary, as shown above.
1. Do not operate at air pressures above 150 psig
(10.3 Bar).
2. Do not operate the Hot Air Gun at line temperatures
above 100
o
F (43
o
C).
3. Avoid direct contact with compressed air.
4. Do not direct compressed air at any person.
5. When using compressed air, wear safety glasses
with side shields.
NOTE: When using a Model 609 Adjustable Hot Air
Gun, there is no need to limit compressed air pressure
to a maximum of 30 psig (2 bar). It is not possible to
block the ow of air from a model 609 Adjustable Hot
Air Gun to register 30 psig on a test gauge.

LimiteD warranty
Vortec compressed air products manufactured by ITW
Air Management will be replaced or repaired if found to
be defective due to manufacture defect within ten years
from the date of invoice.
Refer to our website www.vortec.com for full warranty
details and limitations. ITW Air Management makes no
specic warranty merchantability or warrant of tness to
a particular purpose.
Insufficient airow may be caused by the following:
1. Undersized compressed air line size.
2. Compressed air pressure too low.
3. Partial or complete blockage of internal compressed
air path, due to dirt. See Maintenance section for
cleaning instructions; and Compressed Air Supply
section for lter recommendations.
4. Insufficient compressed air volume.
5. Loose cold cap. This may occur if not tightened
properly after disassembled for cleaning.
If trouble persists, please contact Vortec at 1-800-441-
7475.
trOuBLeSHOOtinG
The compressed air supply must be ltered to remove
water and dirt using a 5 micron or smaller lter. Failure
to use a lter may cause clogging (and freezing) of the
compressed air paths inside the Vortec product. Filter
recommendations are given in Table 1.
Filter elements must be changed on a regular basis.
Frequency of change is determined by the condition of
the compressed air supply. Filters should be installed in
the compressed air supply line as close as possible to
the Vortec product.
The appropriate size of compressed air supply line
should be selected to ensure optimal performance of
the Vortec product. Please refer to Table 2 to determine
what supply line size is recommended for your
application.
Contact Vortec at 1-800-441-7475 for further assistance.

inStaLLatiOn
An Adjustable Hot Air Gun can be installed by directly
plumbing to the appropriately-sized hard piped
compressed air source that does not exceed 150 psig
(10.3 Bar).
intrODuctiOn
An Adjustable Hot Air Gun is a device that converts
15 SCFM of ltered 100 psig (6.9 Bar) compressed air
into a hot airstream with temperatures adjustable up to
250oF. The Adjustable Hot Air Gun is perfect for a wide
range of industrial spot preheating applications.
(Drawings shown below are not to scale)
OperatiOn
The Adjustable Hot Air Gun uses 15 SCFM of
compressed air to provide your spot heating needs.
To adjust the temperature, unscrew the Threaded Cap
and remove the Hot Air Muffler. Turn the Needle Valve
counterclockwise for a cooler airow, or clockwise to
make the airow hotter. Reassemble Hot Air Muffler and
Threaded Cap after adjustment.
