Troubleshooting
No sealant is dispensed.
Check that the air compressor is on and providing adequate pressure (30-40psi). Ensure the air hose is securely connected to the gun's air inlet and that the cartridge is properly seated.
Sealant flow is inconsistent or splatters.
Verify the air pressure is within the recommended range. Check the air hose for leaks. Ensure the cartridge is not empty or blocked and that the nozzle is clear of obstructions.
Trigger is stiff or unresponsive.
Ensure there is sufficient air pressure. Check for any external debris jamming the trigger mechanism. If the issue persists, the internal valve may require servicing.
Air leaks from the gun.
Inspect all connections, particularly the air inlet fitting and the hose connection, for tightness. Check the O-rings and seals for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
