Bedliner Production Outline Taping and Papering: Protect what you do not want sprayed Mask off bed of truck to protect areas of truck not to be coated with TOFF Utilize cutting tape to produce clean cut trim lines Remove tie-downs and bed bolts accordingly Always cover cab of truck Sanding Surface Preparation: Produce a clean, dry, well abraded surface before spraying Sand/ abrade all surfaces to be sprayed Utilize cup brush for most areas Hand sand all trim lines Blow off sanding residue and wipe clean with Denatured Alcohol Utilize appropriate primers as needed for non- painted surfaces Spraying Application: Apply a uniform, quality liner Utilize cartridges that are between 80-95 degrees Fahrenheit Set regulator between 90-100psi Set speed control dial Always purge air bubbles appropriately Apply even, uniform base coats and texture coats Trimming and Detailing: Produce clean, straight trim lines and inspect unit for cleanliness Pull cutting tapes at consistent angles slightly towards liner Remove all tape, paper and plastic Inspect all trim lines and clean accordingly Inspect entire vehicle for potential overspray Clean vehicle as needed Apply window sticker and bedplate 6
Operating instructions The TOFF CS spray gun is easy to use and to maintain. The following procedures will help you understand how the spray gun operates, providing you with simple procedures to maintain your equipment in good working condition. Always wear proper protective equipment for all applications! Safety This spray gun is designed for heavy duty cycles over extended operating periods. As compressed air is used as the power source, it must be remembered that compressed air CAN BE DANGEROUS when used incorrectly. The user should take time to read and understand these operating instructions fully prior to using the spray gun. Any modifications to the spray gun made by the user could cause personal injury. Support Handle The black support handle can be threaded into multiple locations on your spray gun. Select the position that best suits you. Air Assembly and Regulator Secure the air assembly and regulator to the gun handle. Utilizing Teflon tape is suggested. Compressed Dry Air Supply The regulator gauge should be set between 90 and 100 PSI. Check the supply pressure. For optimum performance the supply pressure must be greater than 100 PSI and less than 145 PSI. 120 PSI is suggested. The incoming air pressure supplied to the cylinder is regulated by the air regulator and speed control dial. The air pressure going to the atomization tip is regulated by the atomization valve. The spray gun will work at lower supply pressures, but flow will be reduced and may vary potentially causing restrictions or blockages. Connect the spray gun to a suitable compressed air source using the fitting supplied or with a suitable fitting. 7
O p e r a t i o n s A. Speed Control Dial The Speed Control Dial regulates the air flow to the cylinder and thus the material flow rate in conjunction with chemical temperature. This regulator is located on the back of the gun near the directional brass buttons. Turn this dial towards the (+) plus sign until resistance is met. Then turn the dial 1 rotation of 360 degrees towards the (-) minus sign. This is where the regulator should be set. B. Trigger By pulling the trigger, a cushion of compressed air is built up inside the spray gun, which initiates the flow of material. On releasing the trigger, the material flow ceases as the compressed air escapes rapidly by a quick exhaust valve at the rear of the gun. C. Forward Air / Reverse Air Buttons Push the Forward Air button for spraying of material. Push the Reverse Air button to pull the plunger rods back automatically and to ready the spray gun for the next cartridge. Do not touch button with elbow or shoulder while spraying. D. Safety Valve If you hear air leaking from the handle, then your compressor source is exceeding 145 PSI and the safety valve is bleeding off the excess air. You should adjust the source so that it is lower than 145 PSI. Familiarize yourself with the spray gun before loading a cartridge to spray. Connect the airline to the spray gun and WITHOUT A CARTRIDGE, identify the forward and reverse buttons, trigger the gun forward and backwards. Identify the atomization valve and its location. Trigger the gun forward and backwards several times and mimic your spray pattern before spraying a liner. Be careful not to open the atomization valve with a loose airline! 8
/ C o n t r o l s E. Cartridge Preparation & Loading For application, chemical temperature should be between 80-95F (use thermometer provided to confirm). Remove the plug from the cartridge nozzle. Attach the mixing tube tightly to thenozzle. Maintain open cartridges in a vertical position to avoid blockages in the mixer. Maintain the spray gun in a vertical position to during and after loading cartridges. It is important that the cartridge is seated properly in the applicator frame. If the front of the cartridge is not seated properly, breakage of the cartridge can result. The front face of the cartridge must be flush to the front plate of the applicator. Cartridge should also seat properly in the black guide plate. Attach the airline elbow to the atomization tip on the end of the mixing tube. Adjust the tip so that it sits flush with the mixing tube itself. It is recommended to prepare all cartridges for the application before beginning to spray. F. Application Maintain your spray gun and cartridge in a vertical position. Keep the atomization valve closed until after purging air bubbles. With the gun pointed away from the surface to be sprayed, lower the gun to ~ a 45 degree angle. Pull the trigger and purge the air bubbles. Once the bubbles are purged and an even stream is obtained, open the atomization valve to set your spray pattern and begin your application. To apply the texture coat, open your atomization valve more completely and maintain a good distance from the surfaces for a uniform texture. If air bubbles are not purged, an improper off ratio reaction may occur. All improperly reacted material must be removed and surfaces cleaned properly before re-spraying 9
T r o u b l e s PROBLEM Reduced chemical flow or clogged mixer CAUSE Released trigger during application Low air pressure. Cold chemical. Reaction in mixer prior to use Forward/Reverse button pressed Shiny spots in liner Inconsistent texture Excessive texture Run in liner Slow or excessive application Uneven or Jagged trim lines Thin application on trim lines Pulling fiber erratically Bubbling Liner Did not purge air bubbles Water, sweat or foreign substance on substrate Leak at cartridge nozzle / mixer Water in air lines Purging air bubbles on the bed Chemical displaced out the back of the cartridge Chemical temperature too low Cartridge not properly aligned in gun Cardboard spacer left in bottom of cartridge 10
s h o o t i n g SOLUTION Do not release trigger Confirm air pressure Confirm gun settings Confirm chemical temperatures Texture all surfaces evenly Maintain proper distance and move quickly during texture coat Maintain proper distance and apply even coats Spray over trim lines well Pull fiber in consistent lines slightly toward the liner Purge air bubbles from every cartridge Properly clean and dry surfaces to be sprayed Install mixer securely to cartridge Maintain supply of dry air Purge air bubbles on enclosure wall Store and Maintain cartridges between 70-95 degrees Fahrenheit. Application chemical temperature 80-95 degrees Properly align cartridge before ACTIONS Stop spraying if product flow changes. Remove mixer, clean cartridge nozzle, check for cross-contamination. Adjust air pressure/heat chemical. Mixing tubes ar NOT reusable! Re-Texture shiny surfaces Re-Texture shiny surfaces Sand run level to liner, blow out residue, wipe clean with alcohol before respraying Retape and respray if needed Retape and respray if needed or clean lines with knife Remove all improperly reacted product. Clean, Sand and extremely well before respraying See Above See Above See Above See Above Clean affected area ASAP. Clean spray gun very well ASAP especially trigger and pistons See Above Remove from cartridge prior to use See Above Technical Support: 1 (888) I-AM-TOFF (426-8633) 11
