INTRODUCTION

The Model 30A GunJet® is a heavy-duty, impact-resistant spray gun with a sturdy nylon handle and trigger guard. The Model 30A GunJet is a high pressure spray gun, which remains responsive and easy to operate even at maximum flow and capacity conditions. The light trigger pull provides positive control. The heat-resistant handle remains comfortable even at high temperatures. A special trigger lock feature locks in the “off” position to prevent accidental discharge and retracts flush into the handle when the gun is in use. The Model 30AW incorporates a continuous “weep” feature to minimize the chance of freezing and, except for the valve seat subassembly, the 30A and 30AW GunJet spray guns are identical and require the same installation and operating procedures. The Model 30A and 30AW GunJet spray guns will accommodate standard Spraying Systems Co. accessories for both the inlet and the outlet connections with the accessories’ pressure and temperature limitations.

Features of the Model 30-GunJet spray guns:

• Operating pressure range up to 1500 psi (105 bar).
• Flow capacities to 5 GPM (19 l/min) with 80 psi (5.5 bar) pressure drop.
• The maximum recommended temperature is 200°F (93° C).
• Single piece, forged brass inlet body.
• Stainless steel inlet body.
• Stainless steel shut-off needle.
• Bronze-filled PTFE valve seat.
• Buna-N stem seal.
• Short hand grip (handle to trigger).

WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING A SPRAY GUN THIS IS A HIGH- PRESSURE DEVICE THAT SHOULD ONLY BE USED IN A
PROPERLY ENGINEERED SYSTEM. THIS SPRAY GUN SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY BY TRAINED OPERATORS AND KEPT OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTION SHEETS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THE MODEL 60 HIGH-PRESSURE GUN JET SPRAY GUN.
HEED ALL THESE WARNINGS or serious and permanent injury may result.
GENERAL WARNING FOR HIGH-PRESSURE SPRAY GUNS: IF THE OPERATING PRESSURE IS BETWEEN 100 PSIG (0.69 MPA) AND 3200 PSIG (22.06 MPA), THEN AN EXTENSION OR WAND SHOULD BE USED THAT SEPARATES THE DISCHARGE NOZZLE A MINIMUM OF 29.5 INCHES (750 MM) FROM THE TRIGGER MECHANISM. DO NOT ASSEMBLE THE DISCHARGE NOZZLE DIRECTLY INTO THE SPRAY GUN.
IF THE OPERATING PRESSURE IS BETWEEN 3200 PSIG (22.06 MPA) AND 5000 PSIG (34.48 MPA), THEN AN EXTENSION OR WAND SHOULD BE USED THAT SEPARATES THE DISCHARGE NOZZLE A MINIMUM OF 4.0 FEET (1.22 M) FROM THE TRIGGER MECHANISM. DO NOT ASSEMBLE THE DISCHARGE NOZZLE DIRECTLY INTO THE SPRAY GUN.

1. DO NOT aim gun at any person or any part of the body. Fluids under high pressure can penetrate the human skin and can cause severe injury, possibly resulting in amputation or death. Hot liquids and chemicals can also cause burns or injury. If any part of the body comes in contact with the spray stream, immediately consult a physician.
2. DO NOT at any time place hands or any other part of the body in front of spray nozzle or tip.
3.  DO NOT alter equipment in any manner; if repairs are necessary, use only genuine factory repair parts supplied by Spraying Systems Co.
4. DO NOT exceed the maximum operating pressure of the lowest rated accessory item within the spray system even though some of the accessories have a higher maximum pressure rating.
5. DO NOT leave equipment under pressure unattended at any time. Relieve pressure by shutting off power to the pump, turning off the liquid supply to the pump, and actuating Trigger until all fluid ceases to flow; then position Trigger Lock to the locked position.
6. DO NOT use damaged, perforated, or weakened fluid hose.
7. DO NOT use a GunJet with a faulty or damaged Trigger Lock.
8. DO NOT operate a spray gun if there are any leaks from the packings, fittings, hoses, etc. Fluids that are under high pressure can penetrate skin, cloth, etc., and cause serious injury.
9. DO NOT touch any metal parts of the gun or accessories when spraying hot liquids or severe injury can occur.
10. DO NOT handle a spray gun without a tip or nozzle any differently than one with a tip or nozzle. Even with the tip or nozzle removed, the spray gun can discharge a large volume of liquid at a high velocity.

SAFETY SHOULD ALWAYS BE OBSERVED

1. DO use a two-handed control of Model 60 GunJet at all times. Grasp spray gun firmly with both hands. If an extension is used, grasp the extension. (Insulated extension if spraying hot liquids.)
2. DO adopt a secure body stance prior to and during spray operation to safely control the high reactionary force of this unit.
3. DO impress on other people in the spraying area the importance of obeying strict safety precautions for everyone’s safety.
4. DO develop a habit of shutting off the power to the pump, relieving fluid pressure from gun and hose by actuating trigger until all fluid ceases to flow, and setting the Trigger Lock in the locked position, before attempting to remove the tip, nozzle, gun or any part of the gun, or when gun is not in use.
5. DO check the operation of the Trigger Lock before each spray period. Trigger Lock must hold the Trigger to its forward position. (Adjust if necessary; see section Trigger Adjustment Procedure.)
6. DO carefully check and tighten threaded connections regularly. Make them secure and leakproof.
7. DO flush gun after each spray period using the same safety precautions as used during spraying operations. Always use the lowest possible pressure for flushing.
8. DO keep gun clean and dry to allow for positive grip.
9. DO use GunJet in a well-ventilated area and make sure spray gun is grounded properly when used in a possibly explosive or inflammable environment. A grounded-type hose should be used.
   IMPORTANT: In case of the slightest appearance of skin penetration from spray, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY!

INSTALLATION

1. Before installing GunJet® to hose, select WashJet® tip or, if desired, an appropriate extension and WashJet nozzle for your application. Install on gun with nozzle positioned for your particular spraying needs and tighten.
2. Make sure all power is turned off to the pump. Attach GunJet to a high-pressure hose with a rating to meet or exceed the maximum operating pressure to be used. When a spray gun is being used in a possible explosive or flammable environment, a grounded-type hose should be used.
3. Follow your pump and component parts manufacturer’s recommendations for operation, but in any case, do not exceed the pressure or temperature of the lowest rated component within the system.
4. Make sure all power to the pump is turned off and there is no pressure in any part of the system. Examine all connections, making sure they are of the proper type and are secure.
5. Before turning on the pump and holding the GunJet in a downward vertical position pointed away from body, familiarize yourself with the operation of the Trigger Lock (21).
6. Make sure Trigger Lock (21) is in a locked position. Do not turn on the pump power or operate a spray gun if Trigger Lock is not operating properly.
